Setting up AI on a Windows machine can be tricky — juggling drivers, Python, frameworks, and dependencies often slows even the most experienced developers.
Not anymore. AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) is changing the game.
The chipmaker has just launched AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.1.1, which introduces the Adrenalin AI Bundle, an optional, streamlined installer that allows developers and creatives to start building and running local AI workloads on supported AMD Ryzen and Radeon processors and graphics cards.
Gone are the days of hunting for the right versions, manually configuring environments, or troubleshooting conflicts. With just a single click, the tech giant‘s AI Bundle sets up a complete local AI environment, letting users focus on what really matters: creativity and experimentation.
What’s in the AI Bundle?
The bundle comes preloaded with essential tools for AI development and creative workflows:
- PyTorch on Windows – Build and train models from scratch or run existing models for inference.
- ComfyUI – A visual workflow interface for image generation and multimodal outputs, accelerated by AMD’s ROCm PyTorch.
- Ollama – Run large language models (LLMs) locally for text generation, prototyping, and automation without relying on the cloud.
- LM Studio – Install and experiment with LLMs while easily tuning parameters for specific projects.
- Amuse – An AMD-optimized text-to-image generation application for creative workflows.
With these tools, users can run AI workloads locally, avoiding ongoing cloud costs while speeding up development and creative processes.
Who can benefit?
The AI Bundle is compatible with AMD Radeon RX 9000 and 7000 Series GPUs (RX 7700 or higher) and AMD Ryzen AI Max, AI 400, and AI 300 Series processors.
The benefits are clear:
- Time savings – skip the complicated setup and start building immediately.
- Creative flexibility – run text and image generation workflows locally.
- Cost efficiency – leverage your hardware instead of relying on cloud services.
Expanded support for hardware and games
The Adrenalin 26.1.1 release also adds support for the latest products of the chipmaker, including Ryzen AI 9 HX 475, 470, 465, Ryzen AI 7 450, 445, and Ryzen AI 5 435, 430.
Gamers aren’t left behind either: the new driver release includes support for Starsand Island and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora — From the Ashes Edition.
