Having lagged behind the competition in AI, AMD has taken a bold step toward regaining its position. With the launch of the free Amuse 2.0 tool, AMD allows ordinary users to harness the power of AI to generate the highest quality artistic images.
AMD enters the race hard: Amuse 2.0 puts the power of artificial intelligence in your hands to create images and without the Internet
AMD has significantly lagged behind NVIDIA in integrating artificial intelligence into its processors and graphics cards. The company aims to address this issue with its new generation of hardware and through its proprietary software like Amuse 2.0, a free tool that allows the creation of images using AI with professional quality.
Most AI image generation systems, like Dall-e or Stable Diffusion, require complex text prompts and offer limited customization options. Therefore, AMD has partnered with New Zealand-based AI company TensorStack to develop Amuse 2.0. This free tool utilizes Stable Diffusion, one of the most powerful AI models.
One of the biggest advantages of Amuse 2.0 is its ability to use Stable Diffusion locally, without needing an internet connection. This means the AI runs on the computer itself, requiring an AI chip. Thus, Amuse 2.0 needs a graphics card from the Radeon RX 7000 series or higher, or a processor from the new AMD Ryzen AI 300 series. The software is not compatible with NVIDIA or Intel devices.
AMD recommends 24GB of RAM or higher for Ryzen AI 300 processors and 32GB of RAM for Ryzen 8040 processors. No memory requirements are specified for Radeon RX 7000 GPUs.
Amuse 2.0 features:
- No command line needed
- Simple and easy to use
- AMD XDNAT™ 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)
It is worth noting that the tool supports a special mode called XDNA Super Resolution, which aims to upscale images by a factor of 2. Here is the full list of supported features.
What sets Amuse 2.0 apart?
- Ease of use: You don't need to be an AI expert to generate stunning images. Thanks to its simple interface, you can start using it right away.
- Power of Stable Diffusion: Amuse 2.0 is based on the powerful AI model Stable Diffusion, ensuring high-quality results.
- Local use: No internet connection is required to generate your images. All you need is a device with an AMD Radeon RX 7000 or higher graphics processor, or an AMD Ryzen AI 300 processor.
- Full customization: You have complete control over the image generation process with a wide range of filters and tools.
Amuse 2.0 configures itself automatically, allowing users to start generating AI images from the first moment.
How does Amuse 2.0 work?
1. Start with a sketch: Draw the idea of the image you want, even if it's simple.
2. Describe the drawing: Tell Amuse 2.0 about the details of your sketch, such as colors and mood.
3. Watch the magic happen: Amuse 2.0 will transform your sketch into a stunning piece of art.
To create images, you simply need to draw a sketch and specify what it represents. Stable Diffusion will turn it into a professional image. Various filters can also be used to fully customize the generated image.
Amuse 2.0 can be downloaded for free from its website, but you need to ensure you have the required AMD hardware for the program to work.
The idea of Amuse 2.0 seems intriguing, as it allows the creation of images using Stable Diffusion easily and without needing an internet connection. It remains to be seen how long it will take for NVIDIA to launch a similar application for its devices.
