Sovereign AI, delivered.

Bud AI OS on AMD — from silicon to safe AI outcomes. For enterprises, governments, cloud service providers and global system integrators. Infrastructure by AMD, intelligence by Bud: one operating system to train, deploy, evaluate, secure, consume and automate AI, rather than another tool to integrate.

The problem

The entire AI stack is fragmented.

Seven layers, hundreds of parts — and all of it only produces raw intelligence. To turn it into agentic outcomes, every part has to talk to every other part, and none of them were built to. Then the whole assembly is rebuilt four times: for research, pilot, production and scale.

<5%of agents reach production. Add the scarcity of AI talent and the result is failed investment and ground lost to competitors.

Enterprises need one system, not forty tools. Combined with AMD infrastructure, Bud AI OS becomes a complete end-to-end stack rather than a parts list.

A sample of what a do-it-yourself AI stack has to wire together, layer by layer.

Slower delivery

Longer development cycles as teams glue tools together by hand.

Accuracy loss

Quality leaks at every handoff between disconnected systems.

Performance drag

Latency and degradation pile up across the stack.

No ROI

Spend climbs; measurable business return never arrives.

Mounting tech debt

Every integration is one more thing to maintain forever.

Can’t comply

Impossible to regulate or stay compliant across jurisdictions.

Agents can’t talk

Every system a stranger, with no shared memory or protocol.

Locked to frontier

No clean way to use cheaper SLMs where they would do the job.

The partnership

Infrastructure by AMD. Intelligence by Bud.

Bud AI OS, combined with AMD’s CPU, GPU, networking and adaptive computing portfolio, delivers one fully integrated AI operating system — from silicon to safe AI outcomes. It unifies infrastructure, models, data, agents, governance and consumption, so enterprises, governments and cloud providers can run production AI on infrastructure they own and control.

Infrastructure by AMD

AMD drives AI innovation with a broad portfolio spanning the data center, edge and client. Only AMD powers the full spectrum of AI, bringing together leadership CPUs, GPUs and other accelerators, networking and open software to deliver flexibility and performance.

Intelligence by Bud

Bud AI OS is one operating system to train, deploy, evaluate, secure, consume and automate AI. On AMD infrastructure it provides everything from GPU virtualisation and model training to multi-modal inference, guardrails, data, agents and the workspace where people use them — under one identity, one policy and one audit trail.

Why Bud + AMD

Six reasons the stack belongs on AMD.

Proven on AMD Instinct™

Bud’s team trained HEX-1, India’s first commercially usable open-source Indic LLM, on AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs.

No rewrite to move to AMD

Bud LayerZero abstracts the hardware layer, ROCm™ included, so models and agents run on AMD without re-engineering.

CPU-first where it counts

Guardrails decide in under 10 ms on standard CPUs, so governance and smaller models can ride on AMD EPYC™ nodes.

Every GPU fully utilised

Fractional and virtualised GPUs, serverless scale-to-zero and multi-tenancy keep AMD Instinct capacity busy, not idle.

Open at every layer

Open standards, MCP and A2A, standard model formats and AMD’s open software stack — nothing proprietary to escape from.

Sovereign by design

On-premises, sovereign cloud, edge or air-gapped on AMD infrastructure you own — the same platform everywhere.

The solution

One fully integrated OS, from silicon to AI outcomes.

One operating system, two tiers of hardware. Bud Novaria and Bud Gaia are each a complete, standalone Bud AI OS — every component, from the datacenter rack to the desk and the edge.

Multi-hardwareMulti-modalMulti-architectureMulti-cloudMulti-infraMulti-agentAcross cloud & client
Datacenter tier · standalone, full stack

Bud Novaria

The shared estate. Novaria runs the full Bud AI OS stack — GPU Foundry through AI Outcomes — on racks and clusters built on AMD Instinct™ GPUs and AMD EPYC™ CPUs, on-premises or in public, sovereign or hybrid cloud. Training, inference at scale and governed agents for the whole enterprise, inside the boundary.

