AMD-Based Solutions: The TCO Advantage You Can't Ignore

abstract background

AI infrastructure costs are rarely straightforward, and TCO is harder to calculate than most vendors let on. In this interactive session with our expert, bring your architecture, your constraints, and your real deployment questions. We'll walk through how AMD-based solutions factor into TCO decisions across compute, power, and software and help you build a sharper framework for evaluating what makes sense for your environment. Guidance over pitch. Your questions drive the conversation.

  • 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.

  • Creating CPU Inference and Agentic Performance Transparency

    Your finance team doesn't care about tokens per second. They care about predictable costs, compliance risk, and vendor lock-in. With agentic AI, the metrics for tracking success are even more complex. But benchmarks don't answer the question that actually matters: Should you undertake this effort and is it viable for your business? In this interactive technical discussion, we’ll break down the tradeoffs, work through the math, and pressure-test the strategy together.;Your finance team doesn't care about tokens per second.

  • Benchmarking AI Systems: from Model Metrics to Real-World Performance

    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.;The agentic AI stack has evolved to fast multi-model orchestration, tool-augmented reasoning, and long-running inference chains.
