Dell Technologies and Red Hat, Inc., are bringing Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI), a
foundation model platform built on an AI-optimised operating system that enables users to

more seamlessly develop, test and deploy artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (gen AI)
models, to Dell PowerEdge servers. This joint effort establishes RHEL AI as a preferred platform
on the Dell PowerEdge R760xa server.

This collaboration helps organisations more readily implement successful artificial intelligence

and machine learning (AI/ML) strategies to scale their IT systems and power enterprise
applications across their businesses. Dell and Red Hat are providing a more consistent AI

experience on optimised, AI-enabled hardware solutions, all delivered on the trusted platform
of RHEL AI on Dell PowerEdge. This initiative aims to simplify the AI experience for users by

continuously testing and validating hardware solutions, including NVIDIA accelerated
computing, with RHEL AI.

RHEL AI brings together open source-licensed Granite large language models (LLMs) from IBM

Research, InstructLab model alignment tools based on the LAB (Large-scale Alignment for
chatBots) methodology and a community-driven approach to model development through the
InstructLab project. The solution is packaged as an optimised, bootable Red Hat Enterprise

Linux (RHEL) image for individual server deployments across the hybrid cloud and is included
