The event aims to introduce the latest AMD Instinct MI300 data centre GPU accelerator family while showcasing the company's expanding collaboration with AI hardware and software partners. Dr. Lisa Su, Chair and CEO of AMD, will be accompanied by AMD executives, AI ecosystem partners, and customers, engaging in discussions about the transformative impact of AMD products and software on the fields of AI, adaptive computing, and high-performance computing.
Prominent AI startups, including Lamini and Moreh, have embraced AMD MI210 and MI250 systems to fine-tune and deploy custom LLMs. Lamini revealed its big secret this month that it is running its LLMs on AMD’s Instinct GPUs. Databricks has also made a strategic move towards utilising AMD GPUs to elevate their LLM training capabilities, and it is working marvellously for the company.
Databricks said that it is looking ahead with anticipation towards the next-generation AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs. Similarly, Lamini is also eagerly waiting for the launch of MI300X with 192GB of High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM), which will allow its models to run even better.
Interestingly, NVIDIA recently also announced the launch of its HGX H200 AI computer, which would be powering Microsoft's platform as well, along with AWS, Google, and Oracle.
