It's not only AMD that is working on Vulkan/SPIR-V support for machine learning / AI software but NVIDIA has been working on improvements too for enhancing Vulkan-powered machine learning software

The outlook for using Vulkan within machine learning software is quite positive and even able to offer similar performance to NVIDIA's prized CUDA. At the Vulkanised 2025 conference last month in Cambridge (UK), Jeff Bolz of NVIDIA presented on Vulkan machine learning and the work they've been engaged on particularly around the VK_NV_cooperative_matrix2 extension. Those interested can find the NVIDIA Vulkan AI presentation embedded above as well as the PDF slide deck for all the details on this great Vulkanised 2025 session by Jeff Bolz.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
