New AI technology from AMD offers "high-quality" images directly from your laptop's onboard processor - find out how to claim it without spending a dime.
Discover the world's first block FP16 SD 3.0 Medium model AI image generator, a collaboration between AMD and Stability AI, now available on compatible laptops. This groundbreaking technology, optimised for AMD's latest Ryzen AI 300 or AI MAX+ CPUs, promises improved image quality and better performance.
To get started, ensure your laptop is compatible. It should have an AMD Ryzen AI 300 or Ryzen AI MAX CPU and at least 24GB of RAM. Next, download and install the latest AMD Adrenalin Edition drivers and the Amuse 3.1 Beta software, which provides a user interface for AMD's generative AI features.
Once installed, launch the Amuse 3.1 Beta application and enter EZ Mode for simplified operation. Set the quality to HQ for higher output quality, and enable the XDNA 2 Stable Diffusion Offload option to leverage AMD's AI acceleration hardware.
With the configuration complete, you can now generate images using the AMD SD 3.0 Medium model. Input prompts and begin generating images via the Amuse application. Review the outputs directly within the application.
The new SD 3.0 Medium model offers several enhancements compared to the previous SDXL Turbo image generator. It requires significantly less memory, using only 9GB from a 24GB pool, and produces images of shockingly real quality. Moreover, it can upscale its 2MP output to 4MP (2048x2048), resulting in a larger image.
AMD describes the SD 3.0 Medium model as highly sensitive to the prompt content, structure, and order. The laptop you choose should have at least 24GB of RAM to support the new model. The XDNA 2 Neural Processing Unit (NPU) inside the Ryzen AI CPUs, capable of 50 TOPS of AI performance, processes both the SD 3.0 Medium model and its outputs.
The new SD 3.0 Medium model was announced on July 21, 2025, and is designed to run on consumer PCs, not supercomputers, allowing local use without an internet connection. If you encounter issues, ensure all drivers and software are fully updated, and double-check hardware compatibility and system memory.
