AMD has announced it will invest up to $5 billion in Anthropic as part of a deal that will see the AI company deploy up to 2GW of AMD Instinct MI450 Series GPUs.
The GPUs will sit alongside AMD Epyc Venice CPUs and AMD Pensando networking technology in the chip giant’s forthcoming Helios rackscale solution.

In a statement, AMD said Anthropic plans to deploy the first gigawatt in H1 2027, adding that it builds on the company’s existing use of AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs. Details about the planned location of the deployment were not provided.
The agreement will also see AMD use Anthropic’s Claude to support software development and optimize GPU workloads, with the company’s engineering and product development teams also set to “broadly adopt” the AI model.
