HipKittens turns one: breaking AMD's 'CUDA moat' for a multi-silicon future
simran_s_arora · x · 2026-11-12
Celebrating one year of HipKittens, the team argues AI has been locked to a single vendor's stack: AMD GPUs now offer state-of-the-art peak compute and memory bandwidth, but the immature software ecosystem — the "CUDA moat" — keeps that power untapped. HipKittens aims to break it and enable a multi-silicon future.
