Core Viewpoint - Microsoft is taking steps to break NVIDIA's dominance in the AI software ecosystem by developing a specialized toolkit that enables code compatibility across different GPU platforms [1][3]. Group 1: NVIDIA's Dominance - NVIDIA has established a strong software ecosystem barrier in the AI field through its CUDA platform, which many AI model codes are based on [3]. - This reliance on CUDA has limited the development of other GPU platforms, particularly affecting AMD's ROCm platform due to compatibility issues [3]. Group 2: Microsoft's Toolkit - Microsoft has developed a specialized toolkit (name not disclosed) that can automatically convert AI model codes written for NVIDIA's CUDA to versions compatible with AMD's ROCm platform [3]. - This toolkit is expected to significantly expand the application range of AI models and hardware choices, allowing models that previously ran only on NVIDIA GPUs to operate on AMD hardware [3].
