PyTorch did recently release AMD support which I was happy to see (though I have not tested it), I’m hoping there is more to come.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;pytorch.org&amp;#x2F;blog&amp;#x2F;pytorch-for-amd-rocm-platform-now-available-as-python-package&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;pytorch.org&amp;#x2F;blog&amp;#x2F;pytorch-for-amd-rocm-platform-now-a...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
