Nvidia’s AI chip dominance is being targeted by Google, Intel, and Arm
The goal is to prevent AI devs from being locked into using CUDA.
The group, called The Unified Acceleration Foundation (UXL), told Reuters that technical details for the project should reach a “mature” state by the second half of this year, though a final release target wasn’t given. While UXL says the project will initially aim to open up options for AI apps and high-performance computing applications, the group plans to eventually support Nvidia’s hardware and code, too. Microsoft, which is notably not included in the UXL coalition, was rumored to have teamed up with AMD last year to develop alternative AI chips that could challenge Nvidia’s effective monopoly over the industry.
