Red Hat's AI portfolio evolves to address enterprise deployment challenges

RHEL AI lets companies deploy workloads where they need them, including cloud, on premises, or on the edge, IDC analyst Michele Rosen says.

“AI applications need to live as close as possible to their data,” she says. “For security, latency, and what have you. So you want to have a hybrid cloud infrastructure.”

RHEL AI lets companies avoid platform lock-in, especially as AI providers continue to leapfrog one another in performance, features, and cost efficiency.

And organizations already using Red Hat Linux or OpenShift can use their existing investments and expertise, she adds.

According to Red Hat, the new release of RHEL AI and OpenShift AI help companies with various aspects of AI deployment, including training, model evaluation, inference, and guardrails.

InstructLab is Red Hat’s tool for fine-tuning and customizing models with a company’s own data and expertise. Until today, it was only available on a single server.
