As it fucking should be, this is like the third time they have tried to redesign the chip to get around export restrictions

And yet all of the good, open source LLM work is coming out of China. But hey, maybe this will spur some ROCm development so AMD cards don't suck so fucking hard in that space.

AMD is also subject to export restrictions.

I liked your original comment before the edit, it's true. AMD only has consumer grade hardware, which is the main reason the majority of the AI projects don't support it. Code written for CUDA can work on a A100 just as well as a 3090, there's no money in developing software to run on someone's 4 year old gaming PC.

AMD makes a few Mi999 cards that support pytorch with ROCM and are subject to the export ban.

Not sure how I missed the MI250 series, but thanks.
