Radeon embraces AI with AMD Software 26.1.1 and its “AI Bundle”

Radeon’s first driver release of 2025 is focused on AI

AMD is starting 2026 with a focus on AI, with AMD Software 26.1.1 being the first Radeon GPU driver to integrate AMD’s “AI Bundle” into its installer. This simplifies AI software integration by automatically installing PyTorch for Windows, ComfyUI, Ollama, LM Studio, and Amuse. This allows Radeon GPU users to start using AI with minimal hassle.

AMD Software 26.1.1 also delivers support for AMD’s new Ryzen AI 400 series mobile processors, and game support for Starsand Island and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora – From The Ashes Edition. Additionally, it ships with a huge number of bug fixes.
