vLLM ROCm maintainers finally get persistent AMD MI355X cluster after SemiAnalysis lobbying
AccBalanced · x · 2026-09-23
SemiAnalysis credits EmbeddedLLM, the lead maintainers and CODEOWNERS of vLLM ROCm, saying the team had no persistent access to an MI355X cluster until May 2026 — until SemiAnalysis convinced AMD leadership to grant one. The team can now work on making MI355X great on vLLM, with community figures like @Rxday000 finally getting recognition and resources.
