Technical Dive into AMD MLPerf Inference v6.1 Submission

MLPerf Inference v6.1 results were released on September 16, 2026. For AMD, this was a highly successful round in which we achieved several leadership scores, expanded benchmark coverage, introduced a new GPU with validated performance, and enabled record-setting results from our partners. In this round, AMD and its partners provided validated results across a diverse set of workloads, including dlrm-v3 (Deep Learning Recommendation Model v3), llama2-70b (Meta’s 70-billion-parameter language model), gpt-oss-120b (an open-weight 120-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model), deepseek-r1 (DeepseekAI’s 671-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model), and Wan 2.2-t2v (a 14-billion-parameter text-to-video generation model). Single-node results used 8 GPUs per node; gpt-oss-120b was additionally submitted at multi-node scale across 72 AMD Instinct^™ MI355X GPUs. All results were validated through MLPerf peer review.
