For years, a Python developer who needed a GPU had two realistic choices: Learn NVIDIA CUDA C++ well enough to write an extension, set up a build toolchain, and maintain bindings back to Python, which most people never did; or move up the stack and let someone else’s library do it, namely PyTorch, CuPy, or RAPIDS. The second option is why the Python GPU ecosystem thrives. But it has limits.
