Fine-Tuning LLMs on AMD ROCm: A Practical Axolotl Workflow for the MI300X
This article details a practical workflow for fine-tuning large language models using AMD's ROCm platform, specifically on the MI300X hardware. It highlights how to overcome the dominance of NVIDIA's CUDA by leveraging ROCm, QLoRA techniques, and checkpointed training. The process is designed to utilize the substantial 192GB of VRAM available on the MI300X for efficient model customization. AI
