It's not my job to reformat the entire AI market.

I'm willing to try AMD, and I even built an AMD-based machine to experiment with AI workflows. So far it has been failing miserably. I don't care that MI300X is compelling when I can't make samples work both on my desktop and on a cloud-based MI300X. I don't care about their academic collaborations, I'm not in the business of producing papers.

I'll just pay for H100 in the cloud to be sure that I will be able to run the resulting models on my 3090 locally and/or deploy to 4090 clusters.

If AMD shows some sense, commits to long-term support for their hardware with reasonable feature-parity across multiple generations, I'll reconsider them.

And AMD has a history of doing that! Their CPU division is _excellent_, they are renowned for having long-term support for motherboard socket types. I remember being able to buy a motherboard and then not worrying about upgrading the CPU for the next 3-4 years.
