The initial deployment of 1 gigawatt using AMD Instinct MI450 GPUs<\/b> is scheduled to commence in the latter half of 2026, aligning with the timeline of the Nvidia-OpenAI<\/b> agreement.<\/p>\n

In a significant move for AMD<\/b>, the company has issued OpenAI<\/b> a warrant for up to 160 million shares of AMD common stock<\/b>, designed to vest as specific milestones are achieved, as stated in the press release.
