Would it be possible to run AI on an AMD GPU instead of Nvidia?

      Can’t wait! But really, this type of things is what makes it hard for me to cheer at AMD:

      For reasons unknown to me, AMD decided this year to discontinue funding the effort and not release it as any software product. But the good news was that there was a clause in case of this eventuality: Janik could open-source the work if/when the contract ended.

      I wish we had a champion of openness but in that respect AMD just looks like a worse version of NVidia. Hell, even Intel has been a better player!

        I just got DirectML working with torch in WSL2 which was fairly painless.

        I am wondering if that isn’t a better option than trying to emulate CUDA directly. Love it or hate it, Microsoft did do a fairly good job wrangling in different platforms with DirectX.
