AMD introduces the Ryzen AI Halo Developer Platform, powered by the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 processor. Designed for local AI development, it supports models up to 300 billion parameters with 192 GB unified memory. The platform features 16 Zen 5 cores, 40 RDNA 3.5 GPU units, and a 55 TOPS NPU, sharing a single memory pool for efficient orchestration.
It enables complex multi-agent workflows and runs large models at 4-bit quantization locally. AMD claims superior throughput over Intel Core Ultra X9 388H and Apple M5 Pro in generative AI tasks like image, video, and 3D creation. The system runs natively on Windows via ROCm software, supporting tools like Z Image Turbo, FLUX.2, and Stable Music.
Developers can boot, configure, and run AI workloads directly on their desks with full control and privacy.
