But strix halo boxes themselves are available, just not that one. And despite my concerns about what's said about Cuda and ROCm I have never had a problem running any model, for image or text or voice, the community has done great work in making things work. So the point of the question stands.

It's also interesting that the most high end Chinese equipment, both prosumer things like these boxes but also the Huawei professional stack is just not available in the places it would be most appreciated. Not sure if thats china tit for tat, or western "we don't want your commie hardware anyways"

But for a lot of people it sucks cause nobody should be paying 4.2k for this product. The value isn't there.

There is a whole world of other tooling and stuff that isn't just for hobbyists to run inference with ML models, but also how to do profiling, debugging and gathering data when you run distributed workloads, and so on. The nsight toolkit seems miles ahead of the competition on other platforms, as just one example.
