> Huge users like OpenAI and Facebook might find improving AMD support pays for itself.

At that scale they may actually develop their own hardware a la Google TPU.

If you want to just focus on the AI problem and not on infrastructure, just use NVidia. If you want control and efficiency, design your own. AMD kind of falls in a weird middle ground with respect to the massive companies.

Google’s focus on TPUs have caused them many issues though other giant players might see spending FTE-equivalents on PyTorch etc development as a better investment choice.
