On the business side, on November 24, 2025, AMD said Zyphra trained ZAYA1, billed as the first large-scale Mixture-of-Experts foundation model trained entirely on an AMD platform, Instinct MI300X GPUs with Pensando networking, enabled by the ROCm open software stack. AMD highlighted that ZAYA1-base outperformed Llama-3-8B and OLMoE across multiple benchmarks and rivaled Qwen3-4B and Gemma3-12B. AMD also noted that MI300X memory capacity simplified training and delivered ~10× faster model save times in Zyphra’s pipeline.

The announcement follows an October collaboration update from IBM and AMD around deploying Instinct MI300X clusters on IBM Cloud for Zyphra; Zyphra’s own release the same day detailed the integrated AMD compute and networking setup used for ZAYA1 training. Together, the materials point to an end-to-end AMD stack — accelerators, networking, and software — powering Zyphra’s training run and technical report.
