AMD Powers Next-Generation Agent Computers with New Ryzen AI Halo Developer Platform and Ryzen AI Max PRO 400 Series
AMD has unveiled its latest AI computing innovations with the introduction of the Ryzen AI Halo and new Ryzen AI Max PRO 400 Series processors, designed to accelerate the next generation of AI-powered “Agent Computers”.
The new platforms are built to support increasingly advanced agentic AI workloads locally on PCs, reducing reliance on cloud infrastructure while enabling faster response times, improved privacy, and real-time AI processing.
According to AMD, the Ryzen AI Halo developer platform is capable of running AI models with up to 200 billion parameters locally, giving developers the ability to build, test, and deploy generative AI and autonomous AI agents directly on-device. Powered by the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor and supporting up to 128GB of unified memory, the platform is designed for developers working with large language models, AI workflows, and advanced AI applications.
AMD says the platform supports popular AI frameworks and tools including PyTorch, Ollama, llama.cpp, ComfyUI, LM Studio, and vLLM, while also leveraging AMD ROCm software optimisation for AI acceleration across Windows and Linux environments.
Looking ahead, AMD confirmed that a next-generation Ryzen AI Halo developer platform arriving later in 2026 will support up to 192GB of unified memory and 160GB of VRAM, further expanding local AI computing capabilities.
Alongside the developer platform, AMD also introduced the Ryzen AI Max PRO 400 Series processors for commercial AI PCs, mobile workstations, and compact workstation systems. Built on AMD’s Zen 5 architecture, the processors combine RDNA 3.5 graphics and XDNA 2 NPU technology to support AI workloads, graphics rendering, and professional applications within a single architecture.
AMD claims the Ryzen AI Max PRO 400 Series are the world’s first x86 client processors capable of running 300-billion-parameter AI models locally. The flagship Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 processor features:
- 16 cores and 32 threads
- Boost speeds up to 5.2GHz
- Up to 55 AI TOPS
- 192GB unified memory
- 40 RDNA graphics compute units
The processors are designed for AI developers, engineers, creators, and enterprises working with simulation, rendering, AI inference, and data-intensive workflows, while reducing dependence on discrete GPUs or cloud computing resources.
OEM partners including HP and Lenovo are expected to launch Ryzen AI Max PRO 400 Series powered systems in the third quarter of 2026.
