Thanks for this! I've been trying to get local training working on Fedora with ROCm for a while now, and this is the first project that ran end-to-end on my RX 7600 XT 16GB.

The whole reason for me buying the card was to play around with deep learning and models, so it's awesome to have a stepping off point now!

No CUDA meant ROCm surprisingly just worked with JAX.

Gotchas for anyone with a 7600 XT: it needed two env vars, HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=11.0.0 because JAX's plugin rejects gfx1102, and XLA_FLAGS=--xla_gpu_enable_triton_gemm=false to stop a GPU hang.

I'm on Fedora 45 with the in-kernel amdgpu driver, rootless podman and AMD's rocm/jax image (ROCm 10.1, JAX 0.11.1). Nothing ROCm is installed on the host, which is nice.

Container setup is in a PR if it helps anyone: https://github.com/Vaibhaav-Tiwari/deepseek-v3-jax/pull/1
