As AMD flexes its muscles in the AI game, it is not only introducing new hardware but is betting on software too, trying to hit new market segments not already dominated by Nvidia.
Thus, AMD has unveiled its first small language model, AMD-135M, which belongs to the Llama family and is aimed at private business deployments. It is unclear whether the new model has to do anything with the company's recent acquisition of Silo AI (as the deal has to be finalized and cleared by various authorities, so probably not), but this is a clear step in the direction of addressing the needs of specific customers with a pre-trained model done by AMD - using AMD hardware for inference.
