If they get things like PyTorch to work well without carinng what hardware it is running on, it erodes Nvidia's CUDA moat. Nvidia's chips are excellent, without doubt, but their real moat is the ecosystem around CUDA.

PyTorch is only part of it. There is still a huge amount of CUDA that isn’t just wrapped by PyTorch and isn’t easily portable.
