as long as it’s their hardware

This is the problem for me. AMD exist, Mac exists, Intel exists, and they rely on llama.cpp which now has the devs getting their paychecks from Nvidia... They'll just "direct primary focus" onto cuda development and oops we didn't touch SYCL support for 8 months... Whoopsiedoodle.

I literally just bought a b70... Fucking Nvidia...

Yes I know its open source, but the devs currently have a decent pace with updates. Relying on unpaid devs to care about SYLC when most people don't run it anyway is probably worse than relying on Nvidia paid devs to eventually get to it :/
