I recently had the pleasure of speaking about the future of AI, large language models (LLM) and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) with my colleague, Meena Arunachalam,  AMD AI Systems Engineering Director and Fellow. We were able to pack a lot into our discussion, so I have highlighted just a handful of Meena’s invaluable insights and recommendations in this blog post.  For more detail, you can listen to the podcast here . 

The confluence of high performance, highly efficient hardware and market leading, run-the-business software means productivity and innovation.  Ashish Ray of Oracle recently joined the AMD TechTalk podcast to share his thoughts on technology and business.  This article provides a summary of some of his key points.

There is no one set journey to AI enablement.  AI (and the infrastructure to run it) will take many forms. Many enterprises will follow different paths based on their specific goals, business and technical priorities and other considerations. But no matter where your enterprise is ultimately headed in the AI era, AMD EPYC processor-powered servers offer the platform to take you there as your needs evolve.

This week at the Open Compute EU Summit in Amsterdam I had the pleasure of rolling out along with ZT Systems and Microsoft, a powerful new addition to the AMD EPYC processor ecosystem. A leading provider to hyperscale datacenters, ZT Systems delivers outstanding performance and value for GPU computing and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) with their new expansion system built on AMD Radeon Instinct GPUs. The support of Microsoft and its Project Olympus platform is the underlying foundation that ties the solution together.
