On Talos “configurator” I see this
AMD Radeon Pro W7600 Workstation Graphics
AMD Radeon Pro WX9100 Workstation Graphics
cpu which need proprietary firmware are “marked” with (Proprietary)
for example
NVIDIA Quadro GV100 32GB GPU (Proprietary)
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 GPU (Proprietary)
I have serious doubt AMD/ATI release something with free firmware, but I wait for confirm.
p.s= I also see the price list, the GPU cost 3000$ and more, the workstation Talos II start from 10000!
A interesting discussion about Intel ME, amd psp and similar
I heard some proprietary bios can disable Amd PSP, but I never saw a proof (a video for example) so no proof, no fact!
I do not think it works Libre.
Many many people still have not realized/knowing that Linux is a Villain, not just for Gnu but for Users. That is why we should use Hero GnuLinux instead of the Linux.
Purism forum is not Blue but Green to tell the truth, however human like Blue naturally(not me), because do not want to know the truth that we are going to die, then just ignore it, like ignoring the massive Linux BLOBs, BLOATs.
Nobody takes care of us, they just throw us into the labyrinth or even worse a maze, the only way to escape is to decrypt the labyrinth.
Works.
All hardware in the list is personal tested by me.
Share$ ls /lib/firmware

Atm I cannot because i’m on home-vacation. I will return to home on Wednesday-Tuesday (4 days 
). But I test it on Slackware (which has proprietary firmware package, currently, but I will remove soon) using Libre kernel, and also tested on a Libre-kernel distribution (Trisquel, but I’m not sure), anyway wait 4-5 days and I will report more precisely.
I have success in Libre-kernel distribution and Slackware using 6.15.6-gnu
A new project for 8852bu GitHub - morrownr/rtw89: Linux drivers for Realtek Wi-Fi 6/6E and Wi-Fi 7 adapters and cards I will try soon with libre kernel and I will report, just 4-5 days

WIFI

What exactly would constitute proof?
Even on Intel with the HAP bit set to tell the Intel ME to “go away”, it is doubtful that you can prove that it is not just hanging around in stealth mode. This is a fundamental problem with blackbox software (in this case the software that runs on the Intel ME CPU).
A proof is a video, a study, a research, a proof is something that you can show. I agree with you there is no 100% safety about the infamous ME, atm the best practice is to use outdated amd cpu with gnu-boot, or be rich and buy Raptor products, or wait for another solution. When I bought products with Amd ryzen and Intel I don’t know nothing about me or psp 
I know only after
But better later then never, personally I will never bought any product which is not free (no psp, no me and no proprietary firmware), I also compile a list of hardware supported by the free bios and free kernel.

update list of tested hardware add 3 cards: two wifi, one ethernet
Hi, people!
An opinion about this motherboard, is supported by gnu-boot
It fine, it is a RYF AMD Computer from 2012, however there is a new promise via AMD Opensil for next year 2026 Ryzen “Medusa” Zen 6 which will be Gnuboot compat. or Ryzen “Phoenix” for sooner Proof-of-Concept.
I would like that Librem 14 to move to Ryzen “Phoenix”, to get GNU RYF.
What I read! Seems impossible, personally I don’t trust Amd as Intel and other Bigs, but if is compatible with gnu-boot…we have to trust, no proprietary firmware, no party, good. 
Just a question: where did you read this platform will be supported by gnu-boot?
I said it will compatible for Gnuboot support.

IBM 9111-285 (works with gnu-libre, NO gnu-boot or other free bios, very outdated, slow but usable, cpu with serious hw bugs still not fixed, kernel 6.* is not recommended because can hang on boot), a notice: is very old hw, it belong to another era in which states don’t use amd psp, intel me and other shit to track users, so I think even without a libre firmware is more safe than more modern hardware with coreboot (and proprietary firmware loaded), PROBABLY!
WIFI
