Linux Foundation Announces Open Platform for Building Enterprise AIs

The Linux Foundation AI & Data Foundation has recently announced the Open Platform for Enterprise AI (OPEA) as its latest Sandbox Project. OPEA is a collaborative effort that brings together industry leaders, including Intel, Red Hat, VMware, Cloudera, MariaDB Foundation, and others, to develop open-source AI solutions for companies worldwide.
Key Features and Goals
The Open Platform for Enterprise AI aims to champion the development of open, multi-provider, robust, and composable Generative AI (GenAI) systems. The project focuses on fostering open standards for the data infrastructure needed to run enterprise AI applications. One of the main interests of OPEA is retrieval augmented generation (RAG), a technique that has the potential to unlock significant value from existing data repositories.
Benefits and Impact
The Open Platform for Enterprise AI is expected to accelerate secure and cost-effective generative AI deployments for businesses by driving interoperability across a diverse and heterogeneous ecosystem. By developing open standards and promoting collaboration among industry leaders, OPEA aims to provide enterprises with open, multi-provider AI systems that can drive unprecedented innovation and value for Generative AI.
Collaboration and Industry Support
OPEA has garnered support from various industry stakeholders, including Anyscale, Cloudera, Datastax, Domino Data Lab, Hugging Face, Intel, KX, MariaDB Foundation, Minio, Qdrant, Red Hat, SAS, VMware, Yellowbrick Data, and Zilliz, and more. The collaboration between these companies and the Linux Foundation AI & Data Foundation is expected to pave the way for the release of hardened, scalable generative AI systems that harness the best open-source innovation from across the ecosystem.
Open Platform for Enterprise AI (OPEA), which has joined LF AI & Data to offer open-source standardized modular and heterogeneous RAG pipelines for enterprises. OPEA focuses on open model development, support for various compilers and toolchains, and aims to unlock new possibilities in AI by creating a detailed, composable framework. The initiative is crucial for the future of AI development, advocating for open source and standards from datasets to APIs and models, enabling transparent building of AI data infrastructure.
Open Platform for Enterprise AI
