* ROCm Compute Profiler now uses [AMD SMI](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/amdsmi/en/latest/index.html) instead of [ROCm SMI](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/rocm_smi_lib/en/latest/index.html). The AMD System Management Interface Library (AMD SMI) is a successor to ROCm SMI. It is a unified system management interface tool that provides a user-space interface for applications to monitor and control GPU applications and gives users the ability to query information about drivers and GPUs on the system. For more information, see [https://github.com/ROCm/amdsmi](https://github.com/ROCm/amdsmi) and the [AMD SMI documentation](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/amdsmi/en/latest/index.html).

### ROCm Runfile Installer updates
The ROCm Runfile Installer 6.4.2 adds support for Oracle 8.10 and 9.6 using the RHEL 8 or 9 `.run` files and for Debian 12 using the Ubuntu 22.04 `.run` file. It also fixes permission settings issues during ROCm and AMDGPU driver installation.

### ROCm documentation updates
ROCm documentation continues to be updated to provide clearer and more comprehensive guidance for a wider variety of user needs and use cases.
* [Tutorials for AI developers](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/ai-developer-hub/en/latest/) have been expanded with four new tutorials. These tutorials are Jupyter notebook-based, easy-to-follow documents. They are ideal for AI developers who want to learn about specific topics, including inference, fine-tuning, training, and GPU development and optimization. For more information about the changes, see [Changelog for the AI Developer Hub](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/ai-developer-hub/en/latest/changelog.html).

* Documentation for the new [ROCprof Compute Viewer](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/rocprof-compute-viewer/en/amd-mainline/) was released in May 2025. This tool is used to visualize and analyze GPU thread trace data collected using [rocprofv3](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/rocprofiler-sdk/en/latest/index.html). Note that [ROCprof Compute Viewer](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/rocprof-compute-viewer/en/amd-mainline/) is in an early access state. Running production workloads is not recommended.

* The AMDGPU installer documentation has been removed to encourage the use of the package manager for ROCm installation. While the package manager is the recommended method, you can still install ROCm using the AMDGPU installer by following the [legacy process](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/install-on-linux/en/docs-6.4.1/install/install-methods/amdgpu-installer-index.html).

The following changes to the ROCm software stack are anticipated for future releases.
### AMD SMI migration to AMDGPU driver repository
In a future release, [AMD SMI](https://github.com/ROCm/amdsmi) will be relocated from the ROCm repository to a new AMDTools repository to better align with its system-level functionality. `amd-smi-lib` will no longer be included in the `rocm-developer-tools` meta-package included with your standard ROCm installation. Instead, it will be packaged with the AMDGPU driver installation along side a new meta package.
