AMD Acquires MK1 to Advance AI Inference Performance and Efficiency

Today, AMD finalized the acquisition of MK1, welcoming their world-class team and marking another key milestone in our strategy to advance AI performance and efficiency across the stack. Based in Mountain View, Calif., MK1 has built an expert team focused on high-speed inference and reasoning-based AI technologies optimized for large-scale deployments. MK1’s Flywheel technology is optimized for AMD hardware and currently serves over 1 trillion tokens a day.

The MK1 team will join the AMD Artificial Intelligence Group, where their technology and expertise will play a key role in advancing our high-speed inference and enterprise AI software stack.

MK1’s Flywheel and comprehension engines are purpose-built to leverage the memory architecture of AMD Instinct™ GPUs, delivering accurate, cost-effective, and fully traceable reasoning at scale. Together, we’ll accelerate the next generation of enterprise AI, enabling customers to automate complex business processes and unlock new opportunities in high-value applications.

This acquisition represents another important step in furthering our broader AI strategy while bolstering our inference and enterprise AI capabilities. By combining MK1’s software innovation with our leading compute capabilities, we’re expanding what’s possible in unlocking AI for everyone.

We're thrilled to welcome the MK1 team to AMD as we advance the future of AI together.
