Vulkan already has some standard compute functionality. Not sure if it's low level enough to be able to e.g. recompile and run CUDA kernels, but I think if people were looking for a vendor-neutral standard to build GPGPU compute features on top of, I mean, that seems to be the obvious modern choice.

There is already a work-in-progress implementation of HIP on top of OpenCL https://github.com/CHIP-SPV/chipStar and the Mesa RustiCL folks are quite interested in getting that to run on top of Vulkan.

(To be clear, HIP is about converting CUDA source code not running CUDA-compiled binaries but the Zluda project discussed in OP heavily relies on it.)
