DENVER – RED HAT SUMMIT 2024 - May 7, 2024 —

Red Hat, Inc., the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today
announced the launch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI), a foundation
model platform that enables users to more seamlessly develop, test and deploy
generative AI (GenAI) models. RHEL AI brings together the open source-licensed
Granite large language model (LLM) family 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 entire solution is packaged as an optimized,
bootable RHEL image for individual server deployments across the hybrid cloud
and is also included as part of OpenShift AI, Red Hat’s hybrid machine learning
operations (MLOps) platform, for running models and InstructLab at scale across
distributed cluster environments.

The launch of ChatGPT generated tremendous interest in GenAI, with the pace of
innovation only accelerating since then. Enterprises have begun moving from
early evaluations of GenAI services to building out AI-enabled applications. A
rapidly growing ecosystem of open model options has spurred further AI
innovation and illustrated that there won’t be “one model to rule them all.”
Customers will benefit from an array of choices to address specific
requirements, all of which stands to be further accelerated by an open approach
to innovation.

Implementing an AI strategy requires more than simply selecting a model;
technology organizations need the expertise to tune a given model for their
specific use case, as well as deal with the significant costs of AI
implementation. The scarcity of data science skills are compounded by
substantial financial requirements including:

 * Procuring AI infrastructure or consuming AI services 
 * The complex process of tuning AI models for specific business needs
 * Integrating AI into enterprise applications
 * Managing both the application and model lifecycle.

To truly lower the entry barriers for AI innovation, enterprises need to be able
to expand the roster of who can work on AI initiatives while simultaneously
getting these costs under control. With InstructLab alignment tools, Granite
models and RHEL AI, Red Hat aims to apply the benefits of true open source
projects - freely accessible and reusable, transparent and open to contributions
- to GenAI in an effort to remove these obstacles.


BUILDING AI IN THE OPEN WITH INSTRUCTLAB

IBM Research created the Large-scale Alignment for chatBots (LAB) technique, an
approach for model alignment that uses taxonomy-guided synthetic data generation
and a novel multi-phase tuning framework. This approach makes AI model
development more open and accessible to all users by reducing reliance on
expensive human annotations and proprietary models. Using the LAB method, models
can be improved by specifying skills and knowledge attached to a taxonomy,
generating synthetic data from that information at scale to influence the model
and using the generated data for model training.

After seeing that the LAB method could help significantly improve model
performance, IBM and Red Hat decided to launch InstructLab, an open source
community built around the LAB method and the open source Granite models from
IBM. The InstructLab project aims to put LLM development into the hands of
developers by making, building and contributing to an LLM as simple as
contributing to any other open source project.

As part of the InstructLab launch, IBM has also released a family of
select Granite English language and code models in the open. These models are
released under an Apache license with transparency on the datasets used to train
these models. The Granite 7B English language model has been integrated into the
InstructLab community, where end users can contribute the skills and knowledge
to collectively enhance this model, just as they would when contributing to any
other open source project. Similar support for Granite code models within
InstructLab will be available soon.


OPEN SOURCE AI INNOVATION ON A TRUSTED LINUX BACKBONE

RHEL AI builds on this open approach to AI innovation, incorporating an
enterprise-ready version of the InstructLab project and the Granite language and
code models along with the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform to simplify
deployment across a hybrid infrastructure environment. This creates a foundation
model platform for bringing open source-licensed GenAI models into the
enterprise. RHEL AI includes:

 * Open source-licensed Granite language and code models that are supported and
   indemnified by Red Hat.
 * A supported, lifecycled distribution of InstructLab that provides a scalable,
   cost-effective solution for enhancing LLM capabilities and making knowledge
   and skills contributions accessible to a much wider range of users.
 * Optimized bootable model runtime instances with Granite models and
   InstructLab tooling packages as bootable RHEL images via RHEL image mode,
   including optimized Pytorch runtime libraries and accelerators for AMD
   Instinct™ MI300X, Intel and NVIDIA GPUs and NeMo frameworks.
 * Red Hat’s complete enterprise support and lifecycle promise that starts with
   a trusted enterprise product distribution, 24x7 production support and
   extended  lifecycle support.

As organizations experiment and tune new AI models on RHEL AI, they have a ready
on-ramp for scaling these workflows with Red Hat OpenShift AI, which will
include RHEL AI, and where they can leverage OpenShift’s Kubernetes engine to
train and serve AI models at scale and OpenShift AI’s integrated MLOps
capabilities to manage the model lifecycle.  IBM’s watsonx.ai enterprise studio,
which is built on Red Hat OpenShift AI today, will benefit from the inclusion of
RHEL AI in OpenShift AI upon availability, bringing additional capabilities for
enterprise AI development, data management, model governance and improved price
performance.


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.
