AMD launches Ryzen AI 1.0 version: helping users accelerate the construction and deployment of AI models

AMD announced today that it will launch the Ryzen 8050 APU codenamed Strix Point in 2024, equipped with the XDNA 2 engine, with a focus on improving its ability to handle AI tasks.

According to AMD's official press release, AMD has also launched a Ryzen AI software today, claiming to help users easily build and deploy machine learning models on AI PCs.

Ryzen AI version 1.0 supports the ONNX runtime application. AMD claims that the official has provided a pre optimized model repository on the Hugging Face platform, which claims to allow users to start and run AI models within minutes.

In terms of specific functions and applications, Ryzen AI 1.0 version provides full process support including model training, inference, and deployment. This means that users can use Ryzen AI 1.0 to complete all the steps from data preprocessing to model deployment in a short amount of time. In addition, Ryzen AI 1.0 version also has excellent scalability and can be customized according to the specific needs of users, meeting the needs of projects of various sizes and complexities.

In addition, the official emphasized that laptops equipped with Ryzen AI can unload AI models to NPUs, thereby freeing up CPU, reducing power consumption, and extending battery life. They can also build various AI applications with auxiliary functions:

At the same time as the launch of Ryzen AI software, developers can use Ryzen AI to build AI applications with advanced gesture recognition, biometric authentication, and other auxiliary functions.

Developers can also obtain support for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models (such as Whisper) and Large Language Models (LLM) (such as OPT and Llama-2) in advance to build their application's natural language speech interface and unlock other natural language processing features such as document summarization and email assistance.

Overall, the release of AMD Ryzen AI 1.0 will undoubtedly bring a revolution to the AI field. With its powerful computing power and efficient deployment plan, Ryzen AI 1.0 version is expected to help users achieve a qualitative leap on the path of AI development. We look forward to seeing AMD's future development in the field of AI, and believe that Ryzen AI will continue to lead the new trend of AI technology.
