All of what you're saying is true and I can't argue that.
The only difference is that previously you couldn't even rent time on these super high end AIA's. They were reserved for supercomputers only. Even the MI250x sku is government/research only and even I am unable to buy that over the MI250.
So, we need to work on building that developer flywheel. My view is that if you can rent some time on one of these systems, that is a good first step. Nowhere else can you load a model into 192gb of RAM on a top end system.
