Vultr will offer AMD's Instinct MI455X graphics processors and support AMD's Helios rack-scale system, making it among the first cloud providers to make the new hardware available. The move expands Vultr's artificial intelligence infrastructure as cloud providers compete to attract companies training models and running inference workloads. It is taking pre-orders for reserved capacity tied to the new systems, with deployments planned across 2027 and 2028. AMD's latest products target customers that need large clusters of accelerators for AI and high-performance computing. Vultr said the systems will support AI training, inference, fine-tuning, agentic AI and scientific computing. Helios is designed as a rack-scale configuration that can support 72 GPUs. Vultr will incorporate direct liquid cooling options for denser deployments in response to the heat and power demands of large-scale AI systems. J.J. Kardwell, Chief Executive Officer of Vultr, said demand is changing. "Customers are rapidly moving from AI experimentation into production, and increasingly that means agentic and inference-heavy workloads that require infrastructure built for scale," Kardwell said. AMD said the Instinct MI455X is built on its CDNA architecture and includes HBM4 memory, higher memory bandwidth, and support for lower-precision AI data types.
