RocmPilot Studio — CUDA→AMD Migration Cockpit

RocmPilot Studio — CUDA→AMD Migration Cockpit

AMD's MI300X wins on price/performance, but what keeps enterprises on CUDA isn't silicon — it's migration uncertainty. A typical AI codebase is CUDA-first top to bottom: hardcoded cuda device logic, nvidia/cuda base images, CUDA-pinned wheels, and the part everyone fears — custom kernels with warp-level assumptions. Tools like hipify translate the easy majority, but nobody can tell you up front how ready a whole codebase is, or where the hard work hides. RocmPilot Studio is the command center for that migration. Paste a repo URL and it runs a six-stage pipeline: SCAN → PLAN → PATCH → VALIDATE → REPORT. • Scan: a deterministic engine (no LLM — findings can't be hallucinated) detects blockers with file, line and severity, plus a kernel-risk classifier that names the hard 20% in AMD vocabulary: 32-lane warp shuffles vs 64-lane wavefronts, warpSize hazards, WMMA→rocWMMA, CUTLASS→Composable Kernel, cuBLAS→hipBLAS, NCCL→RCCL — at repository scale. • Plan: a multi-model agent orchestra (all AMD-hosted via Fireworks AI) — DeepSeek drafts the prioritized plan, then GLM, a different model, independently critiques it before you see it. Live-streamed agent trace in the UI. • Patch: safe auto-fixes as patch.diff, plus a ready-to-run ROCm Dockerfile, smoke test and benchmark — every change explained from the real diff. Download the fully patched repo as a zip. • Validate: smoke test + benchmark executed on real AMD hardware (passed on Radeon gfx1100, ROCm 7.2, PyTorch 2.9.1, ~0.84 ms inference; replays are always labeled). On failure, a research agent (Kimi) returns a cited, RAG-grounded fix from a ROCm/HIP knowledge base in Qdrant. • Report: an honest, blocker-weighted readiness score (sample repo: 37 → 72 → 86) and an exportable report. Fallback-safe at every layer — no API key, no vector DB, no GPU still yields a working, honest run. 160+ deterministic tests. Built by a two-person team with a protected-branch PR workflow.

RasoSynthTune: Text-to-Dataset & Fine-Tuning

RasoSynthTune: Text-to-Dataset & Fine-Tuning

ML teams fine-tuning models spend immense time hand-curating data or blindly trusting API-generated data that silently poisons training runs with hallucinations. RasoSynthTune solves this bottleneck as an autonomous multi-agent data refinery that converts raw, unstructured documents into verified fine-tuning datasets. The platform ensures quality through a rigorous three-layer verification shield: consensus-based LLM judge scoring, iterative self-refinement where low-scoring samples are dynamically revised using the judge's own critiques, and a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) manual review API. Furthermore, the system actively truncates hallucinated claims in generated multi-turn dialogues. Crucially, RasoSynthTune provides genuine hardware utilization rather than just standard API routing. Heavy multi-agent workflows and dynamic inference routing natively prioritize Fireworks AI, executing Google Gemma models (gemma2-9b-it and gemma2-27b-it) directly on AMD Instinct GPUs. The platform takes this further with an on-metal LoRA distillation loop, utilizing ROCm to fine-tune a smaller model directly on AMD hardware using the pipeline's own rigorously verified output data. Built for enterprise scale, the entire architecture—featuring a LangGraph multi-agent engine, FastAPI router, PostgreSQL, Redis, Qdrant vector storage, and a React/Next.js visual workflow studio—is fully containerized and features OpenTelemetry and Prometheus observability. It is engineered to deploy instantly on the AMD Developer Cloud, delivering transparent datasets (JSONL, Parquet) complete with hardware and model provenance cards.

CyLnk Learn

CyLnk Learn

By 2026, the world faces a 4.8M cybersecurity workforce gap. Traditional training fails: passive videos and certification mills produce paper engineers, not defenders. Meanwhile, 95% of cyberattacks target SMEs that can't afford $200K/year experts. Introducing CyLnk Learn: an AI-powered adaptive platform that fixes this by combining three pillars: 1. Probabilistic Mastery: Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) + SM-2 models every skill as a probability. Every next step is chosen by math, not a fixed table. 2. Vision-Aware AI Tutor: A LangGraph state machine over a RAG corpus. Paste a screenshot of a failing terminal, and our multimodal AI instantly diagnoses the exploit. 3. Live Sandboxed Labs: On-demand Docker/Podman exploit environments, isolated per learner, auto-graded, and evicted after 30 mins idle. Powered by AMD & Fireworks AI: We use a hybrid inference architecture running natively on AMD Instinct GPUs. We run lightweight Gemma models locally via AMD ROCm for zero data leakage, and route complex tasks through the Fireworks AI API. We implement smart model routing: Gemma 4B for intent, 12B for pedagogy, and 31B for vision analysis. This "right tool for the job" approach maximizes intelligence while minimizing inference costs. Market & Mission: Our beachhead is B2C learners in developing nations (Bangladesh, Nigeria, Vietnam) and under-defended SMEs globally. By making high-quality, personalized cybersecurity education affordable, we turn motivated learners into job-ready defenders, creating a remote talent pipeline for SMEs that desperately need them. CyLnk Learn isn't just a hackathon project; it's a battle-tested, validated startup (Winner of Infinity AI BuildFest 2026, Runner-Up Technopreneurship 2026). Learn by exploiting. Not by watching.

Cortex: Industrial AI Knowledge Platform

Cortex: Industrial AI Knowledge Platform

Problem: Industrial organizations maintain thousands of pages of manuals, SOPs, maintenance guides, equipment specifications, engineering reports, and compliance documents. Critical knowledge is fragmented across PDFs, making retrieval slow and preventing engineers from answering questions that require combining information from multiple documents. Traditional RAG systems retrieve isolated chunks of text but fail to capture relationships between assets, procedures, failures, regulations, and components. Solution: Cortex is an Industrial Knowledge Intelligence Platform that transforms unstructured documents into a living knowledge graph and enables engineers to interact with it using a multi-agent AI system. Instead of retrieving only text, Cortex combines: Layout-aware document understanding Knowledge graph construction Dense vector retrieval Graph traversal Multi-agent reasoning to answer complex industrial questions with complete citations and provenance. Key Features Layout-aware PDF parsing Knowledge Graph generation Hybrid Retrieval (Dense + Graph) Multi-Agent AI Copilot Streaming responses Interactive graph exploration Explainable answers with citations Production-grade asynchronous ingestion JWT-secured backend Self-healing background workers AMD Compute Usage All machine learning workloads execute on AMD GPUs through AMD AI Notebooks. The unified inference gateway serves: ROCm + vLLM for LLM inference IBM Docling for PDF parsing and OCR FastEmbed for embedding generation The backend communicates with the gateway through OpenAI-compatible APIs without requiring model-specific code.
