    Can someone please explain like I’m five what the meaning and impact of this will be? Past posts and comments don’t seem to be very clear. As someone who uses both Linux and macOS professionally for design, this could be a massive game changer for me.

      If you already have a cuda workflow and want to use an AMD card, you can do that with this library.

        That includes stuff like Stable Diffusion that recommended nvidia cards because it uses CUDA to accelerate image generation?

        So does it work with off the shelf software or is it something the developer has the patch in?

          The point of a drop-in replacement is that no patching is required but in reality the software was released in incomplete form.

        ok, I get that much. what I’d like to know, if you’re willing to explain: what’s it going to be like deploying that on, say, a Mac workstation? a pop_os workstation? (edit: such as: how, can I on macOS, will I work with after effects, etc.)

        thanks for your time
