Rebellions and Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced Red Hat OpenShift AI powered by Rebellions neural processing units (NPUs), integrating Red Hat’s scalable, flexible and open source AI inference capabilities with Rebellions’ energy-efficient NPUs to deliver a validated full-stack enterprise AI platform. This collaboration fully supports Red Hat’s goal to deliver “any model, any accelerator, any cloud” to customers globally by enabling more choice and optionality in the architectures underpinning AI workloads.
As organizations move AI initiatives into actual business use cases, challenges such as infrastructure costs, deployment complexity, and the need for flexible environments with enhanced security footprints are becoming more prominent. GPU-centric environments on their own can be insufficient to meet the performance and efficiency demands at scale. Red Hat OpenShift AI powered by Rebellions NPUs addresses these challenges by enabling organizations to operate AI workloads more efficiently across environments.
Rebellions’ NPUs are designed with an architecture optimized for AI inference, delivering enhanced energy efficiency compared to traditional GPUs, more effectively reducing data center deployment and operational costs at both the server and rack levels. Their specialized full-stack software and support for leading open source AI frameworks provide the same level of convenient development environment to that of GPUs.
Red Hat OpenShift AI powered by Rebellions NPUs offers a fully integrated solution, from hardware to model serving, that has been validated by Red Hat and Rebellions for enterprise-grade compatibility. Rebellions' software stack runs natively on Red Hat OpenShift AI, reducing overhead and accelerating deployment. The Rebellions NPU Operator, certified for Red Hat OpenShift, enables more seamless integration and trusted support across on-premises and multi-cloud environments, helping to meet data sovereignty and regulatory compliance. This solution provides:
- Enterprise-ready AI at scale: Run large language models (LLMs) and inference workloads with high throughput, low latency and superior power efficiency, leveraging vLLM integrated with Rebellions' rack-scale NPU solutions for distributed processing.
- Secure and compliant: Keep data on-premises and meet regulatory requirements with Red Hat's trusted platform and Rebellions' secure hardware.
- Simplified operations: Manage NPUs like GPUs, using Red Hat's unified platform, reducing complexity and accelerating adoption.
- Flexible and scalable: Deploy where your data lives, from core to edge, with linear scale-out.
