ROCm 10.0: A Decade of Open Compute, Built for the Age of Agentic AI
- 27 August 2026
AMD shipped ROCm 1.0 in April 2016: an open-source GPU compute stack built around a C++ compiler and a GPU programming language called HIP, aimed at high-performance computing. A decade later, the same platform trains and serves frontier AI models across industries and enables nearly every compute application benefiting from GPUs.
Introducing AMD CDNA™ 5 and the AMD Helios™ Rackscale Solution
- 04 August 2026
AI infrastructure is being redefined at the scale of the entire rack. This blog will walk you through how the AMD CDNA™ 5 architecture, the AMD Instinct™ MI455X GPU, and the AMD Helios rackscale solution come together as a single open platform for large-scale AI training and inference. You will see how AMD balances compute, memory, and networking across 72 GPUs, how open standards keep the platform flexible, and how the AMD ROCm™ software stack ties it all into a complete, deployable system, from silicon to rack. By the end, you will understand what changes when AI infrastructure is designed as a unified rack rather than a collection of discrete GPU servers, and where AMD is taking it next.
