Vibe Coding with Local Models

abstract background

This is an intermediate level class to learn how to harness the on-device power of the AMD Ryzen AI Max 395 to run large coding models locally using Lemonade Server — no cloud, no API keys, all local. Learn how to architect specialized AI agents with Qwen Coder and watch them collaborate to build something you'll actually want to play.

  • ROCm AMD Infinity Context: Shared KV Cache for Agentic AI

    As LLM inference shifts toward long context, multi-turn sessions, and agents, KV cache becomes a dominant scaling constraint that no longer fits in GPU HBM. Existing caching solutions partially solve this using expensive CPU memory, non-optimized remote storage or local non-sharable NVMe SSDs. ROCm AIC proposes a shared across GPUs, low latency storage tier to offload KV cache. This session gives insight into the ROCm AIC architecture and provides measured performance, backed by partner vendors.;As LLM inference shifts toward long context, multi-turn sessions, and agents, KV cache becomes a dominant scaling constraint that no longer fits in GPU HBM.
