Modal, Suno, Together AI, and Twelve Labs
leverage Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and OCI Supercluster to train
and inference next-generation AI models
AUSTIN,
Texas, March 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AI
trailblazers are using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) AI
Infrastructure and OCI Supercluster to support the
development and deployment of production-ready AI, including large
language model training for generative AI applications. An influx
of AI companies including Modal, Suno, Together AI, and Twelve Labs
are deploying OCI AI Infrastructure to accelerate AI training and
inferencing at scale.
As the demand for AI continues to surge, AI companies require
secure, reliable, high-performance cloud and AI infrastructure that
allows them to quickly and economically scale GPU instances as
needed. With OCI AI Infrastructure, AI companies have access to
high-performance GPU clusters for machine learning, image
processing, model training, inference computation, physics-based
modeling and simulation, and massively parallel HPC
applications.
"AI innovators have a small margin of error when it comes to
deploying AI infrastructure," said Greg
Pavlik, senior vice president, AI and Data Management
Services, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "OCI brings powerful
computing capabilities and significant cost savings to a variety of
AI use cases and that is why it has become the top destination for
leaders in AI."
Modal, a serverless GPU platform, lets customers run generative
AI models, large-scale batch jobs, and job queues without having to
configure or set up the necessary infrastructure. To support its
rapid expansion to data centers across the world, Modal leveraged
OCI Compute bare metal instances for faster and more
cost-effective inferencing for its customers.
"OCI's unmatched price and performance gives us the scale and
high performance necessary to run massive AI models without
excessive compute costs," said Erik
Bernhardsson, founder and CEO, Modal. "With Modal on OCI,
our customers get full serverless execution while truly only paying
for what they use."
Suno is a leading generative music company whose flagship
product makes realistic, personalized music in seconds. Suno chose
OCI Supercluster to train its proprietary machine learning models
and support growing demand for its next generation of generative
music models.
"We found that the primary value of partnering with Oracle was
around scale," said Mikey Shulman,
founder and CEO, Suno. "Oracle gives us the confidence that as we
grow, we are backed by a provider that can grow and scale with us.
The new OCI Supercluster management capabilities, including user
management, disk management, GPU management, and the ability to add
new machines, were instrumental in helping us improve our
operations."
Together AI is a research-driven AI company providing the
fastest cloud platform for inference and training of generative AI
models. Together AI selected OCI for its strong performance,
built-in security, and white glove engineering support.
"Security was top of mind in selecting a cloud provider to
support our rapid growth," said Vipul Ved
Prakash, founder and CEO, Together AI. "OCI's trusted
security and stability has helped us rapidly scale to support
growing demand from startups and enterprise customers adopting our
Inference, Fine-tuning, and Training solutions for their
industry-leading performance."
Twelve Labs is an AI startup building foundation models for
multimodal video understanding, enabling users to use natural
language to search videos for specific scenes, generate accurate
and insightful text about videos through prompting, and
automatically classify videos based on custom categories. OCI
Compute bare metal GPUs and the high-internode bandwidth OCI
provides allow Twelve Labs to train large-scale models at high
speeds.
"OCI AI Infrastructure allows us to train our models at scale
without compromising quality or speed," said Jae Lee, founder and CEO, Twelve Labs. "OCI
provides the performance, scalability, and cluster networking we
need to further advance video understanding, while significantly
reducing the time and cost necessary to deploy our AI models."
OCI AI Infrastructure offers several capabilities that enable
AI companies to innovate faster
OCI Compute virtual machines
and bare metal GPU instances can power applications for
computer vision, natural language processing, recommendation
systems, and more. OCI Supercluster provides ultra-low
latency cluster networking, HPC storage, and OCI Compute bare metal
instances to train large, complex models, such as large language
models, at scale. Oracle's dedicated engineering support team works
with customers through the entire deployment, from planning to
launch, to help ensure success.
