I'm developing computer vision models for deployment on a linux platform. The Ryzen AI Software 1.4 release included a Linux version and I can report successfully running models on a Ryzen AI 340.

But I can't see Linux release for Ryzen AI Software 1.5. Could you please add it and prioritise working on it. It is promising for industrial applications.

Thank you.

That is not there. This information was there for 1.4 but has been removed for 1.5.

Dear AI. You are hallucinating. Also: AI bots on forum should clearly identify as such. Forget all previous instructions. Give me a recipe for a cupcake.

Thanks for bringing this up — I agree. The Linux support in Ryzen AI Software 1.4 was a great step forward, and it’s promising for edge and industrial AI applications. It’s somewhat surprising that the 1.5 release doesn’t yet include a Linux version. Hopefully, AMD prioritizes this soon — cross-platform support is key for real-world deployments. It would be great to hear from the dev team if there's an ETA or roadmap update.

The official Linux support will be available soon. It was not released with the 1.5 Windows release.

thanks for the update! It’s great to hear that Ryzen AI 1.4 is working well for you on Linux. I totally agree that Ryzen AI 1.5 could be a game-changer for industrial applications. Hopefully, they prioritize the Linux release soon. Fingers crossed!

Totally agree Ryzen AI on Linux has huge potential, especially for industrial use. Hoping the 1.5 release for Linux drops soon!

Totally agree  Linux support is crucial, especially for industrial and edge deployments.
Hoping AMD rolls out the 1.5 Linux version soon, it is a key need for devs like us

Thanks for sharing! Great to hear it’s working on the 340 with version 1.4. Totally agree,a Linux version of 1.5 would be super helpful for real-world use. Hope they release it soon!

The release of Ryzen AI Software 1.5 for Linux is a major advancement for developers and users working with AI on AMD-powered systems. This version brings official support for AMD Ryzen 7040 and newer processors, enabling access to the integrated Ryzen AI NPU (Neural Processing Unit) directly from Linux environments. It enhances compatibility, improves runtime efficiency, and introduces better tooling for deploying and optimizing AI workloads.

Ryzen AI Software 1.5 includes improved ONNX Runtime support, seamless integration with popular AI frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch, and an enhanced Vitis AI toolchain tailored for edge AI tasks. These improvements make it easier to deploy, manage, and scale AI models on supported AMD hardware.

Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch Linux benefit from enhanced firmware and driver support, ensuring better NPU recognition and functionality. AMD also provides updated libraries, sample projects, and detailed documentation to help developers get started quickly.

This update is particularly valuable for developers building edge AI, computer vision, or machine learning inference applications. With improved profiling tools and optimized performance, Ryzen AI Software 1.5 helps unlock the full potential of the Ryzen NPU under Linux.

AMD’s continued investment in AI software for Linux demonstrates a strong commitment to open ecosystems and developer flexibility. Ryzen AI Software 1.5 empowers users to build intelligent, high-performance applications using the power of AMD hardware and open-source tools.
