Joint collaboration between Zyphra, AMD, and IBM delivers ZAYA1, the first large-scale Mixture-of-Experts foundation model trained entirely on an AMD platform using AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs, AMD Pollara networking & ROCm software.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Zyphra today announced a major milestone in its AI infrastructure and model development with the release of a technical report showing how Zyphra has demonstrated large scale training on AMD GPUs and networking.
The paper introduces ZAYA1, the first large-scale Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) foundation model trained entirely on an integrated AMD platform (AMD Instinct™ GPUs, AMD Pensando™ networking interconnect & ROCm software stack) as a viable high-performance, production-ready alternative platform for frontier-scale AI training.
Despite operating at a fraction of the active parameter count, ZAYA1-base (8.3B total parameters, 760m active)…
