Ryan chats with Anush Elangovan, VP of Software at AMD, about ROCm's open-source unified toolchain for GPUs, how agentic AI is drastically lowering the barrier to entry for low-level hardware programming, and the rapid convergence of software and hardware development timelines.

Episode notes: 

ROCm is AMD's unified, open-source software layer and toolchain that allows developers to program on AMD's hardware accelerators.