Bud Gaia

The personal estate. Gaia brings the same control plane to AI PCs, workstations and edge systems. Local agents and on-device inference where the data lives, with nothing leaving the device — and every policy, identity and audit trail shared with Novaria.

The stack

From silicon to safe AI outcomes.

Eight tiers, one control plane. Every tier is built on the tiers beneath it — and the foundation is AMD silicon.

One stack. Nine products.

Nine natively integrated products replace the 40+ tool stack — to train, deploy, evaluate, secure, consume and automate, on a single stack rather than nine integrations.

Augment & automate

Bud Agent

AI that builds the AI. Give it an outcome: it picks the model, claims the compute, trains what’s missing, grounds it in your data and hands back a working agent.

Consume & share AI

Bud Studio

Where the work happens. 60+ pre-built agents, a plain-language builder and a marketplace — on desktop, chat, browser and IDE, plus APIs, SDKs, CLI and MCP.

Security & governance

Bud SENTRY

Zero-trust security and governance. 160+ policies, guardrails on CPUs in under 10 ms, human approvals, red-teaming and a hash-chained audit trail.

Why Bud AI OS

Eight reasons teams consolidate.

No more fragmentation

Every component for an end-to-end AI outcome, fully integrated — from the GPU to the outcome and its consumption.

40%+ lower cost, day one

Routing, safe caching and context compression cut spend before any retraining — and costs keep falling as workloads move to owned models.

Hybrid AI

One control plane for frontier and self-hosted models, agents, tools and data. Each request goes to the model that earns it.

6× faster go-to-market

A pre-integrated platform, reusable skills and tools, and plain-language agent building. No stitching.

Truly portable

Across model providers, clouds and infrastructure — on-prem, sovereign, hybrid, edge or any hyperscaler, without re-architecture.

Self-healing, self-improving

Enterprise Recursive Intelligence: a flywheel that compounds with every interaction, and AI that builds, scales and trains itself.

Compliant by configuration

47+ compliance packs mapped to the EU AI Act, GDPR, DPDP, FINRA, HIPAA and SOC 2, enforced at runtime, with one hash-chained audit trail.

No scarce AI talent needed

HEX-1: a sovereign Indic LLM, built on AMD.

Bud Ecosystem trained India’s first commercially usable open-source Indic LLM using 40% fewer GPUs on Azure, with instances powered by AMD Instinct™ MI300X GPUs.

HEX-1 is a 4-billion-parameter language model optimised for Indian languages — Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu and Malayalam. It bridges the linguistic AI gap in India by enabling developers to build systems that understand and respond in native Indian languages. Read about HEX-1.

Impact case study · TCS · agentic IT operations · on-premises

TCS built an ITSM agent on Bud AI OS in two weeks.

One governed agent for CPU, memory and disk over-utilisation tickets, inside the TCS estate on one control node and one inference worker. TCS built the solution layer; Bud AI OS is the platform beneath it.

01 · The problem

Three ticket types, one manual loop

About 1,150 tickets a month, each worked by an engineer in shift hours: find the top consumers, find the owner, notify. Diagnosis varied by who picked it up.

02 · The solution

One governed agent on Bud AI OS

TCS built only what is specific to its tickets: three diagnose skills, owner attribution, a notification flow, MCP tool sets, a policy set and an evaluation set.

03 · The result

Every ticket, one governed loop

Worked 24×7 inside the estate, within policy, with any system change behind human approval and a tamper-evident record per ticket.

What private infrastructure gives you that public cloud cannot

As enterprises and governments move from experimentation to production, the limits of public and shared infrastructure start to bind.

Data sovereignty by design

Sensitive data stays on-premises or private, meeting residency, compliance and governance requirements.

Full control across the lifecycle

Govern models, training, deployment, scaling and access on AMD infrastructure you operate.

Predictable cost and performance

Private AI gives predictable economics at scale, with efficient training and inference on AMD Instinct™ and AMD EPYC™ underneath.

Three more audiences

The same platform, configured differently.

Enterprise AI
