Sure. But this work is done, and can be reused by others.

Meanwhile, Nvidia hardware is expensive and still is in short supply. AMD might look quite tempting.



It sure doesn’t sound done. It’s a one off hacked set of scripts tied to incompatible chunks of a ton of libraries. What happens when you want or need other parts of the PyTorch/billion libs ecosystem? You’re gonna get more AMD engineers and waste 5 months getting those to work?

Meanwhile those libs release running CUDA on NVidia’s old and newest releases out of the box.

So no, it cannot be reused by others in production any more than my custom hacked car engine mod can be added by Ford to every car in existence.

Have you done any deep professional production work on any of these stacks? I have, and would never, ever put stuff like the stuff in the article in production. It’s no where near ready for production use.


There is a difference between doing something just for yourself and making it usable by others.


Like the article say, if the model change a little this work need to be almost thrown out
