alt Hacker NewsWhat I don't quite get is why can't they use AI to translate CUDA programs into more open architectures like AMD ROCm?
AI is supposed have solved the "coding problem". But shouldn't translating a program from one platform to another be an even easier, more mechanical, task for the AI?

Undoubtedly, the frontier labs are already doing something akin to this as part of their new chip design endeavors.

Which AI? LLMs are coding facilitators and code producers.
A problem is solved when the solution is reliable. Non-deterministic Neural Networks are not reliable. In fact,

that suggests an expectation of process and procedure, which is still not a capability of current architectures.
Sure, you can ask a brains-deficient operator to perform a huge task, but then you'll have to check the whole product, and that remains not cheap.
