Transaction reinforces Red Hat's commitment to enabling customized, secure, and scalable artificial intelligence for a variety of organizations<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On Wednesday (13), Red Hat completed the acquisition process to acquire Neural Magic, a North American company, pioneer in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) software and algorithms. Neural Magic\u2019s expertise in performance engineering, together with its commitment to open source, aligns with Red Hat\u2019s vision for delivering high-performance AI that fits different scenarios and customer use cases, anywhere in the hybrid cloud.<\/p>\n

While the promise of GenAI dominates much of today\u2019s technology landscape, the large language models (LLMs) that underpin these systems continue to grow. As a result, building reliable and cost-effective LLM services requires significant computing power, energy resources, and specialized operational skills. These obstacles currently make the benefits of personalized, deployment-ready, and safer AI unfeasible for most organizations.<\/p>\n

With the acquisition of Neural Magic, Red Hat aims to address these challenges by making GenAI more accessible to more organizations through the open innovation of vLLM. Developed by UC Berkeley, vLLM is a community-driven, open source project for open model serving (how GenAI models infer and solve problems), with support for all major model families, advanced inference acceleration research, and a variety of hardware backends including AMD GPUs, AWS Neuron, Google TPUs, Intel Gaudi, NVIDIA GPUs, and x86 CPUs. Neural Magic\u2019s leadership in the vLLM project combined with Red Hat\u2019s strong portfolio of hybrid cloud AI technologies will provide organizations with an open path to building AI strategies that meet their unique needs, wherever their data resides.<\/p>\n

For Matt Hicks, President and CEO of the company, the acquisition of Neural Magic, together with the development of the vLLM initiative, are the first step in establishing the company as a reference in artificial intelligence. \u201cWe are excited to complement our hybrid cloud-focused AI portfolio with Neural Magic\u2019s breakthrough AI innovation, furthering our desire to be not just the \u2018Red Hat of open source,\u2019 but also the \u2018Red Hat of AI,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Red Hat + Neural Magic: Enabling a Hybrid Cloud-Ready Gen AI Future <\/strong><\/p>\n

Neural Magic was spun out of MIT in 2018 with the goal of building high-performance inference software for deep learning. With Neural Magic\u2019s technology and performance engineering expertise, Red Hat is accelerating its vision for the future of AI, powered by Red Hat\u2019s AI technology portfolio. Built to solve the challenges of enterprise AI at scale, the company uses open source innovation to further democratize access to the transformative power of AI through:<\/p>\n
