Shortly after Intel announced its AI Playground, AMD made a similar announcement.

This is the first release of the software, which is clearly labeled as Beta and in an experimental state. It may not perform as expected, but according to AMDs blog post, it should already provide a lot of fun for users. However, the user base will be limited to Ryzen and Radeon users.

The Amuse 2.0 software, developed with TensorStack, is designed to be simple to use, without the need to download a lot of external dependencies, use command lines, or run anything other than a single one-click executable. Compared to Intels AI Playground, the Amuse software does not support running chatbots based on Large Language Models. Currently, Amuse is only for generative AI for images (for now?)

According to AMD, Amuse uses Stable Diffusion models (open-weight models). The software will support AMD Ryzen AI 300 (recently launched Strix Point laptops), AMD Ryzen 8040 (Hawk Point), and Radeon RX 7000 series. The list is rather short, and its unclear why Radeon RX 6000 and below are excluded and why Ryzen 7040 (Phoenix), featuring nearly identical specs to Hawk Point, is not included either. However, it is assumed this will change in the future.

AMD recommends 24GB of RAM or higher for Ryzen AI 300 and 32GB of RAM for Ryzen 8040. Theres no memory requirement listed for Radeon RX 7000 GPUs.

Amuse 2.0 features

It is worth noting that the tool supports something called XDNA Super Resolution, a special mode that is supposed to upscale images by a factor of 2. Here is a full list of supported features.
