    depending entirely on ONE (quite violent at that) country for the world’s compute is insane in the first place. i’m not well read into the decade long chinese effort to make these chips, but i’m rooting for at least some modest success.

    from a quick search it seems their previous iteration, the MTT S90 already supports all modern apis and is already comparable to mid-range nvidia/amd chips from a few gens ago.

    which is impressive and it’d probably already cover most usecases, but it seems to be of limited production/availability so far.

    I am interested in the state of the Linux drivers for their graphics cards. Are they open or closed? Is it possible to update the kernel and continue using their driver, or do I have to wait for a new version from the manufacturer for a new kernel version every time(if it closed source)?

    I usually used AMD GPU all the time because of the open source driver and the convenience associated with it. Maybe someone knows something about it.

      I’d expect they will be Linux friendly just because there’s a big push towards using Linux in China now since they want to decouple from western proprietary tech. I guess we’ll have to wait to see once they become generally available though.
