Qwen ROCm Inference Setup Progress | Generated by AI

Home 2026.05

Here’s a concise summary of your current server setup status:

Current Status: Successfully downloading a Qwen model onto a DigitalOcean ROCm droplet for inference.

Key Points:

  1. Infrastructure: DigitalOcean MI300X GPU droplet (ROCm-enabled) successfully provisioned and accessed via SSH/UJupyter
  2. Model Download: Initially failed with wget (404 error), but now successfully downloading via huggingface-cli - currently at 88% (35.8/40.4 GB) of the Qwen3.5-122B-UD-Q4_K.gguf file
  3. Next Steps: After download completes, you’ll need to:
    • Compile inference engine (likely llama.cpp) with ROCm support
    • Verify the downloaded model file integrity
    • Configure and run inference using the Qwen GGUF model

Outcome: The main barrier (model download) has been resolved and is progressing well. Once complete, you’ll proceed to inference setup on your AMD MI300X hardware.
