AMD Advancing AI 2026

Red Hat and AMD partner together to focus on optimizing AI workloads and virtualized infrastructure across hybrid cloud environments. By combining Red Hat's open-source platforms with AMD's EPYC CPUs and Instinct GPUs, the collaboration allows data centers to efficiently run intensive AI models alongside traditional virtual machines. 

Core Pillars of the Collaboration

• AI Integration: AMD Instinct GPUs are fully supported on Red Hat OpenShift AI, enabling scalable machine learning and large language model (LLM) deployments across on-premises, edge, and public cloud infrastructure. ]
• Virtualized Performance: Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is validated for high-core count AMD EPYC processors, allowing enterprises to run containerized applications and legacy VMs on the same hardware to cut costs. 
• vLLM Optimization: Red Hat and AMD are actively contributing to the upstream vLLM community to enhance inference performance, improve collective multi-GPU communication, and lower the barrier to entry for enterprise AI. 
• RHEL AI: RHEL AI is certified to run inference natively on AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs.
