Dell Technologies collaborates with Meta to deploy GenAI

Dell Technologies is collaborating with Meta to seamlessly deploy Meta's Llama 2 model for Dell customers by integrating it with Dell's Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) infrastructure, client devices, and professional services. The company aims to simplify the deployment of Meta's Llama 2 model through Dell's Generative Artificial Intelligence solution. Dell's validated design for the GenAI solution provides customers with pre-tested software and hardware infrastructure specifically built for GenAI work. Following this announcement, Dell Technologies has announced the expansion of its Dell Generative Artificial Intelligence solution portfolio to help businesses transform their way of working and gain assistance in their generative AI journey. Open-source generative AI is intended to drive innovation. This collaboration aims to simplify on-premises generative AI environments by combining Dell's popular infrastructure product line with the Llama 2 series of AI models. Customers can accelerate their generative AI work in traditional data centers or edge locations. Dell also integrates Meta's Llama 2 model into its system sizing tool to help guide customers in selecting the right solution for their Llama 2-based AI work. Jeff Boudreau, Dell Technologies' recently appointed Chief AI Officer, said, "We are at the beginning of a new era where generative AI is transforming how industries operate, innovate, and compete." The combination of Meta's Llama 2 with the breadth of Dell's Generative AI solution technology and service portfolio enables organizations of all sizes to utilize more reliable tools for generative AI solutions, from desktops to core data centers, edge locations, and public clouds. Michael Dell, CEO of Dell Technologies, stated on LinkedIn, "The progress of open-source models is astounding. Being able to use these models alongside customers' proprietary data unlocks tremendous opportunities. Our collaboration with Meta on Llama 2 is a great example."
