    “AMD decided this year to discontinue funding the effort and not release it as any software product”.

    So AMD decided that it wasn’t worthwhile and so the developer released it on his own. AMDs decisions are just baffling. You still can’t even install Pytorch for rocm on Windows.

      AMD may have done this to avoid legal entanglements. It allows the solution to exist without a full endorsement from AMD and also lets the open source community drive it to where it needs to be as far as features and functionality.

        my thoughts too - now I really hope this project has a future in the open source env and it’s not just an ambitious endeavor
