AMD brings datacenter-level AI to Windows PCs, runs Meta's 109B Llama lodel locally by Pradeep Viswanathan Earlier this year, during CES 2025, AMD announced the world's first AI PC processor that can run Meta's Llama 70B model locally. Today, AMD announced that the Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 processor, when paired with 128 GB of RAM on Windows, can now run Meta’s Llama 4 Scout 109B (17B active) with full vision and MCP support. This capability is enabled for the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor with the new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.8.1 WHQL driver update. AMD claims that this processor can not only run Meta’s Llama 4 Scout but also supports a context length of 256,000 (Flash Attention ON, KV Cache Q8), which is useful for agentic workflows. AMD claims that the Llama 4 Scout 109B model was previously only possible on datacenter-grade hardware but is now available in thin and light PCs, thanks to its Variable Graphics Memory feature. Variable Graphics Memory is AMD's BIOS-level feature, introduced with the latest Ryzen AI 300 series processors, that enables users to reallocate a percentage of the system RAM to the integrated graphics. This unified memory architecture allows users to allocate unused system RAM as dedicated graphics memory. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ processor is now available as an option for the following Windows PCs: ASUS ROG Flow Z13 Corsair AI Workstation 300 Framework Desktop HP ZBook Ultra G1a HP Z2 Mini G1a By enabling massive AI models to run locally, AMD is paving the way for more responsive, private, and capable AI applications on Windows PCs.

Higher "Social Charges". I think that is a feel good phrase for 'Employee Deferred Compensation Charges". Then again, they use different wording in the "Old World." More precisely in American Accounting Lingo: "Mark to the Market Employee Differed Compensation Charges." -

TikTok's "Add to Music App" feature gets support for another music streaming service by David Uzondu Image via Depositphotos.com TikTok's "Add to Music App" feature is getting support for another streaming service: YouTube Music. This comes a few months after the short-form video giant brought the feature to SoundCloud. "Add to Music App", if you have not heard of it, is a feature launched back in November 2023, initially for US and UK users, that makes saving music a lot easier. With this feature, users get an "Add Song" button next to the track name at the bottom of a TikTok video. When a customer first uses the feature, they can select their preferred streaming service from the available options, and this choice then becomes the default for all future one-tap saves (this can be changed anytime in the app's settings). The new YouTube Music integration means you can directly save the track to the streaming service with a single press. Users can also add a track from an artist's Sound Detail Page. When "Add to Music App" first appeared, the options were limited to Spotify and Amazon Music. Since then, TikTok has added Apple Music and Deezer. Each service gets a designated spot for the saved tracks, like Spotify's "Liked Songs" playlist. In YouTube Music's case, the song will land in a dedicated "TikTok Songs" playlist, so you do not have to go hunting for it later. TikTok claims that its "Add to Music App" function has resulted in over 1 billion saves globally since its wider rollout in 2024. On a related note, you probably are already aware of the current divest-or-ban issue TikTok's facing in the US. Howard Lutnick, the US Commerce secretary, recently stated in an interview with Fox News Sunday that President Trump loves the platform and sees it as "a good way to communicate with young people," but the platform's US operations must be handled by an American company, not Chinese. -
