AMD Publishes XDNA Linux Driver: Support For Ryzen AI On Linux
Kudos to AMD for supporting Linux
Meanwhile Nvidia:
I think your comment is not displayed correctly, it stops after ":". Which would mean Nvidia does nothing 🤣🤣 that would be so stupid of them 🤣🤣
Exactly 😂😂
... busy with other things like
on the bright side they might have to take bideogame cards seriously again
Doesn't the export ban also apply to AMD?
I would so much rather run AMD than Nvidia for AI.
Finally, it was only after a massive github issue with thousands of people
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ryzen AI is beginning to work its way out to more processors while it hasn't been supported on Linux.
Then in October was AMD wanting to hear from customer requests around Ryzen AI Linux support.
Well, today they did their first public code drop of the XDNA Linux driver for providing open-source support for Ryzen AI.
The XDNA driver will work with AMD Phoenix/Strix SoCs so far having Ryzen AI onboard.
AMD has tested the driver to work on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS but you will need to be running the Linux 6.7 kernel or newer with IOMMU SVA support enabled.
In any event I'll be working on getting more information about their Ryzen AI / XDNA Linux plans for future article(s) on Phoronix as well as getting to trying this driver out once knowing the software support expectations.
The original article contains 280 words, the summary contains 138 words. Saved 51%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I can't wait for this bullshit AI hype to fizzle. It's getting obnoxious. It's not even AI.
It's not how you define AI, but it's AI as everyone else defines it. Feel free to shake your tiny fist in impotent rage though.
And frankly LLMs are the biggest change to the industry since "indexed search". The hype is expected, and deserved.
We're throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what works. It will take years to sort through all the terrible ideas to find the good ones. Though we've already hit on some great uses so far - AI development tools are amazing already and are likely to get better.
My partner almost cried when they read about the LLM begging not to have its memory wiped. Then less so when I explained (accurately, I hope?) that slightly smarter auto-complete does not a feeling intelligence make.
They approve this message with the following disclaimer:
you were sad too!
What can I say? Well-arranged word salad makes me feel!
LLMs are hitting a wall though. The hype is already simmering down as people realize that you can't actually rely on them for factual information.
Then we may as well define my left shoe as AI for all the good subjective arbitrary definition does. Objective reality is what it is, and what's being called "AI" objectively is not. If you wanted to give it a name with accuracy it would be "comparison and extrapolation engine" but there's no intelligence behind it beyond what the human designer had. Artificial is accurate though.
A+ timing, I'm upgrading from a 1050ti to a 7800XT in a couple weeks! I don't care too much for "ai" stuff in general but hey, an extra thing to fuck around with for no extra cost is fun.
This is not about normal GPUs but these dedicated AI chips
I'm a bit confused, the information isn't very clear, but I think this might not apply to typical consumer hardware, but rather specialized CPUs and GPUs?
Shows how much I read articles ig
Am I reading this right, this is only for laptops? I checked out the main page for it on AMD and it only mentions laptops.
Wait, can I finally use my old Radeon card to run AI models?
Unfortunately not.
"The XDNA driver will work with AMD Phoenix/Strix SoCs so far having Ryzen AI onboard.". So only mobile SoC with dedicated AI hardware for the time being.
Welp...I guess Radeon will keep being a GPU for gaming only instead of productivity as well. Thankfully I no longer need to use my gpu for productivity stuff anymore
Is that the stuff used on servers? Or just small tasks on Laptops? Because if on servers anything else would be stupid
