that greatly limits the number of people that can contribute to making the AMD AI software ecosystem better
I’d say it simply dials it down to zero. No one’s gonna buy an enterprise AMD card for playing with AI, so no one’s gonna contribute to that either. As a local AI enthusiast, this “but he used consumer card” complaint makes no sense to me.

My hypothesis is that the buying mentality stems from the inability to rent. Hence, me opening up a rental business.
Today, you can buy 7900's and they work with ROCm. As George pointed out, there are some low level issues with them, that AMD is working with him to resolve. That doesn't mean they absolutely don't work.
