Microsoft-owned Inflection AI and Intel Launch Enterprise AI System

Inflection Al, acqui-hired by Microsoft in June this year, and Intel have recently launched a new enterprise Al system called Inflection for Enterprise. It removes development barriers to accelerate hardware testing and model building.

This system is designed to provide businesses with powerful Al capabilities, including large language models (LLMs), to help them build custom, secure, and employee-friendly Al applications.

Essentially, Inflection for Enterprise is an AI system built around a multi-billion end-point LLM that allows enterprises to own their intelligence in its entirety. Its foundational model is fine-tuned to your business and offers an empathetic, human-centric approach to enterprise AI.

The system is powered by Intel's Gaudi 3 Al accelerators, which are designed to deliver high performance and efficiency.

The service is available on Intel's Tiber Al Cloud, providing a managed cloud infrastructure for developing, accelerating, and deploying Al applications at scale.

Inflection Al's platform, Inflection 3.0, focuses on fine-tuning models using proprietary datasets to build enterprise-specific Al applications.

The system will be available as an industry-first Al appliance powered by Gaudi 3, expected to ship to customers in Q1 2025.

This collaboration aims to set a new standard for Al solutions that deliver immediate, high-impact results for enterprises.

Inflection AI and Intel will also enable developers to build enterprise applications for Inflection for Enterprise, leveraging the robust and human-centric Inflection 3.0 system, to generate critical software tools.

Inflection AI COO, Ted Shelton, said, "Every CEO and CTO we speak to is frustrated that existing AI tools on the market aren’t truly enterprise-grade. Enterprise organizations need more than generic off-the-shelf AI, but they don’t have the expertise to fine-tune a model themselves. We’re proud to offer an AI system that solves these problems, and with the performance gains we see from running on Intel Gaudi, we know it can scale to meet the needs of any enterprise.”

Inflection Al is was founded by entrepreneurs Reid Hoffman (Co-founder and executive chairman of LinkedIn), Mustafa Suleyman (CEO of Microsoft AI, and the co-founder and former head of applied AI at DeepMind) and Karén Simonyan in 2022.

In June this year, Inflection AI was acquired by Microsoft for $650 million. Inflection AI co-founders, Suleyman and Simonyan, announced their departure from the company in order to start Microsoft AI, with Microsoft acqui-hiring nearly the entirety of its 70-person workforce of Inflection AI.

Inflection Al has also collaborated with NVIDIA to develop hardware for generative artificial intelligence.
