Dual AMD Radeon AI Pro 9700s (600 watts total 64GB of vram) runs Qwen 3.6 27B at FP8 with mtp on vLLM at 50ish TPS for decode. Cards cost $1300 a piece. Enough KV cache to fully max out two concurrent sessions.
It was super rough going to get started with them back in January, but right now the cards purrrr and I haven't even tried tuning yet. You need to use a patched vLLM image with aiter but besides that things are finally working on the ROCm front.
