Jensen's biggest nightmare
We are past the CUDA moat days. Anthropic says Claude can bootstrap @amd Instinct + ROCm. @NotTomBrown: "I think the thing that we were thinking about originally was whenever we're bringing up a new hardware platform, it's a big effort. It's like a huge thing. And so as we were thinking about this, we started doing our own evaluation of MI 355. You guys generously got us a rack to start working. And we expected this to be kind of a big process. Our actual experience was we had one engineer who start doing it. They spun up Claude, asked it, hey, bring up this machine, left it going over the weekend. And we ended up with a graph of the actual performance of our leading model on it, just going up and up and up over the weekend."
