AMD will invest up to $5 billion in Anthropic, which will purchase up to 2 gigawatts of Instinct MI450 chips. AMD has reached an agreement with Anthropic to sign an artificial intelligence server purchase contract worth tens of billions of dollars. This transaction will consolidate AMD’s competitive advantage in catching up with industry leader Nvidia, while providing Anthropic with much-needed computing resources. According to the terms of the agreement, starting from the first half of 2027, Anthropic can purchase AMD’s new generation Instinct MI450 chips with a total computing power of up to 2 gigawatts. AMD will also invest up to US$5 billion in Anthropic. This is AMD’s first investment in this AI company, and the investment will be linked to the agreed computing power deployment goals. AMD CEO Su Zifeng said: "We very much hope to be deeply involved in the construction of its computing infrastructure." She also revealed that the engineering teams of both parties have been conducting joint research and development for some time. Anthropic currently uses chips from multiple manufacturers to carry out computing tasks, including Google tensor processors (TPUs), Amazon Trainium chips, and NVIDIA graphics processors (GPUs). Su Zifeng said that according to this cooperation arrangement, Anthropic will purchase AMD chips to deploy its own data center on the one hand, and will also rent some computing resources through large cloud manufacturers and AI computing power new cloud service providers. AMD is currently working with Anthropic to select sites and plan the data center where these chips will be deployed.
