Well, this specific solution was only set up on specific hardware, and is Nvidia dependent, as the readme stares.

That doesn’t mean the 9070XT can’t do AI stuff, quite the opposite. ROCm gets better all the time. There are many AI workloads you can do on AMD cards.

Is it a card I would choose if I was primarily working on AI? Absolutely not. But it is the card I own and it’s been a great value for gaming.

Unfortunately AMD is much worse with supporting AI features like FSR4 on older hardware generations, despite the capability and leaked INT8 models being there. Totally unlike NVIDIA.

It’s absurd I have to use open source programs to get INT8 FSR4 support.
