SUSE wants a piece of the AI cake, too | TechCrunch

Jun 18, 2024 - techcrunch.com
SUSE, a Luxembourg-based open-source company, is hoping to break into the U.S. market with its new AI strategy and SUSE AI solutions, a vendor- and LLM-agnostic generative AI platform. The company's CEO, Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen, and VP of AI, Pilar Santamaria, believe that the open-source model will provide infinite potential for the enterprise, offering support, security, and long-term assurance. The company also plans to leverage its strong U.S. brand, Rancher, to increase its overall brand recognition.

The new SUSE AI solution aims to help businesses put AI workloads into production in a secure and privacy-first way. Unlike other solutions on the market, SUSE's offering gives enterprises the freedom to run large language models (LLMs) in their own cloud or virtual private cloud, with the necessary access controls and security solutions. The solution is designed to be modular, allowing users to select the vector database of their choice and build a solution that best suits their needs.

Key takeaways:

  • SUSE, a Luxemburg-based open-source company, is hoping that AI will give it a new entryway into the U.S. market, where it has struggled to gain recognition compared to competitors like Red Hat and Canonical.
  • The company is announcing its AI strategy and SUSE AI solutions, a new vendor- and LLM-agnostic generative AI platform.
  • SUSE's AI solution is designed to help businesses put AI workloads into production in a secure and privacy-first way, without having to give their data to third parties.
  • The company has also seen a "tremendous uptick" from former CentOS users migrating to SUSE’s fork after Red Hat changed its development model for the popular Linux-based operating system.
