ROCm likely won't take over, because of its flaws. Eventually, of course, either it or something else, would emerge as a solution.

But it will take time. Buying time is what this ban is trying to achieve. Slowing down the rivals.

I think you overestimate how long such a change would take.

If Nvidia was banned tomorrow, I think within 6 months another leader would emerge and be supported by all the big libraries.

ROCm is already supported by Pytorch apparently.

[londons_explore]

My understanding is that while it is theoretically supported, the vast majority of random pytorch projects you find on GitHub will need tweaks before they'll run in ROCm
