Agentic AI Needs Open Infrastructure: Here's How to Build It

abstract background

The agentic AI stack has evolved to fast multi-model orchestration, tool-augmented reasoning, and long-running inference chains. The hardware conversation hasn't kept up, and many teams default to one GPU vendor without evaluating alternatives. This interactive session is for builders to learn what they're missing. We'll review head-to-head benchmark data from third-party testing, discuss production-ready serving stacks on ROCm, and break down TCO for teams running multi-step agents at scale.

  • Build an MRI Analysis Agent with AMD Blueprints

    Build and deploy an AI-powered MRI analysis agent in minutes using the AMD mri-doc Solution Blueprint. Run a Gradio-based pipeline that accepts DICOM, NIfTI, and standard image formats, applies tissue segmentation and anomaly detection, and generates LLM-drafted clinical reports on AMD Instinct GPUs. Then customize: swap the LLM AIM, reuse an existing model endpoint, or extend the pipeline for your specific clinical workflow.;Build and deploy an AI-powered MRI analysis agent in minutes using the AMD mri-doc Solution Blueprint.

  • Lessons Learned Training ZAYA1-74B End-to-End on AMD

    ZAYA1-74B is a 74B-parameter MoE (4B active) pretrained and post-trained end-to-end on AMD MI300X. We share what it took: a co-designed stack with CCA attention, expert-context-parallel folding, and sliding-window layers that halve KV cache, plus an RL pipeline that sharpens math and code and hardens multi-turn agentic tool use. The result is a competitive long-context, Apache 2.0 model, proving the full train-to-RL loop runs effectively on AMD.;ZAYA1-74B is a 74B-parameter MoE (4B active) pretrained and post-trained end-to-end on AMD MI300X.
