AMD-backed Vultr to build $1 billion AI chip cluster in Ohio

Cloud provider Vultr, supported by AMD, is set to invest $1 billion in a new AI chip cluster in Ohio.

This massive investment aims to diversify the AI hardware ecosystem, offering an alternative to Nvidia's dominance and boosting US domestic AI capacity.

Vultr, with AMD's backing, will build a $1 billion AI chip cluster in Ohio, utilizing AMD accelerators to provide AI compute services. This initiative, a public-private partnership, seeks to promote economic development in the US Midwest and reduce reliance on a single AI hardware vendor, aligning with US industrial policy to enhance domestic AI infrastructure. It also positions Vultr as a flexible, mid-market AI cloud provider.
