That's a big issue in AMD land imho. Everyone can pickup a 200$ GPU (talking about the RTX 3050) which will behave like a scaled down A100 and get started playing around with CUDA. You can't really do that with AMD GPUs, their cheapest officially supported GPU is the 7900 XTX and that has a different architecture than the data center ones.

I agree. Maybe one idea would be to also make 7900 XTX's for rent (cheaply) too.
That's another thing. I have some stuff I'd like to try, but I can't even find places where I could quickly rent a GPU without applying for quotas.
That is indeed an issue, and I am actively working on it.
