The acquisition gives AMD access to research on spatial intelligence, an emerging field focused on enabling AI systems to model three-dimensional environments and physical interactions, which could shape future demand for chips, software and AI infrastructure.
"We began a deep technical partnership with AMD last year, starting with model training and inference optimization on AMD GPUs," Li said in a post on LinkedIn.
