Recently, AMD has collaborated with Tensorstack to launch the latest version of the generative AI software Amuse3.1. This update builds upon the earlier release of Amuse3.0 this year, significantly improving image quality and reducing memory usage. Amuse3.1 uses the "world's first block FP16 SD3.0 medium model" and is optimized for devices equipped with Ryzen AI XDNA2NPU.

Notably, Amuse3.1 only supports running on AI PCs. AMD states that the software requires Ryzen AI300 series (laptops) or Ryzen AI MAX + series processors, featuring 50TOPS XDNA2NPU and at least 24GB of RAM.

One of the major highlights of Amuse3.1 is a significant improvement in image quality while reducing memory consumption. This means even laptops with less memory can enjoy high-quality local AI image generation. According to AMD, the SD3.0 medium model can run on a laptop with only 24GB of memory, consuming just 9GB of memory. Additionally, AMD provides some comparison examples of image generation, showcasing the significant differences between the SD3 medium data type and the SDXL Turbo model.

It is worth noting that Amuse3.1 has no subscription fee. This contrasts sharply with many popular AI tools like ChatGPT or Midjourney. AMD states that the software provides "no subscription fee" high-quality image libraries for individual users and small and medium-sized enterprises with an annual income of no more than $10,000. Although an internet connection is required when downloading the software for the first time, no internet connection is needed when generating AI images locally.

Another major feature of Amuse3.1 is fast iteration, allowing users to make adjustments quickly without needing to reshoot. Users can rapidly modify existing images to better match their vision. AMD emphasizes that this enables users to customize according to their brand and quickly generate marketing assets.

In addition, the two-stage pipeline technology based on XDNA2NPU can provide high-resolution images, enhancing a 2MP image of 1024×1024 to a 4MP image of 2048×2048, suitable for print media needs.
