Intel announces the split of its subsidiary, Articul8 AI, into an independent company specializing in generative AI software for industry-specific clients. Articul8 (pronounced “Articulate”) is an internal team within Intel, co-founded with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) in 2023, to develop generative AI software, both open-source and proprietary. The software runs on Intel’s Xeon and Gaudi hardware, located in BCG’s data centers, and is provided exclusively to BCG clients.
While initially catering solely to BCG, Articul8 now aims to expand its business and serve clients from other organizations. To achieve this, the company has decided to establish itself as a separate entity, with external investment led by DigitalBridge Ventures. Arun Subramaniyan, former executive in charge of Intel’s data center division, serves as the CEO. The exact shareholding between Intel and DigitalBridge has not been disclosed.
Articul8’s website highlights its generative AI solutions, catering to various industries such as aviation, finance, telecommunications, semiconductor manufacturers, and government agencies. With their own AI technologies including ModelMesh, FlexLLM, LLM-IQ, and plans to extend their solutions to run on other GPUs like NVIDIA, as well as popular cloud platforms.
TLDR: Intel has split its subsidiary Articul8 AI to create an independent company specializing in generative AI software for industry-specific clients. Originally established in partnership with the Boston Consulting Group, Articul8 now aims to expand its services beyond BCG and has attracted external investment from DigitalBridge Ventures. The company offers a range of generative AI solutions for industries such as aviation, finance, telecommunications, and government agencies, and plans to extend compatibility to other GPUs and cloud platforms.
