Advancing AI 2026

AMD and Microsoft are expanding their AI infrastructure partnership, spanning Helios deployments, new Azure instances powered by EPYC Venice, and advanced AMD networking technologies.

AMD Helios systems will be paired with Cerebras AI compute technology to create a hybrid inference solution that combines high-performance prompt prefill with ultra-fast token generation.

At Advancing AI, AMD and OpenAI demonstrated that their strategic partnership is advancing from roadmap alignment to technical execution.

AT&T is using AMD technologies across cloud, on-premises, and air-gapped environments to support OpenTelco model development and demonstrate flexible enterprise AI deployment.

By combining AMD’s high-performance inference engines with Cisco’s robust networking and observability capabilities, AMD and Cisco are creating a unified, scalable solution that addresses key enterprise concerns: security, cost efficiency, and centralized control.
