The first gigawatt deployment begins H1 2027. Beyond hardware, the partnership includes using Claude to optimize workloads for AMD Instinct GPUs and accelerate ROCm software development — AMD's long-struggling alternative to Nvidia's CUDA. Anthropic continues diversifying its compute supply across Google, Amazon, CoreWeave, SpaceX, and now AMD, reducing dependency on any single vendor. For AMD, the equity investment mirrors Nvidia's strategy of taking stakes in AI infrastructure customers to secure hardware demand. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What GPUs will Anthropic use for Claude under the AMD partnership? Anthropic will scale to AMD Instinct MI455X accelerators paired with EPYC Venice CPUs and Pensando networking, deployed in AMD Helios rackscale systems, moving beyond the MI355X GPUs it already uses. AMD commits to deploying up to 2 gigawatts of these MI450 Series GPUs, with the first gigawatt shipping in the first half of 2027. _Teams evaluating GPU vendor options for AI workloads can track hardware shifts like this on daily.dev._ ### How much is AMD investing in Anthropic and what does Anthropic give in return? AMD will invest up to $5 billion in Anthropic as part of a strategic partnership, in exchange for Anthropic deploying up to 2 gigawatts of AMD Instinct MI450 Series GPUs to run Claude. Claude will also be used to optimize workloads for AMD hardware and accelerate ROCm software development, while AMD adopts Claude across its own engineering teams. _Following AI infrastructure deals like this helps developers gauge which chip ecosystems to bet on, a topic daily.dev keeps in view._ ### Why has AMD struggled to compete with Nvidia in AI GPU adoption despite competitive specs? AMD's ROCm software has lagged behind Nvidia's CUDA, and that software gap has been the primary reason AI developers default to Nvidia hardware even when AMD's chip specifications are competitive. The Anthropic partnership aims to close this gap by having Claude help accelerate ROCm's development and improve its developer experience. _Developers weighing ROCm against CUDA for GPU workloads can follow how this gap evolves via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Google to invest up to $40B in Anthropic as Claude outsells Gemini in the enterprise market it needs most](https://daily.dev/posts/google-to-invest-up-to-40b-in-anthropic-as-claude-outsells-gemini-in-the-enterprise-market-it-needs-8kwtmpjgh) · The Next Web · 3 upvotes · 0 comments - [Amazon and Anthropic deepen AI ties with a $100B AWS commitment](https://daily.dev/posts/amazon-and-anthropic-deepen-ai-ties-with-a-100b-aws-commitment-eh3kyhbjr) · The New Stack · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#claude](https://daily.dev/tags/claude), [#anthropic](https://daily.dev/tags/anthropic), [#amd](https://daily.dev/tags/amd), [#ai-infrastructure](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-infrastructure), [#rocm](https://daily.dev/tags/rocm) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/amd-is-investing-5-billion-in-anthropic-and-deploying-2-gigawatts-of-helios-gpus-to-run-claude-ucsqlzw5e) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"AMD is investing $5 billion in Anthropic and deploying 2 gigawatts of Helios GPUs to run Claude","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/amd-is-investing-5-billion-in-anthropic-and-deploying-2-gigawatts-of-helios-gpus-to-run-claude-ucsqlzw5e","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/amd-is-investing-5-billion-in-anthropic-and-deploying-2-gigawatts-of-helios-gpus-to-run-claude-ucsqlzw5e"},"datePublished":"2026-07-23T17:41:43.327Z","dateModified":"2026-09-13T21:19:29.697Z","description":"AMD and Anthropic have announced a strategic partnership in which AMD will invest up to $5 billion in Anthropic and deploy up to 2 gigawatts of MI450 Series...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/1ffa21b7d0a00b537535ae878b101a3a?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/1ffa21b7d0a00b537535ae878b101a3a?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Next Web","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Next Web","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/tnw","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/amd-is-investing-5-billion-in-anthropic-and-deploying-2-gigawatts-of-helios-gpus-to-run-claude-ucsqlzw5e","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"claude,anthropic,amd,ai-infrastructure,rocm","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Next Web","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"AMD is investing $5 billion in Anthropic and deploying 2 gigawatts of Helios GPUs to run Claude"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/amd-is-investing-5-billion-in-anthropic-and-deploying-2-gigawatts-of-helios-gpus-to-run-claude-ucsqlzw5e#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What GPUs will Anthropic use for Claude under the AMD partnership?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Anthropic will scale to AMD Instinct MI455X accelerators paired with EPYC Venice CPUs and Pensando networking, deployed in AMD Helios rackscale systems, moving beyond the MI355X GPUs it already uses.
