Intel in collaboration with DigitalBridge Group, a global investment company has announced the formation of an independent company named Articul8 AI (pronounced Articulate AI) to offer a “full-stack, vertically-optimized and secure generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) software platform” for enterprise customers.

According to the official press note, the company has been created using intellectual property (IP) and technology developed by Intel and other two companies to drive generative AI adoption in the enterprise market. Intel has named Arun Subramaniyan as the CEO of Articul8, who previously served as president and general manager of Intel’s Data Center and AI Group.

“With its deep AI and HPC domain knowledge and enterprise-grade GenAI deployments, Articul8 is well positioned to deliver tangible business outcomes for Intel and our broader ecosystem of customers and partners. As Intel accelerates AI everywhere, we look forward to our continued collaboration with Articul8,” said Pat Gelsinger, Intel CEO.

Articul8 is said to offer secure and cost-effective generative AI services to enterprises, which will be built on top of Intel hardware such as Intel Xeon Scalable processors and Intel Gaudi accelerators with support for alternative hybrid infrastructure.

Articul8 will remain an independent company and will work towards “Solving the World’s Toughest Problems with Generative AI.” As per the official website, Articul8 will offer production-grade generative AI solutions with rapid deployment at a sustainable cost. These services do not require cloud or lock-in hardware and also include dedicated enterprise support.

Some of the capabilities of the Articul8 include less than 100ms search latency, unlimited token usage, and 1000+ concurrent users. It will also offer ready-to-consume APIs for easy deployment of generative AI applications with support for technologies like ModelMesh, FlexLLM, and LLM-IQ. Similarly, there is also support for flexible infrastructure, which allows the deployment of gen AI services using existing infrastructure.
