CUDA is the incumbent, but is it any good? (modular.com)
Answering the question of whether CUDA is “good” is much trickier than it sounds. Are we talking about its raw performance? Its feature set? Perhaps its broader implications in the world of AI development? Whether CUDA is “good” depends on who you ask and what they need. In this post, we’ll evaluate CUDA from the perspective of the people who use it day-in and day-out—those who work in the GenAI ecosystem:

Explainer: What's r1 and everything else? (timkellogg.me)
Is AI making you dizzy? A lot of industry insiders are feeling the same. R1 just came out a few days ago out of nowhere, and then there’s o1 and o3, but no o2. Gosh! It’s hard to know what’s going on. This post aims to be a guide for recent AI develoments. It’s written for people who feel like they should know what’s going on, but don’t, because it’s insane out there.
