Welcome to the AMD Pervasive AI Developer Contest, where developers like you have the opportunity to create innovative AI projects for a chance to win cash prizes! AMD is extending its AI reach to hardware, software, and AI developers across diverse industries, including data centres, client workstations & laptops, industrial, gaming, and automotive! AI powers groundbreaking innovations, fueling a wave of intelligent and efficient applications that can improve the world.
This year, AMD is challenging AI developers to create innovative projects on select AMD hardware and compete in three exciting categories: Generative AI, Robotics AI, and PC AI.
Category 1: Generative AI with AMD GPUs
Generative AI is one of the most exciting and promising fields of artificial intelligence, with applications ranging from art and entertainment to healthcare and security. With the ability to create new, original content, including images, text, music, or other media, the potential for creativity and innovation opens a world of new possibilities. Ongoing advancements in the open-source community for generative AI are democratizing access to this technology, broadening its usage and empowering diverse individuals to leverage its creative and problem-solving potential.
For this category, the Seeker wants to see developers create unique applications that solve real-world problems utilizing the ROCm software combined with either an AMD Instinct™ MI210 accelerator card via cloud access or an AMD Radeon™ PRO W7900 graphics card.
Category 2: Robotics AI with AMD KRIA™ KR260 Robotics Starter Kit
AI in robotics empowers robots to emulate human abilities through machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, and more. This integration holds immense potential for revolutionizing manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, and more industries by enhancing robots’ capabilities and adaptability.
The Kria KR260 Robotics Starter Kit is a Kria SOM-based development platform for robotics and factory automation applications. It enables roboticists and industrial developers without FPGA expertise to develop hardware-accelerated applications for robotics, machine vision, and industrial communication & control.
For this category, the Seeker wants to see developers create unique AI vision-guided robotics applications using camera inputs and control output with ROS and AI targeting the Kria KR260 Robotics Starter Kit and Vitis™ AI software or PYNQ™.
Category 3: PC AI with AMD Ryzen™ AI
Integrating AI capabilities into processors represents a pioneering move for x86 processors. The surge of interest in AI, fueled by advancements like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion, has sparked rapid growth and maturation within the AI deployment field.
AMD Ryzen AI is the world’s first built-in AI engine on select x86 Windows laptops. This dedicated engine is built on the AMD XDNA™ architecture and is designed to offer lower latency and better energy efficiency. This integration optimizes efficiency by offloading specific AI processing tasks such as background blur, facial detection, and eye gaze correction, freeing up CPU and GPU cycles and enhancing system efficiency.
The Seeker seeks unique PC applications using vision, speech, or domain-optimized LLMs on Ryzen AI-powered PCs for this category.
Submissions to this Challenge must be received by 11:59 PM PDT, May 31, 2024.
