Unfortunate how CUDA has such a stranglehold on scientific work

Competition is welcome, deep stack knowledge from driver to model building is hard to come by (it's more than just matrix multiplies).

To compete with CUDA you need high performance drivers and people that can write them, and also be able to anticipate and keep up with the future needs of ML as well as hardware development.

Why is that bad?

I'm guessing Nvidia hardware lockin
