I tried getting LLMs to add proper Vulkan support to ik_llama.cpp, which have very good support for CUDA and CPU. The models do an admirable job; they don't care much about poor DX.
Few problems I noticed:
* coopmat2 from nvidia is the classic embrace, extend, extinguish. No point to ask the models to translate from CUDA to coopmat2. Instead, the models can understand the existing CUDA and CPU kernels, and adapt them accordingly to non-nvidia devices.
* However, the standard API is also lacking. The models struggled to make prompt processing compute-bound on strix halo when the graph is complex. Upfront standard API might just be an evolution dead end.
coopmat2 can be implemented by anybody non-nvidia. It's not EEE when the regular coopmat extension is not good enough to get good performance
