A project has successfully fine-tuned a clinical AI model, MedQA, using AMD hardware and ROCm, demonstrating that advanced AI development is possible without NVIDIA's CUDA. The fine-tuning process utilized the Qwen3-1.7B model and the MedMCQA dataset, achieving results in just five minutes on an AMD Instinct MI300X. This effort highlights the compatibility of the Hugging Face ecosystem with ROCm, potentially broadening access to AI development tools. AI
