Alternative open standards/abstraction layer that can break monopoly.

OpenCL is not a thing anymore ?

It sucks. Rocm is the best alternative and theoretically can run cuda tasks but it's got a huge uphill battle in terms of documentation and industry adoption. It's gotta be better or significantly more cost effective to get people to switch, and right now its not cost effective enough to have people switch en masse. So the documentation and community will stay small.
