Are closer to the metal AI developers an under tracked bottle neck? AMD and Intel can barely get off the ground due to lagging software developers.

This is where I want to work. But I feel like an AI swe is more likely to go "down" than an AI company is likely to hire me, a guy who loves optimizing pipelines for parallelism.
Metal is an Apple thing, not Intel or AMD. (And Ollama supports that.)
"Close to the metal" is an expression.
Also the name of AMD’s (well ATI) previous attempt at a CUDA alternative ;)
I assume they mean closer to the figurative metal, not literal Metal.
