Vultr bets big on AMD as Ohio emerges as new AI power base

Vultr is pushing deeper into the AI infrastructure race with a massive GPU build-out in Springfield, Ohio, anchored by 24,000 new AMD Instinct MI355X accelerators. The project signals a broader shift toward alternative GPU ecosystems and rack-scale designs as cloud providers chase cost-efficient compute. Backed by local economic agencies, the campus positions Ohio as an unexpected anchor in the growing geography of U.S. AI capacity.
