Red Hat Delivers Next Wave of Gen AI Innovation with New Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI Capabilities

Red Hat, Inc., the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, announced the latest release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI), Red Hat’s foundation model platform for more seamlessly developing, testing and running generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) models for enterprise applications. RHEL AI 1.3 brings support for the latest advancements in the Granite large language model (LLM) family and incorporates open source advancements for data preparation while still maintaining expanded choice for hybrid cloud deployments, including the underlying accelerated compute architecture.

According to IDC’s «Market Analysis Perspective: Open GenAI, LLMs, and the Evolving Open Source Ecosystem,» 61% of respondents plan to use open source foundation models for gen AI use cases, while more than 56% of deployed foundation models are already open source. Red Hat sees this trend validating the company’s vision for enterprise gen AI, which calls for:

• Smaller, open source-licensed models that can run anywhere and everywhere needed across the hybrid cloud.
• Fine-tuning capabilities that enable organizations to more easily customize LLMs to private data and specific use cases.
• Optimized and more efficient AI models driven by inference performance engineering expertise.
• The backing of a strong partner and open source ecosystem for broader customer choice.
