alt Hacker NewsThat’s insane. There should be a big team of people at AMD whose whole job is just to dogfood their stuff for training like this. Speaking of which, Amazon is in the same boat, I’m constantly surprised that Amazon is not treating improving Inferentia/Trainium software as an uber-priority. (I work at Amazon)

if they had this management attitude, they wouldn't have been so far behind so as to need this action in the first place!
Hardware companies being terrible at software is the norm. Nvidia is one of the rare companies that can successfully execute both.
Maybe Amazon is an example how this happens even to hardware divisions within software/logistics companies
I mean the fact there isn’t even today may speak to why AMD isn’t the contender it should be by this point.
Where's the scope for an L7 promo in "Fixed a bunch of tiny issues that were making it hard to use Tranium/Inferentia with PyTorch"?
Amazon's compensation strategy, in which you primarily get a raise years in the future for tricking your management chain into promoting you is definitely bearing its rotten fruit.
