AMD is investing $5 billion in Anthropic and deploying 2 gigawatts of Helios GPUs to run Claude
TL;DR
AMD will invest up to $5B in Anthropic and deploy 2GW of MI450 GPUs. Claude will accelerate ROCm development. First GW ships H1 2027. Anthropic already uses MI355X GPUs.
AMD and Anthropic announced a strategic partnership on Tuesday that commits AMD to invest up to $5 billion in Anthropic and deploy up to 2 gigawatts of AMD Instinct MI450 Series GPUs in Helios rackscale solutions to run Claude. Deployment of the first gigawatt begins in the first half of 2027. Anthropic is already using AMD’s MI355X GPUs and will now scale to MI455X accelerators paired with EPYC “Venice” CPUs and Pensando networking.
The engineering collaboration may matter more than the hardware. AMD and Anthropic will use Claude to optimise workloads for AMD Instinct GPUs and accelerate ROCm software development. AMD will also adopt Claude broadly across its engineering and product development teams. ROCm is AMD’s answer to...
