WSL

ASRock released a special AI tool a few years back that gave users the ability to easily and quickly deploy AI applications on PCs with supported AMD or Intel GPUs. The board maker has announced its second iteration of the app, known as AI Quickset WSL, that further enhances the tool’s capabilities. Giving users an environment that can easily deploy AI apps made specifically for Linux on Windows machines without dealing with a complicated setup process.

The app takes advantage of Microsoft’s WSL virtual compatibility layer to achieve this. WSL is essentially a GUI-less virtual machine natively supported in the latest versions of Windows that allows users to run Linux apps in Windows through virtualization. AI Quickset WSL is built on AMD’s ROCm platform to provide all the necessary setup configuration to run Linux AI-based apps efficiently on AMD’s RX 7900 series GPUs or newer.

ASRock’s tool is designed to automate all of the complicated parts of running AI applications on Windows. Depending on the method, installing and running AI models on a PC can be tough. You need to account for what hardware you have and what runtime(s) that hardware supports. You might also need to manually tweak the LLM’s optimizations under the hood so it runs well on your hardware, if you’re going with a manual setup.

Making matters worse, most “cutting-edge” AI applications are typically optimized for Linux, making it even harder for Windows users to get these apps up and running in Windows (if at all). AI QuickSet WSL essentially turns the process of running AI apps into a simplified wizard, with a GUI that provides a step-by-step process for whatever model you want to run (so long as it’s also supported by AI QuickSet WSL). ASRock’s app also includes several AI models ready to be used, such as audio, image, text, and object translators and detectors.

The original version of AI Quickset was only capable of configuring AI applications that were designed with either Windows or Linux in mind. AI Quickset WSL expands upon this and again allows users the freedom to run Linux-based AI apps on Windows, which is a huge deal if you dabble in AI models that are mostly regulated to the Linux space. But, just like most AI software, AI Quickset’s minimum hardware requirements are high, requiring either Intel 12th Gen or newer or AMD Ryzen 5000 or newer CPUs, 64GB of memory, and ASRock’s RX 7900 series or later graphics cards.

EA Sports has revealed the top 26 players in both the Premier League and WSL for EA Sports FC 26.

In the men’s top league, after a dominant romp to the title last season Liverpool have come out on top with 8 players in the top 26, just beating Arsenal who have 7.

With a few high-profile departures as club legends reached the end of their time up North, Man City have just 5, including 2 downgrades for Rodri and Dias and 2 new players in Donnarumma and Reijnders.

Newcastle and Chelsea have 2 midfielders in the top 26 a piece, while Youri Tielemans makes it for Villa with Bruno Fernandes rounding out the list as the last vestigial reminder of Manchester United at the top end of the Premier League.

In the WSL though, underdog Champion’s League winners Arsenal have 3 players in the top 5, but it’s 6-in-a-row title winners Chelsea who have the most strength in depth, with a mighty 11 of the 26 highest rated WSL players (despite downgrades for key players like Sam Kerr and Lauren James following injury-hit seasons).

New additions include the popular Ultimate Team pick Grace Geyoro after her move from PSG to London City Lionesses (however that does mean she now no longer links with male PSG players), as well as Chelsea defender Naomi Girma who was the first women’s player to be transferred for more than $1 million.

These ratings come after the top 26 male and female players from every league around the world were revealed earlier this week, with Lamine Yamal seeing a huge +8 upgrade while Mo Salah and Kylian Mbappe claimed the top spots.

The full FC 26 database will be revealed on September 12, but the list of new Icons joining Ultimate Team is already out, including legendary names like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Andres Iniesta and Francesco Totti.

EA Sports FC 26 drops, fittingly, on September 26 for PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo consoles as well as PC.

The full list of the 26 highest rated players in the Premier League and WSL is as follows:
