Semiconductor maker AMD will supply its chips to artificial intelligence<\/a> company OpenAI<\/a> as part of an agreement to team up on building artificial intelligence infrastructure, the companies said Monday.<\/p>\n

OpenAI will also get the option to buy as much as a 10% stake in AMD, according to a joint statement announcing the deal. It’s the latest deal for the ChatGPT maker as it races to beef up its AI computing resources.<\/p>\n

Under the terms of the deal, OpenAI<\/a> will buy the latest version of the company’s high performance graphics chips, the Instinct MI450, which is expected to debut next year.<\/p>\n

The agreement calls for supplying 6 gigawatts of computing power for OpenAI\u2019s \u201cnext generation\u201d AI infrastructure, with the first batch of chips worth 1 gigawatt to be deployed in the second half of 2026.<\/p>\n

AMD also issued OpenAI with a warrant allowing the AI company to buy up to 160 million shares of AMD\u2019s common stock. That amounts to about 10% of company based on AMD’s 1.6 billion outstanding shares. The warrant will vest based on two milestones tied to the amount of computing power deployed, as well as unspecified \u201cshare-price targets.”<\/p>\n

Shares of AMD spiked 25% before the opening bell Monday. Shares of Nvidia<\/a>, which have repeatedly set new record-highs this year, fell slightly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership is a major step in building the compute capacity needed to realize AI\u2019s full potential,\u201d OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, said in a news release. \u201cAMD\u2019s leadership in high-performance chips will enable us to accelerate progress and bring the benefits of advanced AI to everyone faster.\u201d<\/p>\n

The deal is a boost for Santa Clara, Calif.-based AMD, which has been left behind by rival Nvidia<\/a>. But it also hints at OpenAI’s desire to diversify its supply chain away from Nvidia’s dominance. The AI boom has fuelled demand for Nvidia’s graphics processing chips, sending its shares soaring and making it the world’s most valuable company.<\/p>\n

Last month, OpenAI and Nvidia<\/a> announced a $100 billion partnership that will add at least 10 gigawatts of data center computing power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Semiconductor maker AMD will supply its chips to artificial intelligence company OpenAI as part of an agreement to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":63391,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[220,4582,218,219,9060,61,60,233,1682,43563,80],"class_list":["post-63390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-ai-company","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-computing-power","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-nvidia","tag-openai","tag-semiconductor-maker","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63390"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63390\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
