AMD and Anthropic today announced a strategic partnership to deploy up to 2 gigawatts of AMD Instinct MI450 Series GPUs in AMD Helios rackscale solutions, with deployment of the first gigawatt beginning in the first half of 2027. The extraordinary pace of AI adoption is driving rapid growth in demand for training and inference capacity. Anthropic is scaling its compute infrastructure to serve strong and growing demand for Claude, and its adoption of AMD Helios at gigawatt scale represents a major expansion of AMD's position at the center of the global AI infrastructure buildout.
Anthropic will deploy AMD Helios rackscale solutions featuring AMD Instinct MI455X GPUs, part of the AMD Instinct MI450 Series, together with AMD EPYC "Venice" CPUs, AMD Pensando networking and AMD ROCm software. Purpose-built for next-generation AI training and inference, Helios delivers the performance, efficiency and scale required for the most demanding AI workloads. This deployment builds on Anthropic's existing use of AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs.
