Determined AI is a startup founded in 2017 by AI researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. The company is working on open source machine learning models, etc., and has a track record of reducing the calculation time required for drug discovery by a pharmaceutical company's AI from 3 days to 3 hours, and has strengths in accelerating AI. A company.

HPE announced today that it has acquired Determined AI, an open source machine learning platform that provides powerful software for training AI models at high speeds at all scales.



Building and training machine learning models is said to be the most important and difficult stage of AI development. In order for AI to learn a huge amount of data, it is necessary

to properly build and manage a dedicated CPU, storage, fabric, etc., and then efficiently program and schedule a machine learning model to carry out training. Must be. By fusing the Determined AI platform, which supports the difficult tasks associated with building AI, with the high performance computing that HPE has cultivated, AI development can be simplified and the time to market can be shortened. That is.

Justin Hotard, Senior Vice President of High Performance Computing and Mission Critical Solutions at HPE, said in a statement, 'With Determined AI's unique open source platform, machine learning engineers will be in the infrastructure. You can quickly build models and get your AI business up and running quickly without being distracted. In this way, the Determined AI team shares a vision of making AI more accessible to customers and users. We are delighted to welcome you to our HPE family. '

'AI has become more and more popular in the fields of computing, data processing, and communications over the last few years,' said Evan Sparks of Determined AI. Industry-leading HPE high-performance computing Combining ing with our AI solutions can accelerate our goal of building state-of-the-art AI applications and significantly expand our customer base. '



Details such as the amount and contract terms when HPE acquired Determined AI this time are unknown. HPE has been hosting an online developer event, HPE Discover 2021 , since June 22, 2021, with Sparks on stage on the second day, the 23rd, about the future of high performance computing and AI. I plan to talk.
