Disclaimer: I work on this stuff for Intel

At least for Intel, that is just not true. Intel's DPC++ is as open as it gets. It implements a Khronos standard (SYCL), most of the development is happening in public on GitHub, it's permissively licensed, it has a viable backend infrastructure (with implementations for both CUDA and HIP). There's also now a UXL foundation with the goal of creating an "open standard accelerator software ecosystem".

This is all great, but how can we trust this will be supported next year? After Xeon Phi, Omnipath, and a host of other killed projects, Intel is approaching Google levels of mean time to deprecation.

Neat. Now release 48gb GPUs to the hobbyist devs and we’ll use intel for LLMs!

Apple is your savior if you are looking at it as a CPU/GPU/NPU package for consumer/hobbyists.

I decided that I have to start looking at Apple's AI docs
