Qualcomm is a notoriously closed source company.

Don't reward them with your support just because they are forced to open source something.

Qualcomm is changing a lot. They are learning and adopting open source. I’ve seen this in other Silicon vendors, they used to deal only with big corps and would talk to you only if you promised to buy millions of parts. Now they are all moving to a model where they want an open ecosystem , attract developers, promote open source. It’s changing , it’s not going to be perfect, there will be false steps but the direction is good and we all benefit from this change. As someone else said they are way ahead of NVIDIA in open source adoption so you should keep an eye on Qualcomm

Notoriously is a stretch if almost all of Linux ARM commits these days come from them

They are no better than Nvidia.

I do not see your point.

NVIDIA is way worse and QCOM are improving

I agree. Saying "Qualcomm is a notoriously closed source company." isn't really a point in the semiconductor space. They all are.

At least with Mojo that is open sourced and Nvidia's nvcc is still closed.

Did you mean “worse”?
