Aside from the latest commit, there has been no activity for almost 3 years (latest code change on Feb 22, 2021).

People are criticizing AMD for dropping this, but it makes sense to stop paying for development when the dev has stopped doing the work, no?

And if he means that AMD stopped paying 3 years ago - well, that was before dinosaurs and ChatGPT, and alot has changed since then.

Pretty sure this was developed in private, but because AMD cancelled the contract he has been allowed to open source the code, and this is the "throw it over the fence" code dump.
