In reference to an interview of Pakistan's Defence Minister on Sky. If a country's own minister speaks of harboring terrorists, I think that is evidence enough.
Wonder what "great promise" entails. Because it's hard to imagine Gemini and other transformer-based models solving these problems with reasonable accuracy, as there is no elimination of hallucination. At least in the generally available products.
Else, it evokes the sentiment of riskynacho on the comment, "It's almost like DuckDuckGo wants to eliminate itself from being a safe useful alternative in the search engine competition."
Workarounds such as DirectML claim to be the answer in unifying people with NVIDIA or AMD GPUs, but thus far it hasn't, with issues such as [this](https://github.com/microsoft/DirectML/issues/58) constantly popping up.
As nicolaslem points out, Arch does have community packages for ROCm, but that, unsurprisingly fails to lend support to many consumer GPUs. The best community support I have come across are [rocm-opencl](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mystro256/rocm-openc... [rocm-hip](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mystro256/rocm-hip/) for Fedora maintained by [mystro256](https://github.com/Mystro256), who is a single AMD employee.Thanks to him, my AMD GPU (Radeon 6800XT) hasn't completely gone to waste, and I was able to tinker with some things (Gaming isn't really up my alley).
Lately however, after beginning to work on DGX V100s and A100s, and using my older laptop with a GTX 1650, it was apparent how simple setting up CUDA was, and how easily I could experiment with it on my consumer card. Many have spoken about similar stories, and here's mine. Really hope AMD does a whole lot more, and doesn't exclusively keep their powerful GPUs for gaming.
