AI startup Inflection announced its new system Inflection for Enterprise on Monday (Oct. 7). It will be made in collaboration with tech giant Intel.
Inflection AI saw a shake-up earlier this year when one of its key founders Mustafa Suleyman left to work for Microsoft. While the company gained traction in the industry with the launch of its chatbot Pi, it has now turned to focus more on the commercial market.
Working with Intel signifies a new era for Inflection too. The company said in a statement: “While Inflection AI’s Pi consumer application was previously run on Nvidia GPUs, Inflection 3.0 will be powered by Gaudi 3 with instances on-premises or in the cloud powered by AI Cloud. This not only cuts down on time to deploy but also the total cost of ownership.”
The new platform will run on Inflection 3.0. It will be powered by Intel’s Gaudi 3 AI accelerators and Tiber AI Cloud. Inflection claims this will have twice the improved price performance compared to its competitors
Sean White, CEO of Inflection, wrote in a blog post: “When building Inflection for Enterprise, we asked CEOs and CTOs of large enterprises what they felt was missing from other AI solutions today.
“We heard time and again that they need more than a chatbot, they need a system. We also heard that generic, off-the-shelf AI isn’t enough, they need a solution that understands the nuances of their business.”
He claims that this system will be the only one where companies can own all of their data, their model and what it runs on. It can be hosted on site, in the cloud or a hybrid of both. By the first quarter of 2025, a physical system system should be on offer.
Inflection also announced its new commercial application programming interface (API). This allows developers to access the company’s large language model to create conversational AI.
