Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) is partnering with Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS) to deploy the US chipmaker’s latest artificial intelligence (AI) data center technology in India, challenging Nvidia Corp in one of the world’s fastest-growing markets.
AMD is to offer its Helios data center blueprint and work with TCS to support up to 200 megawatts of AI infrastructure capacity in India, the companies said in a statement on Monday.
“AI adoption is accelerating from pilots to large-scale deployments, and that shift requires a new blueprint for compute infrastructure,” AMD chief executive officer Lisa Su (蘇姿丰) said in the statement. “Together with TCS, we are enabling enterprises across India to deploy AI at scale today while building the compute foundation of tomorrow.”

AMD’s push in India underscores a wider strategy to supply end-to-end AI infrastructure to governments and companies racing to build local computing capacity.
TCS late last year announced a plan to enter the data center space, targeting as much as 1.2 gigawatts of capacity.
AMD is capturing AI market share from Nvidia, according to Arista Networks Inc. The AMD partner said last week that it is seeing about 20 percent to 25 percent of chip deployments going to AMD, compared with 99 percent of AI chip deployments going to Nvidia last year.
Separately, Anthropic PBC has partnered with Indian technology firm Infosys Ltd to develop advanced AI solutions for companies across sectors, including telecommunications, financial services, manufacturing and software development.
The partners will develop custom AI agents tailored for specific industries and business functions, Infosys said in a statement. Anthropic is to combine its Claude models, including Claude Code, with Infosys’ Topaz AI products to help companies automate complex workflows and speed up software delivery.
“From modernizing financial services with intelligent risk management and compliance, to enabling engineering businesses to lead with AI-driven design and manufacturing, the goal is to leverage the joint expertise of Infosys and Anthropic to accelerate AI value realization for global enterprises,” Infosys chief executive officer Salil Parekh said in the statement.
The partnership underscores the intensifying race among global AI developers to secure enterprise customers as companies demand industry-specific automation tools. Earlier, Anthropic said it is embedding its marquee AI coding agent within prominent Indian firms, including flag carrier Air India Ltd and outsourcing giant Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp.
India launched one of the world’s largest artificial intelligence summits this week as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeks to make the country an AI hub amid intense competition to develop frontier models.
Taichung reported the steepest fall in completed home prices among the six special municipalities in the first quarter of this year, data compiled by Taiwan Realty Co (台灣房屋) showed yesterday. From January through last month, the average transaction price for completed homes in Taichung fell 8 percent from a year earlier to NT$299,000 (US$9,483) per ping (3.3m²), said Taiwan Realty, which compiled the data based on the government’s price registration platform. The decline could be attributed to many home buyers choosing relatively affordable used homes to live in themselves, instead of newly built homes in the city’s prime property market, Taiwan Realty
The government yesterday approved applications by Alphabet Inc’s Google to invest NT$27.08 billion (US$859.98 million) in Taiwan, the Ministry of Economic Affairs said in a statement. The Department of Investment Review approved two investments proposed by Google, with much of the funds to be used for data processing and electronic information supply services, as well as inventory procurement businesses in the semiconductor field, the ministry said. It marks the second consecutive year that Google has applied to increase its investment in Taiwan. Google plans to infuse NT$25.34 billion into Charter Investments Ltd (特許投資顧問) through its Singapore-based subsidiary Fructan Holdings Singapore Pte Ltd, and
JET JUICE: The war on Iran’s secondary effects have seen fuel prices skyrocket, knocking flight schedules down to earth in return as airlines struggle with costs Airline passengers should brace for more irritation in the next few months as carriers worldwide cancel flights and ground planes to cope with stratospheric increases in jet-fuel prices. Dutch flag carrier KLM is the latest company to cut its schedule, saying on Thursday that it would scrap 80 return flights at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport in the coming month. That puts it in the same league as United Airlines Holdings Inc, Deutsche Lufthansa AG and Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd, which have all pruned itineraries to mitigate costs. Global capacity for next month has been reduced by about 3 percentage points, with all
FORESEEABLE CONSEQUENCES: New technology always comes with new innovations by the iniquitous in exploiting users for financial gain or more nefarious ends Artificial intelligence (AI) “agents” say they can save users time and energy by automating tasks, but the growing power of systems such as OpenClaw is putting cybersecurity experts on edge. Powered by a wave of hype, OpenClaw today says it has more than three million users worldwide. The system allows users to create so-called agents, tools based on a large language model (LLM) such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Anthropic PBC’s Claude, that can carry out online tasks. “We’ve moved from an AI you could talk with via a chatbot to an agentic AI, which can take action... the threat and the risks are
