Apple introduces M4 chip

AMD doesn’t really seem inclined toward building developer ecosystems in general.

Intel seems like they could have some interesting stuff in the annoyingly named “OneAPI” suite but I ran it on my iGPU so I have no idea if it is actually good. It was easy to use, though!

There are quite a few back and forth X/Twitter storms in teacups between George Hotz / tinygrad and the AMD management about opening up the firmware for custom ML integrations to replace CUDA but last I checked they were running into walls

I don't understand why you would need custom firmware. It seems like you could go a long way just implementing back-ends for popular ML libraries in openCL / compute shaders
