• Speed is the moat | AMD’s Anush Elangovan

  In the race to define the future of AI, what's the one advantage that truly lasts? It's not proprietary tech, argues Anush Elangovan, VP of AI Software at AMD, but the sustainable speed of innovation. He explains why AMD is rejecting the "walled garden" model for its open source ROCm stack, betting that an open community flywheel is the key to victory. Listen to understand how this open strategy is designed to out-innovate closed systems by empowering developers to solve everything from frontier-model challenges to the mundane, everyday problems that define the "last mile" of AI.LinearB: Your AI productivity journey starts hereFollow the show:Subscribe to our Substack Follow us on LinkedInSubscribe to our YouTube ChannelLeave us a ReviewFollow the hosts:Follow AndrewFollow BenFollow DanFollow today's guest(s):Follow Anush LinkedIn | XAMD ROCm Software: github.com/ROCmAMD Developer CloudLearn more at: amd.comOFFERS Start Free Trial: Get started with LinearB's AI productivity platform for free.
