Unverified50% confidenceFactExact time
The goal of the VKORE software layer that VIDRAFT is building is to become "the CUDA of the NPU field," covering three capabilities: inference acceleration, full pretraining, and LoRA fine-tuning; what is released this time is a publicly verified artifact of the pretraining milestone.

UnverifiedVIDRAFT is integrating the above capabilities into an NPU software layer called VKORE, and positions it by analogy to the ecosystem advantage Nvidia built through CUDA, describing it as "the CUDA of NPUs".77% similarUnverifiedVKORE aims to rebuild a CUDA-like abstraction layer on NPUs, providing a unified training and inference interface upward and adapting to different vendors' NPU instruction sets downward, so that data centers can swap accelerators like swapping storage or network cards without rewriting model code, thereby breaking single-vendor lock-in.77% similarUnverifiedcuDNN的卷积算法针对NVIDIA各代架构深度调优，在实际训练任务中往往比通用实现快数倍73% similarVerifiedCUDA is NVIDIA's proprietary platform, requiring explicit kernel function authoring; it has a steep learning curve but the greatest performance potential.72% similarVerifiedCUDA was released by NVIDIA in 2006 as a parallel programming framework originally designed for scientific computing, and has now become the de facto standard for AI training and inference.71% similar
