> wouldn't it be a duopoly considering that AMD is also a big player?

I don't think GPUs are commoditized. You can't swap a Nvida GPU with a AMD GPU, and get the same performance/results.

AMD seem to be catching up quickly lately. I'm running Stable Diffusion, Llama-2, and Pytorch on a 7900XTX right now. Getting it up and running even on an unsupported Linux distro is relatively straightforward. Details for Arch are here: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2584462

The HIP interface even has almost exact interoperability with CUDA, so you don't have to rewrite your code.

Inference and training are not the same things. AMD has basically no market share in training.
Now try doing the same on Windows.
