AMD is hard at work on improving its position in the booming AI market. Recently, AMD acquired ZT Systems in an effort to bolster its datacentre and AI efforts. Now, the company has launched a joint engineering partnership with Stability AI to create new models optimised for AMD hardware, improving performance by as much as 4.3x.
Amuse 3.0 is the first AI model to come out of this joint partnership. This AI model is AMD-optimised, so in conjunction with an upcoming driver, AMD users will be able to use this tool for Video diffusion, Video Restyle and over 100 new Stable Diffusion family image models. These are locally run AI tools, helpful for creators looking to speed up their workflow. With Amuse 3.0 and the new AMD driver, users can expect significant improvements of up to 4.3x using these tools locally on AMD hardware.
For those who don't know, Amuse is a Windows PC application that lets you generate, modify and draw images with AI support. It is free to download and supports AMD XDNA Super Resolution too. To take full advantage, you'll need AMD Driver version 24.30.31.05 or higher.
You can download Amuse AI for free, HERE.
KitGuru Says: Are any of you experimenting with running AI tools locally? What do you use it for? In my personal experience, I've found AI tools to be incredibly useful for quick transcripts, something that comes in handy when events like CES and Computex roll around. Speaking of Computex, this year's event is just around the corner, and we'll have plenty of coverage as always.
