Is RocM only working on Linux for now? And if so, it is working alright inside of WSL?

The article mentions 48gb workflows. Presumably two cards attached? What does this look like in the AMD world, I'm used to what Nvidia offers

I think that's a reference to the AMD Radeon Pro W7900 which has 48gb vRAM

This is fantastic progress. I actually like Nvidia, but anything that levels the playing field and encourages competition here would be a big win.

ROCm? I hardly KNOWm!

I'm sorry, I know this is a dumb and off-topic comment more appropriate for Reddit, but I couldn't resist. If you check my comment history, you'll see I don't usually do this. Please forgive.

Meanwhile, on CUDA side, pick any NVidia card, not a couple of selected ones.

"AMD is determined to continue to make AI more accessible to developers and researchers that benefit from a local client-based setup for ML" it seems false. To me AMD is under investing in that regard for many years now.
