The artificial intelligence (AI) has become the new operating system and the cornerstone of almost every application, both existing and new. This is what Linda Yang, Senior Solutions Manager at Supermicro, with nearly 20 years of experience in Silicon Valley, affirms.
Emerging Trends in AI Development
According to Yang, three main trends are driving the transformation in AI development:
The expansion of the general-purpose model
Integration of domain expert models into enterprise applications
Development of new model architectures
These trends are leading companies to require an AI infrastructure that can keep up with these rapid changes.
Providers’ Response to the Changing AI Landscape
Providers have responded by creating new types of infrastructures. Some are designed to accommodate massive models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT-5, while others are developed to deliver optimized performance for specific tasks, particularly for AI inference workloads.
Supermicro’s Approach
“Customers are adopting a tailored approach and choosing hardware that aligns with their specific workload requirements,” explains Yang. “Supermicro’s goal is to accelerate our customers’ AI initiatives, reduce time to market, and fully realize the potential of their AI investments sustainably.”
The Importance of Sustainability
Yang highlights the growing importance of energy efficiency in AI development. According to cited statistics, data center energy consumption has seen double-digit growth in the past two years due to AI, and is expected to reach 1000 terawatts by 2027.
Collaboration between Supermicro and AMD
Linda Yang praises AMD’s advancements in server processor technologies and notes that Supermicro has integrated AMD EPYC server processors and AMD Instinct GPU family into Supermicro’s HPC and AI accelerator solutions.
“Over the years, we have optimized the integration process, manufacturing supply chain, and our marketing strategy, so we deliver the best value to our customers together,” Yang states.
Conclusion
The collaboration between Supermicro and AMD is enabling the delivery of sustainable solutions to meet the growing demand for data center infrastructure, combining AMD’s leading performance with Supermicro’s liquid cooling technology to create a sustainable infrastructure for AI, cloud computing, data science, data analytics, and more.
