History

Historical Context

Large-scale compute deals have shaped AI growth since Microsoft poured $1 billion into OpenAI in 2019 and added $10 billion in 2023. AMD followed with an October 2025 multi-billion pact to supply up to 6 GW of Instinct GPUs and a possible 10 % equity stake. The new AMD-Anthropic agreement, worth up to $5 billion for 2 GW of MI450 accelerators, extends this hardware-funding trend.
