Previous discussion 22 days ago: AMD funded a drop-in CUDA implementation built on ROCm: It's now open-source [0], 400 comments.

Noteworthy top comment in that thread:

> This event of release is however a result of AMD stopped funding it per "After two years of development and some deliberation, AMD decided that there is no business case for running CUDA applications on AMD GPUs. One of the terms of my contract with AMD was that if AMD did not find it fit for further development, I could release it. Which brings us to today." from https://github.com/vosen/ZLUDA?tab=readme-ov-file#faq
