The machine uses the Ryzen AI Max Plus 395 chip with a Radeon 8060S GPU and 50 TOPS NPU. Demos cover running large LLMs (GPT OSS 120B, Qwen 3.6 35B MoE) at 30-50+ tokens/second via LM Studio, image and video generation with ComfyUI and LTX, multi-model agent setups with Hermes, and fine-tuning with Unsloth. The Linux version ships pre-configured with ROCm, PyTorch, and an AMD developer center with playbooks. Key advantage over discrete GPU workstations is the ability to allocate up to ~96 GB to the GPU, enabling models that simply wouldn't fit before, at a lower price point than a comparable discrete GPU setup. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
