Isn't HIP+ROCm a serious "competitor" to CUDA? You can convert your code automatic from CUDA to HIP. At least that's why the advertising says; I haven't used it myself. Plus, PyTorch and Tensorflow have AMD support, I thought.

It may convert your own code, but it can’t convert the CUDA libraries.

It also doesn’t help that AMD has stopped supporting ROCm for the current consumer GPUs.

Which CUDA libraries are you referring to? NVIDIA libraries like cuBLAS? There are ROCm libraries for a subset of those, but it's definitely a work-in-progress.
