ISTR that char-rnn and word-rnn can be accelerated using Cuda. The more widely-talked-about GPT-2 uses lots and lots of GPUs on the back end. The only problem is that most of the neural network stuff I've looked at requires software that's not in your distro's package repositories, is horribly hacked together, (word-rnn has a Cuda dependency hard-coded), and has limited documentation.

Re: What can I do with Cuda?
AFAIK the only thing that cuda does is simplify parallel programing of the GPU(s). What you do with the parallel processes is up to you.
