It’s the taxi app wars all over. Yes Claude is great. But how many people are going pay once the subsidies are over?
Like uber I believe current pricing is heavily subsidized by capital investment. The investors likely believe the bot with the users is a winner.
The real winner will be the good enough bot with customer hardware and scale to run it cheaply. There’s exactly one current contender as far as I know with both.
C isn't really the protocol though, its just a way every language has of exporting simple symbols. Otherwise how else does this work, you'd never every language to understand every other languages symbol name encoding scheme, some of which are complete jibberish (I'm looking hard your way C++).
The real protocol in action here is symbolic linking and hardware call ABIs.
You could always directly call Rust functions, but you'd have to know where to symbolically look for them and how to craft its parameters for example.
If this is well defined then its possible. If its poorly defined or implementation specific (c++) then yeah its a shit show that is not solvable.
I which no one cares about. As a 1% player having a convoluted C++ centric stack when the 99% player has something different e ouch porting requires critical thinking means no one gives a damn about it.
ZLUDA has more interest that SyCL and that should say it all right there.
Intel focused on SyCL which not many people seem to actually care about. It looks far enough removed from CUDA you’d have to think hard about porting things as well. From what I understand ROCm looks very close to CUDA.
It's bad it really is, I got fed up and rolled back to windows 10 when I tried downloading a file and the whole UI locked up until the file finished. On my own personal high performance desktop with tons of memory, cpus, etc etc. Never saw this in Windows 10. Certainly never saw it in modern Linux.
