Smart move from AMD. Helps develop an ecosystem around their tech and for their GPUs.

Has anyone tried it? I mean, I would, but as far as I can tell understand I need 4 boxes with 4 GPU's. Plus an interconnect. I mean, I could put in an order for my homelab but at around $80k per box and maybe $20k for the right switches and some other gear, my wife will probably frown at me ordering a $340,000 rig to try this code that I don't know what to do with it if it works.

Maybe some other heavy hitter out there can explain what all this whatchamacallit newfangled synergy producing matrix algebra does after you have it running?

> that I don't know what to do with it if it works.

After you get it up and running you can just ask it what to do with it.

Hope it tells you to buy more AMD HW because that would be so funny.

Seems kinda obvious this isn't targeted at hobbyists, but more towards SMEs and AI startups that want to build their own language models from scratch or experiment with the tech.

Something like this would help small teams build an initial POC and do some experimentation.

You have similar issues with robotics projects. It's very expensive for a hobbyist because of the hardware costs, but there's large number of small companies who benefit from open source tech to get their projects started.
