PyTorch Monarch comes to AMD GPUs
PyTorch is launching support for Monarch, its distributed training framework, on AMD GPUs via ROCm. This makes it possible to run single-controller distributed training on AMD hardware, which was previously only available for NVIDIA.
WHY IT MATTERS
AMD GPUs are becoming increasingly important for AI training, and this expansion reduces dependence on NVIDIA by making the PyTorch ecosystem more portable. It opens up cheaper and more diversified GPU infrastructure.
