Jesper Rooth discusses Red Hat's new AI platform solution as well as their future AI plans.
Red Hat recently introduced Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) AI, a platform that enables the seamless development, testing, and deployment of enterprise applications using large language models (LLMs) from the IBM Granite family.
