===== ✅ What we know =====
# AMD acquired Mipsology (a French AI‐software company based in Palaiseau) in August 2023. Investopedia<ref>{{cite web|title=Investopedia|url=https://www.investopedia.com/amd-acquires-french-ai-software-company-mipsology-7852209|publisher=investopedia.com|access-date=2025-11-16}}</ref> - Mipsology’s flagship software is called Zebra AI (for inference/optimization). Investopedia<ref>{{cite web|title=Investopedia|url=https://www.investopedia.com/amd-acquires-french-ai-software-company-mipsology-7852209|publisher=investopedia.com|access-date=2025-11-16}}</ref> - The blog from AMD states: “Mipsology’s highly skilled software team … will join the AMD AI Group … help develop our full AI software stack … and enable streamlined deployment of AI models running on AMD hardware.” AMD<ref>{{cite web|title=AMD|url=https://www.amd.com/en/blogs/2023/amd-acquires-mipsology-to-deepen-ai-inference-soft.html|publisher=amd.com|access-date=2025-11-16}}</ref>
# Independently, AMD also published a research paper “Zebra‑Llama: Towards Extremely Efficient Hybrid Models” where the first authors list is from “Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD)”. arXiv<ref>{{cite web|title=arXiv|url=https://arxiv.org/html/2505.17272v1|publisher=arxiv.org|access-date=2025-11-16}}</ref> - The Zebra-Llama work is about hybrid language models (1B/3B/8B) combining SSM + MLA layers, reducing KV‐cache, etc. OpenReview<ref>{{cite web|title=OpenReview|url=https://openreview.net/pdf/ba9ef0b7769e0db15d03dbd4788db3287b2d18a4.pdf|publisher=openreview.net|access-date=2025-11-16}}</ref> - So in that sense, AMD owns/controls Zebra-Llama as a research initiative.
