AMD and Anthropic announced a strategic partnership to deploy up to 2 gigawatts of AMD Instinct MI450 Series GPUs in AMD Helios rack-scale solutions, with deployment of the first gigawatt beginning in the first half of 2027. Anthropic will deploy AMD Helios rack-scale solutions featuring AMD Instinct MI455X GPUs, AMD EPYC “Venice” CPUs, AMD Pensando networking and ROCm software, building on its existing use of AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs. The companies are also launching a multi-year engineering collaboration to use Claude to accelerate AMD software development, optimize workloads for AMD Instinct GPUs, and accelerate ROCm software development, with AMD broadly adopting Claude across its engineering and product development teams. AMD has committed to make a strategic equity investment of up to $5 billion in Anthropic in the future. The announcement marks a major milestone in the partnership, combining gigawatt-scale deployment and deep engineering collaboration to accelerate next-generation AI infrastructure.
