> "AMD has ROCm but you can't use it on consumer cards, so I'm going to write my own software stack that works with AMD's consumer grade GPUs". He raised $5.1m on that promise.

Having not followed this, I don't understand what the promise was. ROCm works just fine on at least some consumer cards like the 6xxx, and by fine I mean "as bad as on AMD's pro cards", but at least it works out of the box.

Certainly it's not supported, and so therefore they are not shipping precompiled binaries, but it does seem to work...
