Red Hat, Inc. makes Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) AI generally available across the hybrid cloud, enabling the foundation model platform to help users seamlessly develop, test, and run generative AI (gen AI) models to power enterprise applications.
Open-source approach
Joe Fernandes, vice president and general manager of Foundation Model Platforms, Red Hat, said, “For gen AI applications to be truly successful in the enterprise, they need to be made more accessible to a broader set of organisations and users and more applicable to specific business use cases. RHEL AI provides the ability for domain experts, not just data scientists, to contribute to a built-for-purpose gen AI model across the hybrid cloud, while also enabling IT organisations to scale these models for production through Red Hat OpenShift AI.”
RHEL AI aims to make Gen AI more accessible, efficient, and flexible to CIOs and enterprise IT organisations across the hybrid cloud. It claims to help empower Gen AI innovation with enterprise-grade, open-source-licensed Granite models, streamline the alignment of Gen AI models to business requirements with InstructLab tooling, and train and deploy Gen AI anywhere across the hybrid cloud.
Red Hat subscription
With a Red Hat subscription, users can take advantage of trusted enterprise product distribution, 24x7 production support, extended model lifecycle support, and legal protections under Open-Source Assurance.
RHEL AI will span on-premise datacentres, edge environments, and the public cloud. It will be available directly from Red Hat’s original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners and run on the largest cloud providers.
