AMD has introduced Helion, an open rack-scale infrastructure design for agentic artificial intelligence workloads, offering configurations that combine central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs), as well as CPU-only systems for large-scale deployments.

Announced on October 12, the AMD Helion platform is based on an Open Compute Project (OCP) specification design. It is intended to help data centre operators and enterprises configure computing resources according to the requirements of AI agents, including execution, model inference and supporting workloads.

The platform will support different rack configurations, including air-cooled and liquid-cooled systems. One configuration, designed for hyperscale deployments, will use sixth-generation AMD EPYC processors and support up to 32,768 CPU cores. Another will combine AMD EPYC CPUs, AMD Instinct MI350P GPUs and general-purpose computing resources for enterprise deployments.

“Agentic AI is not a single workload. It spans personal agents, enterprise applications, code execution and complex workflows, each with different compute...
