Is cost really the main differentiator here, tho? "Solving" coding seems like the holy grail atm (and I agree, it can enable a bunch of things once that's done) and "traditional, organic, human fed code" is pretty expensive atm, so does cost really matter now?

Put another way, how much would company x be willing to spend on "here's a repo, here are the tests, here is the speed now, make this faster while still passing all the tests". If it "solves" something in cudnn that makes it 10% faster, how much would nvidia pay for this? 1m$? 10m$?
