Artificial intelligence has enjoyed a meteoric rise in popularity, from science fiction to real-world use within just a few years. But how does AI work, behind the buzzwords? If you are confused about how terms like “artificial intelligence,” “deep learning,” and “neural net” relate to each other or want to better understand what sets generative AI apart from other types of AI, you’ve come to the right place.

I’m excited to share that today, AMD has completed the acquisition of Nod.ai - further expanding our open-source AI software capabilities. We are thrilled to welcome Nod.ai’s talented team of AI software experts to the AMD Artificial Intelligence Group (AIG).   

AMD is committed to industry standard benchmarks – fully transparent, peer-reviewed or independently audited, verifiable, and full disclosure reports to reproduce our results. We are proud of our 300+ world records across a diverse set of important workload areas.

We are happy to announce the new availability of the TensorFlow-ZenDNN plug-in for TensorFlow v2.12 and above, improving the accessibility of ZenDNN optimizations for the community via framework upstreaming. Learn more in this blog.

In 2021, AMD announced a new vision - a 30x25 goal - to achieve 30x energy efficiency improvement by 2025 from a 2020 baseline for our accelerated data center compute nodes. Built with AMD EPYC™ CPUs and AMD Instinct™ accelerators, these nodes are designed for some of the world’s fastest-growing computing needs in AI training and HPC Applications. We plan to share updates annually on where we stand, and this is our first progress report on 30x25.
