Summary

A production case study reports up to 1.5-times higher training throughput than a direct AMD MI350X port.

The paper combines hardware-model co-design, zero-warmup kernel selection and agent-assisted porting for recommendation workloads, emphasizing MI350X memory capacity rather than CUDA-shaped assumptions. The comparison is Meta's own case study, not an independent fleet-wide benchmark.

Why it matters
