rocmate 0.4.1

Curated AMD GPU compatibility index and CLI for AI workloads

rocmate

Get AMD GPUs running with AI tools — without the rabbit hole.

rocmate is a curated compatibility index and CLI for running modern AI workloads on AMD GPUs via ROCm. It tells you what works on your specific card, what to set, and what to avoid — based on configurations that real users have tested.

pip install rocmate

Why?

AMD GPUs offer great VRAM-per-dollar (especially the RX 7900 XTX with 24 GB), but getting Ollama, ComfyUI, faster-whisper, or axolotl to actually use the GPU still involves hunting through blog posts, GitHub issues, and Discord threads. Information is scattered, often outdated, and rarely specific to your chip generation (gfx1030 vs gfx1100 vs gfx1201).

rocmate consolidates this knowledge into one place — version-controlled, testable, community-maintained.

Quickstart

# Install (Python 3.11+)
pip install rocmate

# Check your system
rocmate doctor

# Show the tested config for a tool
rocmate show ollama

# Install a tool with the right ENV vars
rocmate install ollama

# Auto-fix detected issues
rocmate doctor --fix

Run rocmate show <tool> for chip-specific ENV vars, install hints, and tested ROCm versions.

Status

Actively maintained by @tonde on an RX 7900 XTX. Contributions for other AMD chips are very welcome — one YAML file, five minutes. See CONTRIBUTING.md.

Roadmap

• rocmate doctor — system diagnostic (GPU, ROCm, groups, Docker, Vulkan)
• rocmate show <tool> — display tested config per chip
• rocmate list — list all supported tools
• rocmate install <tool> — plan and execute install with correct ENV vars
• rocmate doctor --tool <name> — tool-specific compatibility check
• rocmate doctor --fix — interactively apply fixes for detected issues
• Windows / HIP SDK support (GPU detection via hipinfo + WMI fallback)
• Web-facing compatibility matrix

Non-goals

• Not a replacement for ROCm, Ollama, or any inference engine
• Not a fork of upstream tools — only configs and glue
• Not a benchmarking tool
