I'm pleased to announce that starting on March 10th, 2025, my volunteer work will become my full-time job. I am moving into a new role at AMD that has been created specifically to facilitate the integration of AMD GPU compute support into the Debian and Ubuntu operating systems. My long-term goal is to bring the out-of-the-box support for AMD GPU hardware on Debian up to the level that I can recommend it to any user, from consumers buying a low-end AMD Radeon RX 7600 GPU for their workstation, to enterprises purchasing AMD Instinct MI325X GPU servers. However, if I am being realistic, it will take both significant time and further investments from AMD to reach that level of maturity. Excited to hear that AMD is investigating resources into ROCm consistently! I’m drafting a release plan for ROCm 6.3.2 [1], please let me know anything missing or should be revised. My initial goal will be to get the ROCm packages in Debian updated from ROCm 5.7 to ROCm 6.3 and to prepare a pytorch-rocm package. So should we skip the 6.1.2 release and directly work on 6.3.2, in consideration of the Trixie freeze?
