As another commenter said, it's CUDA. Intel and AMD and whoever can turn out chips reasonably fast, but nobody gets that it's the software and ecosystem. You have to out-compete the ecosystem. You can pick up a used Mi100 that performs almost like an A100 for 5x less money on eBay for example. Why is it 5x less? Because the software incompatibilities mean you'll spend a ton of time getting it to work compared to an Nvidia GPU.
Google is barely limping along with it's XLA interface to pytorch providing researchers a decent compatibility path. Same with Intel.
Any company in this space should basically setup a giant test suite of IDK, every model on hugging face and just start brute force fixing the issues. Then maybe they can sell some chips!
Intel is basically doing the same shit they always do here, announcing some open initiative and then doing literally the bare minimum to support it. 99% chance openvino goes nowhere. OpenAIs Triton already seems more popular, at least I've heard it referenced a lot more than openvino.
