As artificial intelligence's (AI) success is making its adoption a focus, IBM has launched watsonx, its data and (AI) platform to help companies deploy AI models in their business. At its annual Think conference, the company said that watsonx will be released for foundation models and generative AI, offering a studio, data store and governance toolkit.
How it will help businesses IBM will enable enterprises to scale and accelerate the impact of the most advanced AI with trusted data, which is used to train, tune and deploy AI models, to run across any cloud environment.
“Foundation models make deploying AI significantly more scalable, affordable, and efficient. We built IBM watsonx for the needs of enterprises, so that clients can be more than just users, they can become AI advantaged. With IBM watsonx, clients can quickly train and deploy custom AI capabilities across their entire business, all while retaining full control of their data,” said Arvind Krishna, IBM chairman and CEO.
Businesses will have access to the toolset, technology, infrastructure and consulting expertise to build their own (or fine-tune and adapt available AI models) on their own data and deploy them at scale in a more trustworthy and open environment.
According to IBM, businesses can use the watsonx platform to automatically generate code using natural language and use various large language models built for different purposes such as chemical creation or climate change modelling.
IBM watsonx product sets IBM watsonx has three product sets: IBM watsonx.ai, IBM watsonx.data and IBM watsonx.governance.
IBM watsonx.ai is an enterprise studio, expected to be generally available in July 2023, for AI builders to train, test, tune, and deploy both traditional machine learning and new generative AI capabilities.
IBM watsonx.data is a data store built on open lakehouse architecture that is optimised for governed data and AI workloads. The solution is expected to be generally available in July 2023.
IBM watsonx.governance is an AI governance toolkit to enable trusted AI workflows. The solution, expected to be generally available later this year.
