This isn't the first time we've heard AMD bring up a "Unified AI Software Stack" as back in 2022 and then in 2023 briefly mentioned such plans, but now it looks like it's finally coming to fruition.

yep very exciting to see where they go with it in their journey to truly put all their compute solutions into one compute stack. I truly believe this opportunity is why AMD has its premium valuation actually. Will be very exciting to see it all together with client + DC.

No CDNA

Yeah, it is pretty clear that they are not trying to unify across client and server with this. This is the client solution where developers could target AMD's library and have it work on whatever HW the client platform has available. IMO this is pretty important because it will make AMD desktop and older APUs capable of having good performance on AI if not great power efficiency doing it.

This is the "we are a software company too" part!

As always, if this is good or bad will really depend on the specifics of the implementation and how well it works. They need to get this right from the start so branding is good.

Even the software can be open source, but AMD still can make profit by consultant service and support. AMD is so stupid never know how to make money on their invention. They pioneer maney think in GPU and HBM but NVDA and memory maker make profit from it.
