Isn't OneAPI a good example of the problem, alongside Mojo/ONNX/TensorRT? The industry doesn't need a fifteenth competing standard. They need hardware buy-in. By holistic, I mean hardware architecture cooperation. Nvidia

I'm talking about holistic efforts like OpenCL, and standards that would be equivalent to Nvidia's "Compute Capability" versioning. The basic underlying tech can be agreed on, but Apple/AMD/Intel all have diffe

I would too, but sadly that's Khronos' job to organize, and they've had trouble getting American vendors to work together. It's likely that CUDA will continue dominating until they put aside their differences. The curren

Apple's Neural Engine is equivalent to the "NPU" hardware you would find on many cheap ARM SBCs. It's a dedicated coprocessor with a very low performance target, not intended for giant transformers or LLM acceleration. T

Halakha is characteristically flawed like all other religious law. It can be interpreted in merciful denomenations, or cruel and internationally illegal ones.
