They’re kinda already there :(. Maybe even worse than raspberry pies.

Intel has all but said they’re exiting the training/research market.

AMD has great hardware, but the MI300X is not gaining traction due to a lack of “grassroots” software support, and they were too stupid to undercut Nvidia and sell high vram 7900s to devs, or to even prioritize its support in rocm. Same with their APUs. For all the marketing, they just didn’t prioritize getting them runnable with LLM software
