HPE will combine Determined AI’s innovative open-source AI
training platform with its high performance computing solutions to
enable machine learning engineers speed time-to-production for
AI
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced that it
has acquired Determined AI, a San Francisco-based startup that
delivers a powerful and robust software stack to train AI models
faster, at any scale, using its open source machine learning (ML)
platform.
HPE will combine Determined AI’s unique software solution with
its world-leading AI and high performance computing (HPC) offerings
to enable ML engineers to easily implement and train machine
learning models to provide faster and more accurate insights from
their data in almost every industry.
“As we enter the Age of Insight, our customers recognize the
need to add machine learning to deliver better and faster answers
from their data,” said Justin Hotard, senior vice president and
general manager, HPC and Mission Critical Solutions (MCS), HPE.
“AI-powered technologies will play an increasingly critical role in
turning data into readily available, actionable information to fuel
this new era. Determined AI’s unique open source platform allows ML
engineers to build models faster and deliver business value sooner
without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure. I am
pleased to welcome the world-class Determined AI team, who share
our vision to make AI more accessible for our customers and users,
into the HPE family.”
Determined AI accelerates innovation with open source AI
solutions to build and train models faster and easier
Building and training optimized machine learning models at scale
is considered the most demanding and critical stage of ML
development, and doing it well increasingly requires researchers
and scientists to face many challenges frequently found in HPC.
These include properly setting up and managing a highly parallel
software ecosystem and infrastructure spanning specialized compute,
storage, fabric and accelerators. Additionally, users need to
program, schedule and train their models efficiently to maximize
the utilization of the highly specialized infrastructure they have
set up, creating complexity and slowing down productivity.
Determined AI’s open source machine learning training platform
closes this gap to help researchers and scientists to focus on
innovation and accelerate their time to delivery by removing the
complexity and cost associated with machine learning development.
This includes making it easy to set-up, configure, manage and share
workstations or AI clusters that run on-premises or in the
cloud.
Determined AI also makes it easier and faster for users to train
their models through a range of capabilities that significantly
speed up training, which in one use case related to drug discovery,
went from three days to three hours. These capabilities include
accelerator scheduling, fault tolerance, high speed parallel and
distributed training of models, advanced hyperparameter
optimization and neural architecture search, reproducible
collaboration and metrics tracking.
“The Determined AI team is excited to join HPE, who shares our
vision to realize the potential of AI,” said Evan Sparks, CEO of
Determined AI. “Over the last several years, building AI
applications has become extremely compute, data, and communication
intensive. By combining with HPE’s industry-leading HPC and AI
solutions, we can accelerate our mission to build cutting edge AI
applications and significantly expand our customer reach.”
HPC – the foundation for delivering speed-to-insight and AI
at scale
AI training is continuing to fuel projects and innovation with
intelligence, and to do so effectively, and at scale, will require
specialized computing. According to IDC, the accelerated AI server
market, which plays an integral role in providing targeted
capabilities for image and data-intensive training, is expected to
grow by 38% each year and reach $18B by 2024.
The massive computing power of HPC is also increasingly being
used to train and optimize AI models, in addition to combining with
AI to augment workloads such as modeling and simulation, which are
well-established tools to speed time-to-discovery. Intersect360
Research notes that the HPC market will grow by more than 40%,
reaching almost $55 billion in revenue by 2024.
To tackle the growing complexity of AI with faster
time-to-market, HPE is committed to continue delivering advanced
and diverse HPC solutions to train machine learning models and
optimize applications for any AI need, in any environment. By
combining Determined AI’s open source capabilities, HPE is
furthering its mission in making AI heterogeneous and empowering ML
engineers to build AI models at a greater scale.
Additionally, through HPE GreenLake cloud services for High
Performance Computing (HPC), HPE is making HPC and AI solutions
even more accessible and affordable to the commercial market with
fully managed services that can run in a customer’s data center, in
a colocation or at the edge using the HPE GreenLake edge to cloud
platform.
The Determined AI team will join HPE’s High Performance
Computing (HPC) & Mission Critical Solutions (MCS)
business group
Determined AI was founded in 2017 by Neil Conway, Evan Sparks,
and Ameet Talwalkar, and based in San Francisco. It launched its
open-source platform in 2020, and as a result of its focus on model
training, Determined AI has quickly emerged as a leading player in
the evolving machine learning software ecosystem. Its solution has
been adopted by customers across a wide range of industries, such
as biopharmaceuticals, autonomous vehicles, defense contracting,
and manufacturing.
