Lemonade is AMD's open-source local AI server that manages multiple backends like llama.cpp and FastFlowLM across GPU/NPU/CPU, serving text, image, and audio generation through an OpenAI-compatible API.
After updating to AMD Software 26.3.1 on a GMKtec EVO-X2 (Ryzen AI Max+ 395), Vulkan backend fails to allocate device memory properly and falls back to CPU. Investigation and workaround by changing BIOS VRAM allocation from 48GB/16GB to 32GB/32GB.
