Has anyone ever heard of companies actually using Ponte Vecchio?<p>Benchmarks are excellent... but every git project I have read is trained on a Nvidia x100 cluster. And there were maybe 2 repositories than mentioned ROCm/CDNA on a single line in passing.<p>I cant recall ever seeing a cloud instance with it.<p>OpenVINO is also stupidly easy to use in PyTorch. Stable Diffusion (for instance) works with a single import and changing the device from "gpu" to "xpu." This is not my experience with other accelerators.<p>But alas if researchers cant peel themselves away from Nvidia, maybe Intel is smart to drop it and focus on something they can push as a CPU host, which might actually get researchers to use it.
