Red Hat AI offerings on IBM Cloud

Red Hat AI on IBM Cloud portfolio includes Red Hat AI InstructLab on IBM Cloud as a service (SaaS) to build fit-for-purpose Large Language Models (LLMs) models, Red Hat OpenShift AI on IBM Cloud for building, deploying, and managing AI-enabled applications at scale, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) AI for individual Linux server environments.

Go deeper on our Red Hat AI on IBM Cloud Solution Brief
Bring the power of right- sized open source AI models to address your unique business challenges, privately and securely.

The Red Hat AI InstructLab service on IBM Cloud is designed to simplify, scale, and secure the full model alignment, training and deployment of AI models. By simplifying the creation of custom LLM’s with the InstructLab process, organizations can build highly accurate and efficient models while retaining ownership of their data. Key benefits include:

  • Portability, retaining ownership of your data and the model.
  •  Minimize risks of catastrophic forgetting.
  • As a service, with always available infrastructure.
Get started
OpenShift AI is available as a managed add-on running on Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud.

Red Hat OpenShift AI is a flexible, scalable AI and ML development platform that enables Enterprises to create and deliver AI-enabled applications at scale.

Existing OpenShift on IBM Cloud users can go to the cluster overview page and navigate to the add-on section to install the OpenShift AI add-on. If you do not already have an OpenShift cluster on IBM Cloud, you can create a cluster, or you can use Deployable Architecture to get a newly created OpenShift cluster of minimum size required with OpenShift AI installed.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) AI is a foundation model platform.

Consistently develop, test, and deploy custom Granite based large language models (LLMs) and integrated LLM hosting with vLLM to power enterprise applications. You can build and host models from the same bootable image. In addition to the open source Granite LLM family, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI provides InstructLab model alignment tools based on the LAB methodology and a community-driven approach to model development through the InstructLab project. The entire solution is packaged as an optimized, bootable RHEL AI image for deployment on IBM Cloud.
