AMD launches Amuse: a local AI image generator featuring Stable Diffusion and XDNA Super Resolution

AI image generation is one of the most popular use-cases for generative AI and a quintessential AI PC experience is simply incomplete without it. Most of this local image generation happens using Stable Diffusion models created by Stability AI – which is a pioneer in this field. Multiple applications, GUIs, command lines and code blocks exist in the wild to run Stable Diffusion models on AI PCs but they are typically very cumbersome to install, require a high level of technical knowledge to run and may not have optimized performance for your PC.

AMD has partnered with TensorStack, an AI technology company based out of New Zealand, to bring a painless, easy to use and optimized end-user experience to AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processors and Radeon RX 7000 Series graphics customers.

Amuse 2.0.0 is an easy to install program, that has no dependencies, a simplified user interface called “Ez Mode” and will quickly take care of all the configuration required to jump start your AI image generation journey. It also features an AMD XDNA Super Resolution solution to speed up and increase output size by 2x at the end of the image generation stage.
