AMD is committing $5 billion to Anthropic and is supplying 2 gigawatts of Helios GPUs for running Claude.
**Summary:** AMD plans to invest up to $5 billion in Anthropic and deploy 2GW of MI450 GPUs, with the first gigawatt shipping in the first half of 2027. Anthropic is already utilizing MI355X GPUs. The partnership focuses on using Claude to enhance ROCm development and optimize workloads for AMD GPUs. This collaboration may have a greater impact than the hardware itself. Anthropic is diversifying its compute strategy, collaborating with Google, Broadcom, Amazon, CoreWeave, and SpaceX, which diminishes reliance on a single chip provider. AMD’s investment strategy mirrors Nvidia’s, aimed at ensuring its chips are preferred in AI model development. Lisa Su described it as pivotal for the future of AI infrastructure, with the initial gigawatt determining Helios's competitiveness against Nvidia’s offerings.
