AMD and Microsoft present AI Developer Tools for Ryzen 7040 processors

AMD introduced the Ryzen 7040 series as "the vanguard of a new generation of silicon" superior to other, more conventional x86 processors in terms of handling AI-specific workloads thanks to tweaks such as their Ryzen AI NPUs. Accordingly, the chips are touted to help build compact, ultra-portable devices capable of the most "cutting-edge" features out there.

They apparently include Windows Studio Effects such as Eye Contact (in which one's gaze is auto-corrected for direction at a screen rather than a camera), Automatic Framing and background blur in conferences and video-calls.

Now, developers who want to put the 7040 series' "sophisticated" hardware-based potential to other uses can do so for the first time with a preview of AMD's Developer Tools for Ryzen AI. They confer the ability to run workloads on the open-source Vitis AI Execution Provider framework via ONNX Runtime (with Microsoft Olive support) with XDNA AI Engine acceleration.

Interested developers with a machine based on Ryzen 7040HS (thus far) processors can get started by visting the Ryzen AI Cloud to Client Demo Github from now.
