The cloud is hybrid. So is AI.

For more than 30 years, open source technologies have paired rapid innovation with greatly
reduced IT costs and lowered barriers to innovation. Red Hat has been leading this charge for
nearly as long, from delivering open enterprise Linux platforms with RHEL in the early 2000s to
driving containers and Kubernetes as the foundation for open hybrid cloud and cloud-native
computing with Red Hat OpenShift.

This drive continues with Red Hat powering AI/ML strategies across the open hybrid cloud,
enabling AI workloads to run where data lives, whether in the datacenter, multiple public clouds or
at the edge. More than just the workloads, Red Hat’s vision for AI brings model training and tuning
down this same path to better address limitations around data sovereignty, compliance and
operational integrity. The consistency delivered by Red Hat’s platforms across these environments,
no matter where they run, is crucial in keeping AI innovation flowing.

RHEL AI and the InstructLab community further deliver on this vision, breaking down many of the
barriers to experimenting with and building AI models while providing the tools, data and concepts
needed to fuel the next wave of intelligent workloads.

Availability

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI is now available as a developer preview. Building on the GPU
infrastructure available on IBM Cloud, which is used to train the Granite models and support
InstructLab, IBM Cloud will now be adding support for RHEL AI and OpenShift AI. This integration
will allow enterprises to deploy generative AI more easily into their mission critical applications.

Ashesh Badani, senior vice president and chief product officer, Red Hat

“GenAI presents a revolutionary leap forward for enterprises, but only if technology organizations
are able to actually deploy and use AI models in a way that matches their specific business needs.
RHEL AI and the InstructLab project, coupled with Red Hat OpenShift AI at scale, are designed to
lower many of the barriers facing GenAI across the hybrid cloud, from limited data science skills to
the sheer resources required, while fueling innovation both in enterprise deployments and in
upstream communities.”

Ramine Roane, corporate vice president, AI Group, AMD

"AI is one of the most important shifts in technology in the past 50 years. To help accelerate
broader adoption of AI, the models and tools used to build AI applications need to be made
accessible to the enterprise. Built on a trusted Linux backbone with open source tooling and open
source-licensed models, RHEL AI is one of the platforms that can provide this, and we’re pleased to
support Red Hat’s effort in driving AI in the enterprise forward with our AMD technologies
including Instinct AI accelerators.”
