The opening of the AI Innovation Centre from our partner's Phoenix Systems in Allschwil was my highlight of the week. Thomas Taroni showcased exceptional AI use cases powered by #OpenShiftAI & #WatsonX on the Phoenix AI Cloud. Here are my key takeaways from the event: - AI is disruptive. Start now. AI will be a game-changer for innovation. There are many enterprise use cases that can be implemented much more quickly using AI than by implementing software  - AI is becoming accessible. Anyone can train a model, as was highlighted in the announcement of the #instructLab at the Red Hat Summit. - The future is leaning towards models: Richard Zobrist quoted Chris Wright predicting a shift from 100% applications to 50% AI models and 50% applications soon - Securing models in the sovereign cloud is key, because models are so powerful and anyone can retrieve sensitive data through simple inference Thomas Taroni Thank you for inviting us to this great event. Looking forward to many great joined AI customer success stories

Network APIs are rapidly becoming the hottest topic within the industry at the moment. McKinsey have recently estimated that monetisation of network APIs could be worth $300bn. At last week's Future Net World event @Ray Le Maistre interviewed @Fahim Sabir about Colt's growing experience of using network APIs to support their network on demand capability. Network APIs are key to driving a fast automated customer life cycle which improves customer experience (CX), reduces OPEX (by removing manual operations) and gives a much faster order-to-cash (O2C) time. Fahim states that Colt can deliver some fully orchestrated on-demand services within 5 minutes of ordering. As work continues COLT see AI rapidly becoming a key part of future network API and network on demand services so we shall see some more interesting developments soon. https://lnkd.in/e8rqH2Hj #networkapi #colt #innovation

Great to be recognised for the investment in R&D and Innovation that Edgio has been investing in recent years. Edgio is recognized as both a leader and an outperformer in the latest GigaOm Edge Platform Radar 2024 Report! This report examines 13 top-edge development platforms, evaluating their capabilities and business criteria to provide a comprehensive market overview. Two quotes from the analysts that stand out : "Edgio’s capability to deliver edge-native execution environments, serverless functions, and IaaS-based compute instances positions the vendor in the Innovation/Platform Play quadrant. Edgio is an Outperformer because of its extensive development pipeline and cadence and is positioned in the Leaders circle," the report states. The principle GigaOm analyst, Andrew Green, states, “Edgio’s solution is suitable for a wide range of use cases but is particularly strong for industries such as digital media, ecommerce, financial services, and technology firms. The solution is suitable for both web-delivered services and media and application delivery.”. Edgio recently rolled out bundled pricing that includes all three offerings along with managed security at a flat rate with unlimited traffic. Edgio’s bundled and unlimited traffic pricing can enable organisations to secure and accelerate publicly facing applications with a predictable OpEx.” For more insights, read the blog now or reach out to the team and we will happily talk you through.

According to SemiAnalysis "Europe has less than 4% of globally deployed AI Accelerator FLOPs" while Mistral AI recently stated that "Europe lacks the data centres to train artificial intelligence models" and that “we are reaching the capacity; we need to build datacentres and ensure there is enough electricity for the scale of AI development today." Nscale is deploying large-scale AI infrastructure at its data centre in Northern Norway (which offers 60 MW of contiguous capacity and benefits from stable supply of low-cost renewable power) and is actively developing 100s of MW of pipeline to deliver sustainable, high-performance, and cost-effective infrastructure to accelerate AI in Europe and beyond.
