I wish you luck then. Right now, you need CUDA to run things like bf16 or quantization, which are truly enablers in this space.

So for now, I don't see AMD getting any traction. And apparently, the quality of the drivers has not been improving. Time will tell.

Agreed. And FWIW, I'm not saying I use AMD kit exclusively. I'm fine with using NVIDIA hardware and CUDA when needed. In addition to the AMD based box I'm building for the lab at home, I'm also building a sister box which will be nearly identical, except using an NVIDIA GPU. I am an ideologue but I'm also at least a little bit pragmatic. :-)
