Here are the meeting minutes from the AI/ML SIG meeting on 2026-04-23, courtesy of Bot Aurélien
Framework for AI/ML App Development:
- A proposal was discussed for the AI/ML SIG to provide a framework and support for community members building AI-powered applications. The goal is to help developers collaborate, share learnings, and potentially onboard their applications into Fedora Infrastructure.
* It was debated whether this framework should be tightly coupled with Fedora Infrastructure hosting models or if it should focus on community-building and best practices, with developers bringing their own models/API keys.
* The group agreed that a formal written proposal is needed to discuss the idea in more detail.
Fedora Infrastructure GPU Status:
- One host with GPUs is being configured for community use.
- Plans for additional hosts are currently delayed indefinitely due to some supply chain issues
ROCm Updates:
- ROCm 7.2.2, a minor bug-fix release, is in Rawhide and may be targeted for EPEL 10.3.
- Development focus has shifted to the 8.x series, with a key feature being “generic GPU support.”
- This “generics” feature will allow ROCm to be built for broader families of AMD hardware instead of specific GPU models. This will result in wider hardware support, smaller packages, and faster build times.
AMD NPU Support:
- There is ongoing work to bring more AMD NPU support to Fedora.
- Lemonade, an interface to running LLM models on local hardware, has some support for an NPU backend and is currently under review.
Action Items
- @jflory7: Create an AI/ML SIG ticket and/or draft a proposal for the app development framework for further discussion by May 7, 2026.
