What a shit article. Doesn't explain the software situation. While CUDA is the most popular, a lot of frameworks do support AMD chips.

Naji said the firm has also “developed the broadest ecosystem” of developers and software.

“And so it's just so much easier to … build an application, build an AI model on top of those chips,” he said.

It's literally the most surface level take. Does not even mention what CUDA is or AMD's efforts to run it

https://www.xda-developers.com/nvidia-cuda-amd-zluda/

But it is no longer funded by AMD or Intel

AMD GPUs are still supported by frameworks like PyTorch

https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/latest/install/3rd-party/pytorch-install.html

While Nvidia might be the fastest, they are not always the cheapest option, especially if you rent it in the cloud. When I last checked, it was cheaper to rent AMD GPUs
