AMD’s Helios AI Platform Emerges as Open Compute Contender at Industry Summit

AMD unveiled its Helios rack-scale AI platform at the 2025 OCP Summit, leveraging Meta’s Open Rack Wide standard. The system emphasizes liquid cooling, Ethernet-based scaling, and open interoperability for next-generation AI workloads. Industry observers are watching whether the design will achieve broad adoption beyond early partners like Oracle.

Open Rack Design Targets AI Infrastructure Demands

At the recent 2025 Open Compute Project Global Summit, AMD introduced its Helios rack-scale AI platform, built on Meta Platforms‘ newly contributed Open Rack Wide specification. According to reports, the double-wide framework aims to improve power efficiency, cooling, and serviceability for large-scale artificial intelligence systems. Analysts suggest the design represents a significant shift toward open, interoperable data center infrastructure, though practical industry-wide adoption remains uncertain.
