AMD Advancing AI 2026

What this countdown tracks

The clock above counts down to AMD Advancing AI 2026, AMD's annual AI infrastructure event, scheduled for July 22-23, 2026 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. The keynote from AMD CEO Lisa Su anchors the morning of July 22 at 09:00 PT.

About this event

Advancing AI is AMD's flagship moment for the data center AI portfolio: Instinct GPUs, EPYC server CPUs, ROCm software, Pensando networking, and the rack-scale platforms that anchor AMD's competitive position against NVIDIA. The format is a Lisa Su opening keynote, technical deep dives from data-center leadership, partner keynotes (Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, OpenAI, hyperscalers), and a developer-focused second day.

The 2026 edition arrives with the MI400 series on the immediate horizon, the Helios rack-scale platform in production, and ROCm increasingly competitive with CUDA on day-one PyTorch and Triton support. Expect customer disclosures from major training clusters and a clearer multi-year roadmap through MI500.

What to expect

Lisa Su's keynote is expected to centre on the Instinct MI400 family, EPYC Venice CPUs, ROCm 8 / 9 software stack progress, the Helios rack-scale platform's next iteration, and Pensando DPU updates. Customer keynotes from major AI labs and hyperscalers anchor credibility, and partner appearances from frontier-model labs are likely.

Day two focuses on developers: ROCm tooling, kernel libraries, model bring-up workflows, and partnerships with PyTorch, vLLM, and Hugging Face.
