Red Hat Adds Another Feather

The world's top supplier of open source software, Red Hat, Inc., today announced the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI), a foundation model platform that makes it easier for users to create, test, and implement generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) models. RHEL AI combines the Granite large language model (LLM) family from IBM Research, which is licenced under an open source licence, with model alignment tools from InstructLab that are based on the LAB (Large-scale Alignment for chatBots) methodology and a community-driven model development process via the InstructLab project. The whole solution is available in OpenShift AI, Red Hat's hybrid machine learning operations (MLOps) platform, for executing models and InstructLab at scale across the hybrid cloud. It is also packaged as an optimised, bootable RHEL image for individual server installations throughout the hybrid cloud.

It is anticipated by IDC that businesses globally would invest over $40 billion in GenAI by 2024, and over $150 billion by 2027, as they recognise the benefits of this technology and integrate it into their operations. By providing intelligent self-service for both customers and employees, increasing agent and developer productivity, and providing customers with actionable insights for an even quicker path to success — all on the AI platform for business transformation—ServiceNow is leveraging AI to benefit people throughout the Now Platform.
