• Private cloud provider Vultr is the first to deploy the AMD Instinct MI325X
• The move beats the likes of Google and Microsoft to the punch
• Vultr previously purchased thousands of Instinct MI300X AI accelerators

In October 2024, we reported how Vultr, a leading privately held cloud computing platform, had purchased thousands of AMD’s Instinct MI300X AI accelerators. This move marked a significant expansion of Vultr’s partnership with AMD, and was aimed at providing access to cutting-edge GPUs and the ROCm open software ecosystem.

Now comes the news Vultr, which has been self-funded for over a decade, will be the first cloud provider to deploy AMD’s Instinct MI325X GPU, pipping the likes of Google and Microsoft to the post.
