AMD reveals vision for open AI ecosystem – Entelechy Asia
AMD has unveiled a vision for an open, integrated AI ecosystem at its Advancing AI 2025 event in San Jose, where it also introduced new silicon, software, and rack-scale systems designed to accelerate the next wave of AI innovation. It showcased its new Instinct MI350 Series GPUs, next-generation Helios rack-scale AI platform, and the ROCm 7 open-source software stack, all aimed at delivering unmatched performance, flexibility, and energy efficiency for AI workloads. 
AMD's Innovations
“AMD is driving AI innovation at an unprecedented pace, highlighted by the launch of our AMD Instinct MI350 series accelerators, advances in our next generation AMD Helios rack-scale solutions, and growing momentum for our ROCm open software stack,” said Dr Lisa Su, Chair and CEO of AMD.
Strategic Partnerships
AMD’s event was marked by strong endorsements and technical partnerships with major AI players. These developments signal a major escalation in the competition to power the future of AI. By pushing open standards, AMD is positioning itself as the champion of a collaborative, interoperable AI ecosystem.
Comparison with NVIDIA
This approach mirrors what NVIDIA Founder and CEO Jensen Huang shared in his keynote address at Computex 2025 in Taipei. He announced then that NVIDIA would allow customers to deploy rival chips within data centers built around NVIDIA’s technology — a notable departure from the company’s proprietary approach. The move acknowledges the growing trend of major cloud providers and technology companies, such as Microsoft and Amazon, developing their own in-house AI chips and seeking greater flexibility in their infrastructure choices. 
Future of AI
AMD’s emphasis on open collaboration and energy efficiency is likely to accelerate innovation, lower barriers for new entrants, and foster a more diverse and resilient AI ecosystem. “The future of AI is not going to be built by any one company or in a closed ecosystem. It’s going to be shaped by open collaboration across the industry,” said Su.
