~~It certainly does.~~

~~Until last week, you absolutely NEEDED an NVidia GPU equipped with CUDA to run all AI models.~~

~~Today, that is simply not true. (watch the video at the end of this comment)~~

~~I watched this video and my initial reaction to this news was validated and then some: this video made me even more bearish on NVDA.~~

Edit: corrected and redacted.

mate, that means they are using PTX directly. If anything, they are more dependent to NVIDIA and the CUDA platform than anyone else.

to simplify: they are bypassing the CUDA API, not the NVIDIA instruction set architecture and not CUDA as a platform.
