I think what's going to happen is if I can finish... Okay. If you're trying to make an AI accelerator... You better have the capability of writing a torch-level performance stack on NVIDIA GPUs.
If you can't write a torch stack on NVIDIA GPUs, and I mean all the way, I mean down to the driver, there's no way you're going to be able to write it on your chip, because your chip's worse than an NVIDIA GPU. The first version of the chip you tape out, it's definitely worse.

Yes. And not only that, actually, the chip that you tape out, almost always because you're trying to get advantage over NVIDIA, you're specializing the hardware more. It's always harder to write software for more specialized hardware. Like a GPU is pretty generic. And if you can't write an NVIDIA stack, there's no way you can write a stack for your chip.

So my approach with TinyGrad is first, write a performant NVIDIA stack. We're targeting AMD.

Well, let's start with the fact that the 7900 XTX kernel drivers don't work. And if you run demo apps in loops, it panics the kernel.
