I use ROCM extensively (I write, design and train my own AIs/LLMs) and it’s annoying of an acronym, especially in command lines: --rocm-6.6.7.2-dev1 --cuda But I figure it’s a four letter acronym to match “CUDA”.

Well,

Given the context, I choose to believe smth means “shaking my tiny head”.
yes, what else should it mean?
shaking my (trademark) head?
Well, didn’t think about that
