Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and OpenAI have entered into a multi-year partnership to deploy up to 6 gigawatts of AMD's Instinct GPUs, aiming to enhance AI infrastructure and capabilities. The initial deployment of 1 gigawatt is scheduled for the second half of 2026, utilizing AMD's next-generation Instinct MI450 Series GPUs.
Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of OpenAI, stated, "This partnership is a major step in building the compute capacity needed to realize AI’s full potential." Jean Hu, AMD's Executive Vice President and CFO, noted, "Our partnership with OpenAI is expected to deliver tens of billions of dollars in revenue for AMD while accelerating OpenAI’s AI infrastructure buildout."
As part of the agreement, OpenAI has been granted a warrant to purchase up to 160 million shares of AMD's common stock at $0.01 per share. The vesting of these warrants is tied to specific purchasing milestones and AMD's share price targets.
This collaboration is expected to significantly impact the AI hardware landscape, positioning AMD as a key player in AI infrastructure and providing OpenAI with the necessary computing power to advance its AI models.
