HPC outfit OCF has teamed up with Clarifai to support its increased investment in AI and enhanced AI compute power.
For those who came in late, Clarifai’s deep learning AI platform uses machine learning to understand unstructured image, video, text and audio data. Data scientists, developers and researchers working with OCF will, it is claimed, benefit from the easy integration of Clarifai’s AI platform to identify and analyse images, videos and text significantly faster.
OCF Sales Director Andrew Dean said: “OCF has been supplying infrastructure for AI and machine learning for a number of years. Clarifai’s comprehensive software platform and pre-trained AI models will integrate with this infrastructure, enabling our customers to develop powerful AI applications using image analysis and natural language processing (NLP), whatever their business or research requirements.
“Computer vision is an important space within AI both in terms of computing and video/image management. With Clarifai, we can help our customers in their AI journey with a complete computer vision AI solution.”
Clarifai CEO Matt Zeiler, said: “Computer vision, especially over video, is incredibly computationally intensive. Clarifai has been a leader in computer vision ever since winning ImageNet in 2013. We’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible in terms of AI computation on the cloud, for bare-metal on-premise deployments and on edge devices.
Every tool in Clarifai’s AI ecosystem can be deployed via Kubernetes. We can create deployment configurations that only include the tools you need. Clarifai has gRPC APIs for every programming language, so any application can run its AI using Clarifai.”
This means that Clarifai is a fast way for developers and data scientists to label data, build and train models and connect these models into workflows. Clarifai comes pre-loaded with hundreds of ready-to-use models to accelerate time-to-value.
