Despite this APU being deeply interesting to people who want to do local AI, anecdotally I hear that it’s hard to get models to run on it.

Why would AMD not have focused everything it possibly has on demonstrating and documenting and fixing and showing and smoothing the path for AI on their systems?

Why does AMD come across as so generally clueless when it comes to giving developers what they want, compared to Nvidia?

AMD should do whatever it takes to avoid these sort of situations:

Hardware companies are extremely bad at valuing software. The mystery isn't that AMD is bad at it, the mystery is that NVidia is good at it. They also have a probably 30-40 year head start. AMD is trying as much as they can, but changing culture takes time.
