This won't happen but I would so love it if Nvdia was really brought to its knees and utterly dissolved. they so deserve it.
Nvidia is the only company making money off the AI blitz. This is a huge win for them, and they're making money hand over fist. There is so little competition on the hardware side, and the software support for competitor's products is weak in comparison, that they can charge basically whatever they want for their products.
The thing is that the frameworks for running things on competitors' GPUs are actually fine (rocm and oneapi), the GPUs are price competitive or better as well. It's just that CUDA/NVidia is the standard, and no one wants to learn a new language just to make something that most people aren't going to be able to use. Very few people want to put in the effort to make something work across platforms.
There are some nice frameworks for general purpose GPU computing but it seems like they all have limitations of one type or another.
My hope is that the market crashes and there are SO MANY used chips out there that they can't sell more
They just deserve to have CUDA published as a spec so others can compete.
