SINGAPORE, April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As 51Talk celebrates its 15th anniversary, the global 1-on-1 online English learning platform for children has unveiled a comprehensive global brand refresh, marking a new stage in its international development.
The upgrade introduces a clearer visual identity and a more engaging and accessible learning experience designed for families worldwide. As part of this new chapter, 51Talk has also announced Thai actor Shahkrit Yamnarm family as its brand ambassador in Thailand — reinforcing the company's commitment to Southeast Asia and to Thai families seeking effective English learning for their children.
Since launching its global expansion strategy in 2021, 51Talk has expanded across key markets in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and East Asia. The 15-year milestone represents not only sustained growth, but also a strategic shift toward building a stronger and more unified global education brand.
A Clearer Global Brand Experience
The refreshed visual identity system brings together brand visuals, product interfaces, and communication touchpoints under one cohesive global framework. Designed to be cleaner and more consistent across markets, the refresh helps families more easily recognize and engage with the brand.

51Talk Partners with Thai Actor Shahkrit Yamnarm
As one of the fastest-growing markets for 51Talk in Southeast Asia, Thailand will host a special brand launch event on April 2 in Bangkok, where the company will formally unveil its refreshed brand identity and introduce Shahkrit Yamnarm family as brand ambassador for Thailand.
Widely recognized and trusted by Thai audiences, Shahkrit Yamnarm family will join with 51Talk to inspire children and families to build confidence in English communication. His decision to partner with 51Talk was inspired by his child's own learning experience on the platform, which combines professional rigor with a fun and engaging study experience.
Looking Ahead
Fifteen years after its founding, 51Talk continues to advance its mission: Empower Everyone to Speak Up, Stand Out and Succeed. With Thailand serving as a key driver in its regional growth, the company remains committed to bring high-quality English learning experiences to more families across Southeast Asia.

Multi-phase, multi-region rollout will deliver advanced AMD AI silicon and the open AMD ROCm software stack to frontier-model, enterprise, and sovereign AI customers across global markets
SINGAPORE, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OneQode, a global provider of mission-critical digital infrastructure, today announced a collaboration with AMD to deploy AMD Instinct™ GPUs, as well as announcing plans to deploy AMD Helios rack-scale solution as the platform foundation for OneQode's global AI infrastructure rollout.
OneQode plans a phased rollout anchored by AMD Instinct™ MI355X GPUs in initial deployments and incorporating AMD Helios solution in the future. The deployment will run on the open AMD ROCm™ software stack, giving customers a standards-based, vendor-neutral foundation for large-scale AI training and inference.
The announcement follows OneQode's recently announced 110MW AI infrastructure agreement with Bitzero in Norway, and reflects the company's broader strategy to deploy high-performance AI capacity across Europe and Asia-Pacific. It leverages their existing cloud and telecommunications footprint deployed across 5 continents over the last 7 years, and will also incorporate their unique low-latency, sovereignty-focused product offerings.
OneQode expects to support a range of high-performance AI workloads, powered by AMD AI solutions, including frontier-model training and inference, enterprise AI, and sovereign AI for governments, research institutions, and AI-first organisations.
"Demanding AI workloads require high-performance compute, scalable infrastructure and an open software ecosystem," said Negin Oliver, corporate vice president, Business Development for AI, AMD. "AMD Instinct GPUs and the unifying AMD ROCm open software stack are designed to help customers accelerate large-scale AI training and inference with the performance, efficiency and flexibility they need. We're pleased to work with OneQode as it expands access to AMD AI solutions for customers globally."
"AMD is shipping some of the most compelling AI hardware in the market," said Matthew Shearing, Founder and CEO of OneQode, "The challenge now is putting that silicon in the right places - close to the customers, sovereign workloads, and AI-first organisations that need it. That's what OneQode does. We've spent nearly a decade building performance infrastructure across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the global south, serving the kinds of workloads where uptime, latency and sovereignty actually matter. We're aiming to be AMD's partner of choice for extending AMD Instinct silicon at scale into the regions that need it most."
"We're genuinely pumped to be working with AMD," said Joe Swinn, Head of Product at OneQode. "We've been deploying infrastructure at scale globally for seven years, including some blazing-fast AMD EPYC processor-based private cloud builds, and this is one we've been waiting for. The AMD Instinct MI355X is a serious piece of silicon, and AMD Helios is built for the kinds of AI workloads our customers actually want to run. The AMD team have been brilliant to deal with, and we can't wait to get this kit in front of customers."
