AMD
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is an American semiconductor company headquartered in Santa Clara, California, primarily designing and selling microprocessors (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), and related chip products. Its products are widely used in personal computers, servers, gaming consoles, and data centers. AMD operates as a fabless company, focusing on chip architecture development, and is one of the principal suppliers in the global x86 processor and discrete graphics card markets.
Core Facts
ROCm is AMD's open-source software platform for high-performance computing and AI workloads, including the HIP programming interface, which allows CUDA code to be ported to AMD GPUs at relatively low cost.
llama.cpp is a highly optimized C++ inference engine that supports Metal acceleration for Apple Silicon, CUDA acceleration for NVIDIA, and ROCm acceleration for AMD.
Both the NVIDIA H100/H200 and the AMD MI300X integrate HBM.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Anthropic tripled its 2028 AMD GPU orders to 3,000 megawatts, and OpenAI raised its AMD deployment plan to 8,000-9,000 megawatts.
Vulkan is a cross-vendor graphics and compute API; through its compute extensions, inference engines can run on AMD integrated GPUs, offering broader compatibility but slightly lower peak performance than ROCm.
AMD, in collaboration with the vLLM Semantic Router team, launched the d3-ultra model.
If Vela 3.0 has been optimized for AMD platforms, that means this routing component can achieve usable inference performance in non-NVIDIA GPU environments.
Vela 3.0 was released by the vLLM Semantic Router, KR Labs, and the AMD team in collaboration.
AMD EPYC is a data-center-oriented x86 server CPU series, mainly handling host duties such as data preprocessing, task scheduling, I/O management, and GPU communication coordination.
Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom intend to purchase up to $5 billion of Meta stock.
Previously, the Windows handheld market was long dominated by solutions such as AMD's Ryzen Z1 series.
A total of 10 chipmakers—including domestic chips such as Ascend and Kunlunxin, as well as NVIDIA and AMD—announced that they are integrating MiniMax's open-source model.
The PyTorch Foundation adopts a neutral multi-party governance model, with members including companies such as Meta, AMD, AWS, Google, Microsoft and NVIDIA as well as academic institutions.
