I’d love to see this succeed, because I own a 7900 XTX already, but there’s so much already built on top of PyTorch. Why would anyone port it all to tinygrad or whatever? Bummer.
In theory pytorch compiler can boil down to 50 or so fundamental functions and tinygrad IR to 12. So possibly you could just re-map a fairly limited set of base instructions. Devil’s in the details though..
people already ported a lot of stuff from pytorch to jax.
if you're a research scientist or grad student, to a certain extent a lot of projects are "greenfield" so it's easy to jump on a new framework if it is nice to use and offers some advantage.
