  • Build an MRI Analysis Agent with AMD Blueprints

    Build and deploy an AI-powered MRI analysis agent in minutes using the AMD mri-doc Solution Blueprint. Run a Gradio-based pipeline that accepts DICOM, NIfTI, and standard image formats, applies tissue segmentation and anomaly detection, and generates LLM-drafted clinical reports on AMD Instinct GPUs. Then customize: swap the LLM AIM, reuse an existing model endpoint, or extend the pipeline for your specific clinical workflow.;Build and deploy an AI-powered MRI analysis agent in minutes using the AMD mri-doc Solution Blueprint.

  • Lessons Learned Training ZAYA1-74B End-to-End on AMD

    ZAYA1-74B is a 74B-parameter MoE (4B active) pretrained and post-trained end-to-end on AMD MI300X. We share what it took: a co-designed stack with CCA attention, expert-context-parallel folding, and sliding-window layers that halve KV cache, plus an RL pipeline that sharpens math and code and hardens multi-turn agentic tool use. The result is a competitive long-context, Apache 2.0 model, proving the full train-to-RL loop runs effectively on AMD.;ZAYA1-74B is a 74B-parameter MoE (4B active) pretrained and post-trained end-to-end on AMD MI300X.
