The developer plans to test the new variant after their Radeon VII finishes current tasks.", "body_md": "Nice you have two RVII’s?\n\nFor reference:\n\nSummaryI too have finetuned a llama.cpp or two, but for one card, we mashed flashattention into a variant in jan/feb then one of these beat me to it, ended up just using it.\n\nI actively use [knguyen298/llama-swap-gfx906 - Docker Image](https://hub.docker.com/r/knguyen298/llama-swap-gfx906/tags)\n\nThey have built router features into newer llama.cpp, but my harness has the extra model field in API calls and that is easier for me at least. I use ai-infos vLLM for that container.\n\nI’ll spin up this variant later on, the RVII is crunching tokens right now", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/glm-and-i-created-a-llama-cpp-fork-optimized-for-amd-gfx906-mi50-mi60-radeon-vii", "canonical_source": "https://forum.level1techs.com/t/glm-and-i-created-a-llama-cpp-fork-optimized-for-amd-gfx906-mi50-mi60-radeon-vii-gcn-hip/254257#post_2", "published_at": "2026-08-22 20:04:08+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-22 20:13:27.748593+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["developer-tools", "ai-infrastructure", "machine-learning"], "entities": ["llama.cpp", "AMD", "GFX906", "Mi50", "Mi60", "Radeon VII", "GCN HIP", "knguyen298/llama-swap-gfx906"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/glm-and-i-created-a-llama-cpp-fork-optimized-for-amd-gfx906-mi50-mi60-radeon-vii", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/glm-and-i-created-a-llama-cpp-fork-optimized-for-amd-gfx906-mi50-mi60-radeon-vii.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/glm-and-i-created-a-llama-cpp-fork-optimized-for-amd-gfx906-mi50-mi60-radeon-vii.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/glm-and-i-created-a-llama-cpp-fork-optimized-for-amd-gfx906-mi50-mi60-radeon-vii.jsonld"}}
