As part of the acquisition, AMD will absorb Nod.ai’s talented team, solidifying the company’s commitment to expanding its software portfolio. Nvidia, recognized primarily as a hardware giant and the leading provider of GPUs for AI workloads, also derives its supremacy from its software offerings, especially CUDA and its optimized libraries.
Vamsi Boppana, AMD’s Senior VP for AI, shared, “The acquisition of Nod.ai is expected to significantly enhance our ability to provide AI customers with open software that allows them to easily deploy highly performant AI models tuned for AMD hardware. The addition of the talented Nod.ai team accelerates our ability to advance open-source compiler technology and enable portable, high-performance AI solutions across the AMD product portfolio.”
