The AI Alliance spearheaded by
@IBM and
@Meta isn’t a surprise, but I’m surprised it took this long for one to be created.
At AMD, we used to call this the “virtual gorilla”.
The project areas are spot on and I urge you to read between the lines.
It’s an impressive first list of Founding Members and Collaborators like AMD, Anyscale, CERN, Cerebras, Cleveland Clinic, Cornell University, Dartmouth, Dell Technologies, EPFL, ETH, Hugging Face, Imperial College London, Intel, INSAIT, Linux Foundation, MLCommons, MOC Alliance operated by Boston University and Harvard University, NASA, NSF, Oracle, Partnership on AI, Red Hat, Roadzen, ServiceNow, Sony Group, Stability AI, University of California Berkeley, University of Illinois, University of Notre Dame, The University of Tokyo, Yale University and others.
I’d like to see networking vendors and more SaaS in here. I recognize that more isn’t always better and this is the beginning.
Its degree of success will be determined by speed of agreement and the investment of real R&D resources. IBM is dedicating specific resources. The alliance needs some quick wins.
