Thanks. I think you should call the new ones "rocm-79alpha" and "rocm-79alpha-rocwmma" otherwise it's confusing.

[darkbasic]

@neuhaus the new ones are rocm 7.10, rocm 7.9 is the existing one which is called rocm-7rc.
I didn't use 7.10 for the new one to stay consistent with the existing nomenclature that uses rc instead of the plain version number.

[darkbasic]

I've added a container with lhl's llama.cpp patch that doubles performance with rocwmma: ggml-org/llama.cpp#16827

[darkbasic]

I've applied latest rc changes to the alpha containers and switched the improved flavor to use hjc4869's llama.cpp port.

Thank you, sorry I missed this. I did merge it but in the weekend I am going through all the toolboxes and try to sort out the mess with the names,

I think my rocm-7rc simply tracks TheRock nightly builds @darkbasic , so it will be whatever those are building. So I think rocm-7alpha and my rocm-7rc end up being the same.

And I am happy to just keep the rocm-7alpha name or maybe even rocm-7-nightly which might be mnore accurate, and create a rocm7.1 that tracks the stable release.

So I think rocm-7alpha and my rocm-7rc end up being the same.

@kyuz0 no they don't:

rocm-7rc tracks the "rc" nightlies while rocm-7alpha tracks the latest "alpha" nightly.

This is what each of them would download right now:

By the way I've just realized that I forgot to update refresh-toolboxes.sh so I'll open another PR for that.
