AMD and OpenAI Announce 6 Gigawatt AI Compute Partnership
AMD, a leader in high-performance computing, has joined forces with OpenAI, a pioneering research company in artificial intelligence. What’s more, together, they have announced a groundbreaking partnership to deploy 6 gigawatts of AMD GPUs (graphics processing units). Eventually, this multi-year, multi-generation agreement will power OpenAI’s next-generation AI infrastructure.
At first, the partnership kicks off with the start of 1 gigawatt of AMD Instinct MI450 GPUs slated for the second half of 2026. Certainly, this installation marks the start of a massive scale-up that promises to reshape AI computing power worldwide.
We are thrilled to partner with OpenAI to deliver AI compute at massive scale, said Dr. Lisa Su, chair and CEO of AMD. This collaboration empowers the world’s most ambitious AI project.
OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman stressed the critical role of this alliance in building future AI technology. He stated, AMD’s leadership in high-performance chips enables us to accelerate progress and bring advanced AI benefits faster to everyone.
As can be seen, this deal goes beyond hardware supply. Both companies will work closely on software optimization as well as product roadmaps. This ensures that technologies evolve hand-in-hand for peak performance and innovation at every generation.
The agreement also includes strategic stock warrants from AMD to OpenAI based on milestones achieved. This aligns their interests financially and technologically while promoting shared success throughout the partnership’s period.
Closing Remarks
Analysts predict this collaboration could generate tens of billions of dollars in revenue for AMD alone. It reinforces AMD’s standing as a powerhouse in optimizing large-scale AI compute infrastructure worldwide.
Together, AMD and OpenAI are building the facility for future artificial intelligence breakthroughs at an unprecedented scale. Their combined technological strength will speed up advances across industries relying on intelligent systems.
