<p>At the risk of noting that this is a PR statement from someone who needs something from AMD - you do realize that you just shat upon the CTO of the largest possible consumer of a technology talking about that technology? It's not 2022 anymore.<p>Just pointing out, there is a reason the large LLMs keep working to try to make it so their own tools can't attack their own moats, by preventing the exact behavior that you dismiss above.</p>

<p>I have a DGX and a Ryzen AI Max 395 - while I love both of them, there are a few critical things that leave the DGX in use, while the Ryzen "just" is my primary homelab server. The biggest thing is prefil numbers, and the performance impact of  higher context sizes. Qwen 27b is a great model, nemotron is decent, gemma is workable. But all of them need reasonable context for reasonable outputs.<p>Unfortunitly, as others have noted, the DGX OS experience... sucks. My hope is that the RTX Spark (which looks to be the exact same stack, sans the high capacity network interface) will help this get a bit more attention, but nVidia's long long long war with the open source community is not helping. Focusing on mainlining kernel support would go a long way to getting the community to be supportive.<p>Of course, a massive regression just hit Linux 7+/7.1 plus for ROCm hosts, so it's just rough everywhere.</p>

<p>The market regulators don't give a fuck if companies screw over their customers privacy wise, as long as it's to the advantage of European companies and European customers.<p>This can lead to absolute insanity as companies try to satisfy both privacy and market conditions. It's not simple. How many years did google waste with Sandbox?</p>

<p>From personal, separate experience with Europe. It's quite common that the market watchdog and the privacy watchdogs are at odds with each other and make it impossible to achieve a solution that satisfies both of them.<p>Another example here is Google Chrome - which still allows third party cookies because even thought the privacy regulator wanted them gone, the market regulator required them to architect a solution that was unworkable to not take advantage of their gatekeeper advantages when others didn't have the same rights as them. Google finally said fuck it, and walked away from the privacy features in order to satisfy the anti-trust regulators.<p>Not shipping this feature in Europe is a common way to deal with satisfying the balkanized regulators there.</p>

<p>This isn't really true. AI laws in the EU mandate that Apple give full access to everythign on the device to third parties.<p>It's legit to be skeptical on the privacy front, but giving deepseek access to my entire phone. Or the TrumpAI at some point in a dystopian future seems... not great.</p>
