AMD launches AI creation tool Amuse 2.0
Recently, AMD announced on its official community blog the launch of Amuse 2.0 Beta. This application, developed in collaboration with New Zealand-based AI enterprise Tensor Stack, aims to provide users with a more accessible and user-friendly AI image generation experience on AMD platform PCs.
AMD states that Amuse 2.0.0 is an easy-to-install program that requires no additional dependency packages. It features an interface called “Ez Mode,” where users can quickly complete all necessary configurations. Furthermore, Amuse 2.0 introduces the AMD XDNA Super Resolution solution, which doubles the output size at the end of the image generation process. For example, if you generate an image with a resolution of 512 x 512, AMD XDNA will upscale it to 1024 x 1024.
In summary, Amuse 2.0.0 Beta boasts the following key features:
- No command line needed
- Simple and easy to use
- AMD XDNA™ Super Resolution
- Single executable
- No dependencies
- Auto configuration and model selection
- Paint to Image
- Drawing to Image
- Create your own AI filters
- Multi-stage, ONNX based pipeline (Stable Diffusion, Control Nets, Feature Extractors)
The recommended configuration for Amuse 2.0.0 Beta includes Ryzen AI 300 series processors with 24GB or more memory, Ryzen 8040 series processors with 32GB memory (with the latest updates for MCDM and NPU drivers required for AMD XDNA Super Resolution), and RX 7000 series graphics cards. It is important to note that, as of now, only the Ryzen AI 300 series and the updated Ryzen 8000 series support AMD XDNA Super Resolution.
Interested users with compatible hardware can download and experience Amuse 2.0.0 Beta through this link.
Additionally, it is worth mentioning that earlier, Intel launched a similar AI application called AI Playground. Based on Intel’s proprietary OpenVINO, it includes AI for image generation, enhancement, and processing, along with an integrated large language model chatbot.
