MangoBoost Sets New Benchmark for Multi-Node LLM Training on AMD GPUs in MLPerf Training v5.0
BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MangoBoost, a provider of cutting-edge system solutions for maximizing compute efficiency and scalability, has validated the scalability and efficiency of large-scale AI training on AMD Instinct™ MI300X GPUs through its MLPerf Training v5.0 submission. Tailored for enterprise data centers prioritizing performance, flexibility, and cost-efficiency, this milestone demonstrates that state-of-the-art LLM training is now viable beyond traditional vendor-locked GPU platforms. This showcases how the AMD Instinct™ MI300X GPUs and ROCm™ software stack synergize with MangoBoost's LLMBoost™ AI Enterprise software and GPUBoost™ RoCEv2 NIC. Share Using 32 AMD Instinct™ MI300X GPUs across four nodes, MangoBoost fine-tuned the Llama2-70B-LoRA model in just 10.91 minutes, setting the fastest multi-node MLPerf benchmark on AMD GPUs to date. The system achieved near-linear scaling efficiency (95–100%), proving that MangoBoost's stack can support practical and scalable LLM training in production environments. Scalability and Efficiency for Enterprise Data Centers The result showcases more than just benchmark success—it underscores how enterprises can reliably scale LLM training across clusters without network bottlenecks or rigid infrastructure dependencies. Mango LLMBoost™: A full-featured MLOps software platform for large language models, supporting model parallelism, automatic tuning, batch scheduling, and advanced memory management. Mango GPUBoost™ RoCEv2 RDMA: Inter-GPU communication hardware optimized for low-latency, high-throughput node-to-node communication, sustaining line-rate performance across thousands of concurrent QPs. These technologies together deliver predictable and efficient multi-node training, ideal for organizations operating their own AI infrastructure or deploying on public cloud. Industry-First MLPerf Training on AMD MI300X GPUs This is the first-ever MLPerf Training submission on AMD GPUs spanning multiple nodes. MangoBoost's platform demonstrated robust performance with a 4-node, 32-GPU cluster and confirmed compatibility with additional model sizes and structures—including Llama2-7B and Llama3.1-8B—in internal benchmarks. These results validate the generalizability of MangoBoost's platform beyond benchmarks to diverse production-scale use cases. " I'm excited to see MangoBoost's first MLPerf Training results, pairing their LLMBoost AI Enterprise MLOps software with their RoCEv2-based GPUBoost DPU hardware to unlock the full power of AMD GPUs, demonstrated by their scalable performance from a single-node MI300X to 2- and 4-node MI300X results on Llama2-70B LoRA. Their results underscore that a well-optimized software stack is critical to fully harness the capabilities of modern AI accelerators." — David Kanter, Founder, Head of MLPerf, MLCommons Vendor-Neutral AI Infrastructure Enabled by AMD Collaboration The achievement was made possible through deep collaboration with AMD and seamless integration with the ROCm™ software ecosystem, enabling full utilization of MI300X's compute, memory bandwidth, and capacity. Enterprises are now empowered to choose infrastructure based on business needs—not vendor constraints. " We congratulate MangoBoost on their MLPerf 5.0 training results on AMD GPUs and are excited to continue our collaboration with them to unleash the full power of AMD GPUs. In this MLPerf Training submission, MangoBoost has achieved a key milestone in demonstrating training results on AMD GPUs across 4 nodes (32 GPUs). This showcases how the AMD Instinct™ MI300X GPUs and ROCm™ software stack synergize with MangoBoost's LLMBoost™ AI Enterprise software and GPUBoost™ RoCEv2 NIC." — Meena Arunachalam, Fellow, AI Performance Design Engineering, AMD "At MangoBoost, we've shown that software-hardware co-optimization enables scalable, efficient LLM training without vendor lock-in. Our MLPerf result is a key milestone proving our technology is ready for enterprise-scale AI training with superior efficiency and flexibility," said CEO Jangwoo Kim. MangoBoost continues to develop innovations in communication optimization, hybrid parallelism, topology-aware scheduling, and domain-specific acceleration to further scale performance in distributed AI workloads.

Bark Box CEO apologizes for employee's internal message comparing PRIDE collection to MAGA toys
The CEO of BarkBox, the company that offers a monthly subscription service for boxes of dog toys and treats, has issued a public apology for a "disrespectful and hurtful" internal message that leaked on social media. A screenshot of the message that circulated on Reddit described the decision to immediately pause paid ads and lifecycle marketing pushes for the company's Pride kit. "While celebrating Pride is something we may value, we need to acknowledge that the current climate makes this promotion feel more like a political statement than a universally joyful moment for all dog people," the message reads in part. "If we wouldn't feel comfortable running a promotion centered around another politically charged symbol (like a MAGA-themed product), it's worth asking whether this is the right moment to run this particular campaign." "Right now, pushing this promo risks unintentionally sending the message that 'we're not for you' to a large portion of our audience," the message concludes. BarkBox confirmed to Business Insider the authenticity of the screenshot. The author of the message is unclear. Founder and CEO Matt Meeker apologized for the "disrespectful and hurtful" message in an Instagram post on Wednesday. "I do not agree with the content of the message. It wasn't good, it doesn't reflect our values, and I'm deeply sorry that it happened," he said. "We stand by the products," he wrote about the Pride kits, noting that the company had no plans to remove them. While the company has donated a portion of profits from its Pride collection to an organization supporting LGBTQ people in past years, it'll donate 100% of the revenue from the collection this year, he added. The company's Pride collection is available as an optional add-on for BarkBox and Super Chewer subscribers, and has been offered for the past four years. The initial pullback on Pride isn't unique to BarkBox. Some of the biggest retailers in the US have walked back their support for diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, with some taking cues from the Trump administration's stance on the matter. Target last year scaled back its Pride Month collection after receiving backlash from conservatives over the merchandise in prior years. In late November, Walmart announced it was ending some of its DEI initiatives and taking down some LGBTQ-related merchandise from its website.
