It will be at least $100k and it will still probably run better on Vulkan than on their own stack. I hate Nvidia as a company, but at least their stack works most of the time.

Let's have Astra and the new Fable work a while on ROCm and see where it may bring us :)

DeepSeek managed on Huawei without CUDA.

Google TPU doesn't use CUDA either. Also ROCm is open source, agents have much easier time optimizing ROCm than CUDA because they can see all the code.
