Tweakers just did some AI benchmarks for these cards https://tweakers.net/reviews/13150/ai-op-amd-en-nvidia-videokaarten-taalmodellen-upscaling-en-imagegeneration.html (you’ll need to translate it in your browser). The extra mem helps you fit bigger models, but performance is better for nvidia pretty much across the board.

Use plotnine if you want a ggplot-like API. Matplotlib is too low level for most stuff so it needs an abstraction layer such as plotnine or seaborn. Also, I understand the original devs desire to copy Matlab plotting standards, but that language is so bad.

They already lost before the US joined.
