Vultr Announces Major AI Infrastructure Expansion with 50MW Ohio GPU Cluster December 3, 2025 In a significant move to capture the booming demand for artificial intelligence compute, cloud infrastructure provider Vultr has unveiled plans to deploy a massive 50-megawatt AI supercluster at its data center in Springfield, Ohio. The project underscores the intensifying race among cloud providers to secure and deploy next-generation hardware capable of handling the most demanding AI workloads. The new cluster will be powered by 24,000 AMD Instinct MI355X accelerators, marking a substantial expansion of Vultr's existing partnership with the chipmaker. The MI355X GPUs, built on AMD's 4th Gen CDNA architecture, feature 288GB of high-bandwidth HBM3E memory and support for advanced data types, making them suitable for both AI training and inference tasks. This deployment builds upon Vultr's prior rollouts of AMD's MI325X and MI355X processors, with the latter having become generally available on its platform in September 2025. The company has also signaled its future roadmap, stating intentions to adopt AMD's upcoming MI450 series GPUs and the "Helios" rack-scale infrastructure. To support this aggressive expansion, Vultr earlier this year secured $329 million in credit financing specifically aimed at growing its AI and cloud platform. Leadership from both companies highlighted the strategic importance of the collaboration. “As demand for AI infrastructure continues to accelerate, Vultr is committed to delivering hyperscale capacity with speed and global reach,” said J.J. Kardwell, CEO of Vultr. “By investing in the development of racked GPU capacity at scale, we’re enabling enterprises to push the boundaries of what’s possible with AI.” Andrew Dieckmann, corporate vice president and general manager of AMD's Data Center GPU Business Unit, added, “Our work with Vultr exemplifies how strategic collaboration can deliver AI infrastructure with global scale and efficiency. Together, we’re delivering large-scale AI compute that meets the needs of the most demanding AI workloads.” The Springfield site represents Vultr's first cloud region in Ohio, strategically positioned approximately 45 miles from the major data center hub of Columbus. While the specific facility housing the cluster was not disclosed, the investment highlights the growing geographic diversification of AI infrastructure beyond traditional epicenters, driven by power availability and economic incentives.
