test driving IBM Watson x. the role of
AI and sustainability initiatives and
the AI bundle for IBM Z and Linux one
all on this episode of IPM Tech
[Music]
now to get the ball rolling today IBM is
excited to offer a 30-day demo where you
can chat with a solo model to experience
working with generative AI in the IBM
Watson x. Studio this means you can
access some of our most popular AI
models ask the questions and see how
they respond really gives you a taste of
some of the capabilities of large
language models in this first release of
the Watson x. a demo you can access five
model types during the AI solution
development life cycle it's important to
be able to quickly test multiple models
interact with them collect feedback and
share them with peers with this new demo
tool we aim to pave the way for a future
of accelerated time to value for popular
common patterns to learn more about this
30-day demo or start up complete Watson
x. trial check out the link in the
description of this video next up the
world recently celebrated Earth Day with
2024 on track to be the hottest year on
record it's crucial to examine how data
and AI can be applied to many areas to
help supercharge sustainability efforts
when looking at how to use data and
Technology to advance sustainability
initiatives across the globe we believe
there are three core areas that every
organization should focus on the first
is sustainability strategy data and
Reporting essentially we should be using
data in AI to drive a sustainability
strategy while meeting reporting
requirements AI can turn Intel into
insights faster enabling businesses to
drive towards sustainability goals and
financial targets more quickly the
second is energy transition and climate
resilience we need to apply Ai and the
internet of things to accelerate the
transition to sustainable energy sources
the third is intelligent asset facility
in infrastructure management this means
leveraging AI to build efficient
physical operations manage costs and
reduce the environmental footprint to
learn more about the future of AI and
sustainability hit the link
below to wrap things up today the
explosion in interest and Adoption of AI
is forcing it leaders to revisit their
capacity plans and increase compute
resources many Enterprises are realizing
that to maximize the value of their AI
Investments infrastructure needs to
scale rapidly and efficiently to deliver
AI insights where and when they need
them in 2022 IBM introduced the
groundbreaking IBM Z16 featuring an
onchip AI inference accelerator focused
on accelerating AI model execution today
we are announcing the AI bundle for IBM
Z and Linux 1 this Builds on the success
of the IBM Z16 or linux4 by providing
new dedicated capacity for AI workloads
with a highly optimized software stack
with a curated Suite of AI soft software
you can manage AI model life cycles in
one place allowing for the quick
deployment of a wide range of use cases
additionally by leveraging the IBM telm
processor with the integrated
accelerator for AI you can run
inferencing for a high volume workloads
at scale to learn more about the AI
bundle for IBM Z in Linux 1 hit the link
