Red Hat Supercharges AI Workloads with Intel Technologies from the Datacenter to the Edge

Red Hat, Inc., the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced a collaboration with Intel to power enterprise AI usages on Red Hat OpenShift AI. Together, the two companies will facilitate the delivery of end-to-end artificial intelligence (AI) solutions on Intel AI products - including Intel® Gaudi® AI accelerators, Intel® Xeon® processors, Intel® Coretm Ultra and Coretm processors, and Intel® Arctm GPUs - for model development and training, model serving, management and monitoring more seamlessly across a hybrid cloud infrastructure.

To balance the costs of maintaining existing systems with the adoption of new solutions, organizations require flexible, scalable and resilient AI infrastructures that combine hardware and software from multiple vendors. Red Hat and Intel are addressing these needs with a hybrid cloud approach wherein the AI stack is not confined to a single cloud or single datacenter. A hybrid cloud strategy empowers organizations with interoperability from the datacenter to the cloud to the edge, and enables greater AI workload portability for them to build, run and deploy AI workloads wherever needed.

Red Hat OpenShift AI offers a more consistent foundation to power AI applications across any environment, from cloud to edge, and provides streamlined support for Intel's AI products. Intel's comprehensive product portfolio for enterprises includes the full suite of Intel's AI hardware and software offerings. In the data center, Intel® Gaudi AI accelerators, Intel® Xeon® processors with Intel® Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) and Intel® Infrastructure Processing Units (IPU) cater to a diverse set of AI use cases, including generative AI (GenAI) training, fine-tuning, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), inferencing, as well as confidential AI to protect data in use with Intel® Trust Domain Extensions (TDX). At the edge, Intel supports local execution of large language models (LLMs) on platforms based on Intel® Coretm Ultra, Intel Xeon® processors, and Intel Arctm GPUs. Red Hat is collaborating with Intel to certify its hardware solutions on Red Hat OpenShift AI to ensure interoperability and enable comprehensive AI capabilities.

In addition, Intel brings together a rich set of scalable open source and commercial software, ready to go out of the box, which can be integrated with Red Hat OpenShift AI and validated for interoperability to run seamlessly in IT environments. Supported software includes Intel® Tibertm Edge Platform, including Intel®OpenVINOtm; Intel®Tibertm AI Studio; and oneAPI AI Tools. Qualified customers can request access to Intel® Gaudi® AI accelerators through Intel® Tibertm Developer Cloud.

Red Hat and Intel's open source approach to AI innovation empowers organizations to deploy anywhere on their platform of choice, accelerating time to market and providing ubiquitous AI building blocks that are more cost-effective at scale. With this collaboration, Red Hat and Intel bring together the might of their respective ecosystems, spanning leading solution providers, software vendors, equipment manufacturers and more, to further extend and build AI capabilities, solutions and services on Intel® AI products with Red Hat OpenShift AI.
