James Governor sits down with Anush Elangovan, VP of AI at AMD, to dig into the fast-evolving world of local LLMs, edge hardware, and the future of AI-powered developer experience.
They cover:
- Why local LLMs are exploding in adoption -Privacy, data sovereignty, and on-device intelligence
- Running 120B-parameter models on AMD Strix Halo laptops
- The software stack Anush uses: ROCm, Llama.cpp, Ollama, ComfyUI, PyTorch & more
- How AMD is approaching AI-driven developer tools, coding agents, and predictive ops
- The role of custom silicon, inference-optimized chips, and next-gen laptops
- What ROCm actually is (and why developers should care)
- If you're curious about the future of on-device AI, developer workflows, or AMD's AI strategy, this is a must-watch.
