AMD Has Open-Source Ryzen AI Demo Code - But Only For Windows

[stalkerg]

It's not fully open-source, even for windows - many libs are binary only. They basically open-source UI and API to the model.

This is how a story gets off to a bad start.
Providing this support would ensure seamless integration with the Linux ecosystem, promoting open interoperability and enabling users to maximize the potential of AMD's AI technologies. Embracing Linux would not only expand your user base but also foster a more inclusive and collaborative technological environment.

Not being jailed at Microsoft shouldn't even be a debate.

Dunno about anyone else, but I don't have 5.5 hours to burn on a random YouTube video.

[nospace-here]

Not sure why this is closed as there still is no Linux support.

Dunno about anyone else, but I don't have 5.5 hours to burn on a random YouTube video.

The video has timestamps with AMD issues split into roughly 4-minute sections which one can skip to.

But TL:DW: it won't happen, not even for proper Linux drivers

[stalkerg]

@andyluo7 can you reopen this ticket? Maybe change the title and etc. As I understand, it's a Xilinx device, and we already have a driver, but maybe we should extend it a little. I understand that this specific demo is designed for Windows, but we can create the same thing for Gwenview for example (from KDE Desktop).

Kindly suggest which is an appropriate option from below, which will help with buying a mini pc:

1. Linux will never be supported on 7040
2. Linux support for 7040 after 5.6.2 or maybe 5.6.X
3. Linux support with 8000 series

With AMD being the first to bring AI inference in consumer grade hardware, and a large amount of unknowns regarding the future of Windows (Windows 12 as a service? AI inference held on MS/OpenAI's servers?), it would be a great sign and an asset to PC ownership to support Ryzen AI on Linux to ensure access to AI in self-owned PCs with a free and open operating system.

btw, you can just add a thumb up emote on @quentonh's comment rather than all post empty +1 comments. It's cluttering the page very fast.

Would like to run this on my new AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS laptop!

I think the AMD APUs are an interesting inference solution in the embedded space too for workloads that can't be fully accelerated and still benefit from the powerful Zen Cores, or standard x64 environment to run certain commercial software. If newer Ryzen Embedded products come with Ryzen AI enabled it could be an alternative to the Tegra platform in some situations too, or as an upgrade from the Xilinx Kria + DPU solution when more CPU power is needed than what's available on the ZU.

Another voice for this. Even newer efforts like https://lmstudio.ai/ don't seem to support offload. They don't say if it's coming later or not at all either.

@nonnull-ca I wish AMD understood this better. At least for the consumer market they are too late to the party. CUDA is everywhere, and they should support ZLUDA, and defend it from nv as much as possible.

No CUDA is note everywhere: Not in goolge TPU, not on Intel, not on Qualcom, not on Mac ... Not on RiscV .. not on Xilinx , Not on the only true 1Exa Flops Calculator! An Not Opensource.

+1 Linux support is incredibly important.

I am concerned with the radio silence from AMD about this issue for such a long duration.

I am not a lawyer nor based in the US but I wonder if anyone here can figure out whether AMD+MS have a deal (with an NDA) to NOT provide support in Linux for competitive reasons and whether such a handshake is at least unfair to us Linux enthusiasts let alone legal.

With the new Strix APUs and all the hoopla about MS Copilot+PC laptops I wonder what is going on behind the scenes :-(

Looks like some great news...!!!

Check this out:

AMD should have been there from the beginning of the release of the 7000 series

This appears to be an Intel-only driver.

How do not support Linux ? It IS just necessary to promote AMD RyzenAI technologies...

[acwn1976]

Looks like the driver is coming to mainline kernel. Hopefully in 6.12. So you don't need to recompile your own one anymore. That's great news although I have to say that could have been quicker. Better late than never.

Would love to use the NPU as part of my ROS2 builds but would need Linux drivers and open source packages first. Please bring this to Linux!
