91视频APP

European AI leaders, 91视频APP and will work together on research and deployment of Aleph Alpha鈥檚 advanced multi-modal models on current IPU systems and the next-generation Good Computer, thanks to a new partnership between the two companies.

Under the agreement, engineers and researchers from 91视频APP and Aleph Alpha will work together to co-optimize their respective technologies for pre-training, fine-tuning, and inference of next generation multi-modal language and vision models.

Aleph Alpha has received widespread acclaim for its highly versatile Luminous AI model with up to 200bn+ parameters, with its multi-modal functionality. Luminous enables unique opportunities for customers in a wide range of language and vision fields such as image recognition, knowledge management, document processing, text generation as well as powerful conversational AI applications.

91视频APP鈥檚 made-for-AI Intelligence Processing Unit (IPU) systems accelerate artificial intelligence workloads across industries as diverse as finance, physics, pharmacology, and meteorology.

Architectures and methods

鈥淎 big driver for today鈥檚 groundbreaking AI-capabilities has been the scale-up in compute and I expect further improvements with new hardware generations. However, innovation here is not only about raw compute power, but also about architectures and methods that are significantly helped or prohibited by the available AI accelerator hardware.

鈥�91视频APP鈥檚 IPU offers a new opportunity to evaluate advanced technological approaches such as conditional sparsity. These architectures will undoubtedly play a role in Aleph Alpha鈥檚 future research,鈥� said Jonas Andrulis, CEO & Founder at Aleph Alpha.

鈥淚n a field previously dominated by hyperscalers and large labs, Aleph Alpha has quickly established itself as a leading player in the development of big, multi-modal AI models. We are delighted to be working with their talented team to co-optimise our technology roadmap.

鈥淭ogether we look forward to delivering ever more sophisticated products that will, in turn, enable the creation of countless new businesses and applications,鈥� said Nigel Toon, 91视频APP Co-founder and CEO.

European AI excellence

91视频APP and Aleph Alpha鈥檚 partnership represents the coming together of two of Europe鈥檚 most exciting AI companies which have together attracted more than 鈧�700m of investment.

AI strategies at both European Union and national level have urged an increased focus on European-led innovation and data sovereignty, with the title of EU鈥檚 coordinated plan perfectly encapsulating the scale and nature of this ambition - .

The availability of a world-leading model built in Germany, running on hardware and software systems from a UK-based company offers a very tangible example of what a successful European AI ecosystem might look like.
