Fine-tune LLMs on AMD MI300X using ROCm and QLoRA

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

IMPACT Enables LLM fine-tuning on non-NVIDIA hardware, potentially lowering costs and increasing accessibility for researchers and developers.
