Running AI on AMD RDNA 4 (RX 9000 Series): The ROCm 7.1 & Flash Attention Survival Guide

Hardware: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT (gfx1201)
OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Software: ROCm 7.1.0, PyTorch 2.8 (Nightly/Custom)

Getting bleeding-edge AMD hardware to play nice with AI workflows often feels like solving a puzzle. If you picked up an RDNA 4 card (like the RX 9070 XT) and tried to install standard AI libraries, you likely hit walls of C++ assembly errors.

Here is the breakdown of why it fails, and the specific strategies to get Flash Attention 2, ComfyUI, and Flux.1 running natively.
