Kraid is a now a real compiler

I'm very confused as to what Kraid actually does and who it's for. It's a compiler of some sort, but for what? GLSL? What's significant about it beyond the target backends?

		Kraid is the shader compiler for Panfrost, the Mesa driver for Arm Mali GPUs: https://docs.mesa3d.org/drivers/panfrost.html

What devices are likely to benefit from Kraid? Are Arm Mali GPUs mostly in Android phones?

Next step is obviously to build Ridley

800,000 test??? wow So if I can use Kriad, does that mean I can build AI without having to use NVIDIA chips

		You already can with AMD/Intel gpus. Kraid is a compiler for Arm Mali which is mostly used on mobile stuff, nothing AI related.
