Hi there, recently i've started working with some LLMs and I need AVX2 CPU feature enabled, but in my hackintosh environment isn't enabled for some reason. Is there any way to enable it? On Windows the AVX2 feature is enabled
Any way to enable AVX2 in Sequoia?

Hello Guest. Before you post check the Troubleshooting guide here, Dortania Troubleshooting
To my knowledge, Apple's Rosetta 2 translation layer does not support AVX2 instructions on Intel Macs. So I would assume it will be the same for your AMD hack.
What does Terminal show when you run this command:
sysctl -a | grep cpu.feat
My Ryzen 9 5900X shows the following list of CPU Features/instruction sets.
FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 HTT SSE3 PCLMULQDQ MON SSSE3 FMA CX16 SSE4.1 SSE4.2 x2APIC MOVBE POPCNT AES XSAVE OSXSAVE AVX1.0 RDRAND F16C
Only AVX1.0 is shown. Even though Windows will show AVX2 as being present and enabled.
It is one way for Apple to push people to buying an Apple Silicon system. As some Adobe software and probably others as well require AVX2 or the equivalent Arm instruction set for their latest releases to work.

Not sure if this link is of interest to you. It is a few years old but may be relevant if you are using VMware.
