First off, massive thank you to the dev team for all the incredible work on Unsloth. It’s genuinely changing the game for local training.

I’ve been following the recent updates closely, and I saw a few comments from the team in some threads over the last month mentioning that native AMD integration for Unsloth Studio (specifically on Windows) was actively being worked on and potentially dropping soon.

I’m currently holding off on pulling the trigger on a new workstation build—specifically the Framework Desktop mainboard with the new Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and 128GB of unified memory. My dream setup is to run my entire pipeline (dataset prep, LoRA training, and GGUF export) natively on Windows 11 without having to constantly jump through WSL2 hoops, fight with Triton compiler errors, or deal with the currently fragmented Windows ROCm stack.

Since it's been a few weeks since those initial hints, I was just wondering if there is a revised ETA or a rough roadmap update for when that AMD support might go live? No pressure at all—I know you guys are building this out as fast as possible. I'm mainly just trying to time my hardware purchase so that the software is fully ready to take advantage of that massive unified VRAM pool the day I put it together.

Thanks again for everything you guys do for the community!

EDIT:

After some research, I've narrowed down the unsloth delay to this (potentially):

https://github.com/ROCm/TheRock

It's the official AMD ROCm Pytorch support CI/CD pipeline

The page shows very active development for windows 11. It currently seems like ROCm is stable, but tests are failing for python packages on top of this stack.

Once this gets ironed out, it represents a massive achievement for training on AMD hardware. As far as inference goes, it seems that AMD added native windows support for it in 7.2.1
