IBM and AMD Collaborate to Enhance AI Capabilities

In an effort to implement AMD Instinct MI300X accelerators as a service on IBM Cloud, IBM, and AMD have announced a strategic partnership. The service is estimated to be available in the first half of 2025. This initiative is designed to improve the efficacy and efficiency of high-performance computing (HPC) applications and generative AI (Gen AI) models for enterprise clients. The AMD Instinct MI300X accelerators, which are furnished

with 192GB of high-bandwidth memory (HBM3), permit enterprises to operate extensive AI models with fewer GPUs, thereby potentially reducing costs, by supporting large model inferencing and fine-tuning. The collaboration also integrates these accelerators into IBM's Watsonx AI platform and Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI inferencing, offering robust solutions for scaling AI workloads securely across hybrid cloud environments.

Executives from both companies emphasized the importance of delivering flexible, cost-efficient, and scalable AI solutions for enterprise clients. IBM Cloud will leverage its advanced security and compliance capabilities to cater to industries with stringent regulatory requirements. Meanwhile, AMD’s ROCm software and accelerator technologies will provide an open ecosystem to support diverse AI frameworks. The partnership reflects a shared vision to empower enterprises with cutting-edge AI tools, ensuring they can optimize cost and performance while meeting the increasing demand for powerful AI solutions.
