geohot explained on one of this streams, and per my terrible memory: “tiny” is a way of expressing the architecture constraint that the system should not attempt to target [(many hardware architectures and their optimizations) * (many model, training, etc etc variants)] like PyTorch - which requires maintenance of a shit ton of code and a staff/community behind Meta. Instead, tinygrad should provide core abstractions that can be composed to accomplish a similar set of targets but for only one hardware architecture (for now I guess). He is releasing a companion hardware item which would fund the development I believe.
