Zyphra says it’s rolling out a large training cluster of AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs on IBM Cloud — another real workload away from total Nvidia dependence.
What’s new
IBM, AMD and Zyphra announced a multi-year collaboration to stand up one of the largest AMD MI300X clusters on IBM Cloud for large-scale model training.

Why it matters
- Second source scaling: A serious MI300X footprint gives large labs a credible non-Nvidia path for training capacity.
- Ecosystem maturity: Software stacks (ROCm, libraries, schedulers) continue to harden as deployments move from pilots to production.
Context
Training economics hinge on the whole stack — memory, interconnect, compilers — not just TOPS. For our framework on when NPUs help and when GPU bandwidth rules, see
