Fedora 40 Beta: Diving into AI Enablement and PyTorch Integration
If you want to get started with Linux, one way I encourage people to jump in is with a Linux Desktop. In particular, I like the Red Hat Fedora distribution. Fedora 40 beta is out, and if you like to get a jump on what's new before the general release, you should download it now.
A couple of features standouts, and they relate to AI.

Fedora 40 Beta introduces several new features to the workstation, including:
AI enablement
- PyTorch:Â A high demand machine learning framework that is widely used for image and speech recognition, natural language processing, and other AI applications. PyTorch provides a user-friendly interface for building and testing complex machine learning models. The current build enables CPU-based computation as a first step to making this important tool easier to access. Accelerator support is planned for future releases.
- ROCm 6 release:Â Enables the newest flagship datacenter GPU, the AMD Instinct MI300, as well as continuing all previously enabled GPUs.
The betas provide an opportunity for the community to test the upcoming release and share feedback and their thoughts. Consider downloading it today and sharing your feedback.
