inference is often a static, bounded problem solvable by generic compilers. training requires the mature ecosystem and numerical stability of cuda to handle mixed-precision operations. unless you rewrite the software from the ground up like Google but for most companies it's cheaper and faster to buy NVIDIA hardware

What does it even mean in neural net context?

> numerical stability

also nice to expand a bit.
