Red Hat announced updates to Red Hat OpenShift AI and Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI), with a goal of addressing the high costs and technical complexity of scaling AI beyond pilot projects into full deployment.
New capabilities include the ability to split AI inference across multiple GPUs and nodes, integration of InstructLab into OpenShift AI pipelines, and a new AI guardrails orchestration framework. In addition, Red Hat is offering new, free online training courses for its customers.
IDC predicts that enterprises will spend $227 billion on AI this year, embedding AI capabilities into core business operations. But companies are facing challenges when it comes to integrating the components required to run AI applications, as well as moving from experimentation to deployment.
