Dell, AMD Expand On-Prem AI Platform with Instinct MI350P GPU Support

QuTwo, the Finnish AI lab founded by former AMD Silo AI CEO Peter Sarlin, has raised €25 million in an angel round at a €325 million valuation. Investors include Yuri Milner, Xavier Niel, Nico Rosberg, and founders from Skype, Wolt, and Supercell, among others. The company’s core product, QuTwo OS, is an AI orchestration layer […]

ZAYA1-8B delivers reasoning, mathematics, and coding performance competitive with models many times larger, achieving high intelligence density with under one billion active parameters trained on full-stack AMD infrastructure. SAN FRANCISCO, […] The post Zyphra Releases ZAYA1-8B Reasoning Model appeared first on AIwire.

MRC (Multipath Reliable Connection) is a new open networking protocol developed by OpenAI in partnership with AMD, Broadcom, Intel, Microsoft, and NVIDIA that improves GPU networking performance and resilience in large-scale AI training clusters by spreading packets across hundreds of paths simultaneously, recovering from network failures in microseconds, and enabling supercomputers with over 100,000 GPUs to be built using only two tiers of Ethernet switches.

Zyphra releases ZAYA1-8B, a reasoning Mixture of Experts model with only 760M active parameters that outperforms open-weight models many times its size on math and coding benchmarks — closing in on DeepSeek-V3.2 and surpassing Claude 4.5 Sonnet on HMMT'25 with its novel Markovian RSA test-time compute method. Trained end-to-end on AMD Instinct MI300 hardware and released under Apache 2.0, it sets a new standard for intelligence density in the small language model weight class.

QyTw0, the Finnish AI lab founded by former AMD Silo AI CEO Peter Sarlin, is now valued at €325 million (approximately $380 million) after raising a €25 million angel round ($29 million). It's a sign of enduring tailwinds for AI, quantum computing, and sovereign tech, especially for Europe-made companies.

Bargains are disappearing and the cost of gadgets such as MacBooks and PS5s is rising as AI competes for memory chips The end of the cheap laptop, the bargain phone and affordable games consoles may be on the horizon. Not because new models are more hi-tech, but because the cost of computer components has shot up. Recently, the biggest manufacturers of laptops and phones, including Microsoft, Samsung and Dell, started putting up prices and pulling cheaper models – which is going to make finding budget phones and laptops under £400 much harder.

For decades, the technology industry lived and breathed by the cadence of a few select “can’t-miss” events. We remember the peak of COMDEX, the frenzy of early Macworlds, and, most importantly for the silicon world, the Intel Developer Forum (IDF).

The ongoing shift from generative AI (genAI) to agentic AI provides an opportunity for enterprises to move to more nimble and less expensive forms of computing, according to analysts. Early AI models were largely built on expensive GPUs from Nvidia and AMD that offered raw processing power. But newer agentic AI tools, rooted in business process and workflow management, can run on more efficient, cost-effective hardware. As a result, IT decision-makers who still think they require GPUs for anything AI-related need to reconsider their hardware options in terms of both cost and capabilities, analysts said. “A better way of thinking about this is the cost of AI compute and now agentic AI platform services or systems,” said Leonard Lee, principal analyst at Next Curve. “’AI computing’ or ‘accelerated computing’ has clearly transcended the GPU as an inference accelerator.” The new hardware options include CPUs and specialized AI chips, also known as ASICs in semiconductor parlance.
