Key Highlights:
- AMD announced a new AI Bundle in a way to integrate and incorporate ‘AI for all’.
- This bundle includes software that can be used for local AI image generation and other creative work.
- However, its release was not appreciated by most consumers.
AMD had a rather brief press release for today, January 15, 2026 which highlighted its commitment to integrate AI into its platforms, especially with the newly released Ryzen AI 400 and PRO 400 series of CPUs.
One of the major announcements was a free AI bundle that would be added to the AMD Adrenalin suite as an optional add on. However, most fans seem to be (rather understandably) unamused by the whole affair, calling AMD to focus on gaming related features instead.
AMD’s AI Bundle Launches As An Additional Add On For Its Adrenalin Software Suite
Coming January 21st: AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™ AI Bundle

AI Made Simple.
AI Bundle is a streamlined installer that equips your AMD-powered system with the essential tools for AI development and creative workflows.
AMD has launched a new AI Bundle for a select number of products, as mentioned by a recent X post. The AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition AI Bundle is described as a seamless installer that automatically installs ‘essential tools’ for AI related workloads in a click.
These essential tools include the likes of PyTorch on Windows, and can be used for a variety of tasks, ranging from local LLMS to AI assisted image generation programs.
The end goal is to make AI more accessible, and removes the cumbersome and often unnecessary setup involved with setting up these development environments.
The software bundle add on arrives on January 21, 2026. As far as supported products go, expect their any product with the AI moniker to be more or less supported. Of course, actual performance will vary depending on the TOPS performance, and should work best with RDNA 4 and the Ryzen AI 400 series.
Most Consumers Really Do Not Care
Most comments under the post seem to be overwhelmingly negative, with consumers being rather jaded over the overuse of AI in marketing. It’s no secret that the increased push of AI has made companies forget their consumer base over server related fields, which offer greener pastures.
AMD is also guilty of the same, and their presentation at CES 2026 offered barely any consumer tech (still better than Nvidia though, who had absolutely no hardware to showcase for gamers), with team red instead opting to focus on enterprise level solutions for AI, in what was a consumer electronics show.

The upcoming Ryzen AI 400 and PRO 400 series are essentially rebadged versions of last gen products, which has understandably left fans upset. Many were hoping for AMD’s triumphant return to the consumer GPU market, after proving its mettle with the RX 9000 series, but that wasn’t ever the intended case.
AMD seems content with chasing the AI bubble, and this lowered commitment to consumers is rather unfortunate. It’s understandable as to why most consumers simply do not care for these so called AI features, as they all appear to be rather gimmicky and half baked. The whole approach appears tone deaf.
Regardless, What Products Are Supported?
If you are interested in using these AI tools, (which to be fair are quite useful when packed into a singular installer), AMD unfortunately does not provide enough information as to which of their products are supported.
My best guess is that newer Ryzen AI branded, Copilot ready hardware, along with the last gen RDNA 3 and current gen RDNA 4 GPUs will be supported out of the box. Other hardware might not work well enough for it to be supported.
