Jeremy Foster, senior vice President and general manager, Networking - Compute, Cisco
“The AI movement represents a seismic shift for enterprises, and many organizations are grappling
with the best path forward. Cisco continues to work closely with Red Hat to advance AI adoption
and RHEL AI will accelerate innovation by providing open-source enabled LLM models as part of an
enterprise-ready Linux platform.”

Gil Shneorson, senior vice president, Solution Platforms, Dell Technologies
“Dell Technologies has been a pioneer in delivering reliable and consistent lifecycle management
for infrastructure; we believe that consistent, reliable and safe system updates for enterprise IT
operations is imperative as systems continue to evolve. New technologies offering organizations the
ability to extend code updates and reduce deployment times will be important to maintaining
progress in innovation."

Frances Guida, director, Compute Solutions and AI, Hewlett Packard Enterprise

"Hewlett Packard Enterprise has collaborated with Red Hat for two decades to provide industry-
leading solutions that combine the HPE Compute platforms with RHEL. An open environment is
critical to innovation in fast-growing technology categories like generative AI and we are looking
forward to exploring new areas of collaboration with RHEL AI and Red Hat to help HPE customers
find success.”

Darío Gil, senior vice president and director, Research, IBM
“Bringing true open source innovation to AI model development and harnessing the power of a
broad community will change how enterprises think about their plans for AI adoption and scale.
IBM has been a strong supporter of open source, backing influential communities like Linux,
Apache, and Eclipse, and our collaboration with Red Hat represents a step forward in our open
approach to building safe, responsible, and effective AI. RHEL AI and InstructLab, combined with
IBM’s open source Granite family of models, will deliver new value and choice for clients who are
looking to build fit for purpose models that address their use cases with their own data while
minimizing cost across a diverse hybrid cloud environment.”

Hillery Hunter, CTO and general manager of innovation, IBM Infrastructure
“Many enterprises are looking to infuse AI into their mission-critical applications. The availability of
RHEL AI and OpenShift AI on IBM Cloud will help transform how the community and companies
build and leverage generative AI. We are enabling open collaboration, simplifying model
customization and providing enterprise-quality supported models and tools for building AI into
every application.”

Justin Hotard, executive vice president and general manager, Data Center & AI Group, Intel
“For AI adoption to scale, it needs to be fully open source, where community members contribute
and create new applications and use cases. By incorporating the open source Granite models and
the InstructLab project, RHEL AI is poised to bring a significant change in how we interact with,
tune and ultimately use AI models in production.”

Kirk Skaugen, president, Lenovo ISG
“Customers deploying AI-driven applications need to be able to test and experiment with potential
models on a trusted and familiar but still innovative platform. Lenovo believes the future of AI is
hybrid, and we see RHEL AI as a critical pathway for widespread hybrid AI innovation, and through
Red Hat OpenShift AI, production scalability. We’re pleased to work with Red Hat in driving this
hybrid AI innovation forward through joint testing on our ThinkSystem 8-GPU servers, providing a
