Advanced Micro Devices (NasdaqGS:AMD) and Celestica announced a collaboration on the Helios rack scale AI platform for large scale AI deployments.

The Helios platform is designed around AMD Instinct AI accelerators and open standards based networking, including Ultra Accelerator Link over Ethernet.

Helios is planned to be available to cloud, enterprise, and research customers in late 2026 as part of AMD’s expanding AI infrastructure ecosystem.

Advanced Micro Devices enters this collaboration with Celestica after a stretch of longer term share performance, with the stock up 88.0% over the past year and 144.8% over five years. At a current share price of $196.58 and a year to date return of a 12.0% decline, investors are watching how new AI infrastructure moves like Helios fit into AMD’s broader positioning in data center and accelerated computing.

For readers tracking AI related hardware, Helios adds another piece to AMD’s story beyond chip design, linking its Instinct accelerators to a full rack scale platform that targets large deployments. As Helios moves toward its planned late 2026 availability, attention is likely to center on how cloud providers, enterprises, and research institutions respond to an open standards based option for high performance AI infrastructure.
