- AMD-optimized ONNX models available on Hugging Face for Ryzen™ AI APUs and Radeon™ GPUs.
- PyTorch for AMD on Windows and Linux is now in public preview, supporting Radeon™ RX 7000/9000 series GPUs and select Ryzen™ AI APUs.
- No dedicated AI infrastructure needed; a capable Windows PC with PyTorch and an AMD GPU suffices for LLM experimentation.
- Guide provided for setting up and running LLMs locally on Windows with AMD hardware, requiring no prior PyTorch experience.
- Supported hardware includes AMD Radeon™ AI PRO R9700, RX 7900 XTX, PRO W7900, and Ryzen™ AI Max series.
- OS requirement: Windows 11 with specific AMD Software and Python 3.12.
- Steps include creating a virtual environment, installing PyTorch for ROCm, and running a language model like Llama 3.2 1B.
- Interactive chatbot example provided, demonstrating conversation memory capabilities.
- Warning about 'Memory-Efficient Attention' in PyTorch is expected and does not affect functionality.
