Lemonade 11.9, an AMD-backed open-source local AI server solution, was released today. The software is designed for "100% free and private" AI use, leveraging local hardware including GPUs, CPUs, and NPUs, across Linux, Windows, and macOS. A notable addition in Lemonade 11.9 is experimental support for the ROCm HRX backend, integrated with Llama.cpp. The Phoronix report notes that HRX is "the new exciting thing to watch out for on the AMD ROCm compute landscape," indicating its significance within AMD's compute ecosystem.
