Have you looked into TinyCorp [0]/tinygrad [1], one of the latest endeavors by George Hotz? I've been pretty impressed by the performance. [2]

I have not been impressed by the perf. Slower than PyTorch for LLMs, and PyTorch is actually stable on AMD (I've trained 7B/13B models).. so the stability issues seem to be more of a tinygrad problem and less of an AMD problem, despite George's ramblings [0][1]

He also shakes his fist at the software stack, but loudly enough that it has AMD react to it.
