MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., September 12, 2023 – Esperanto Technologies™, the leading developer of high-performance, energy-efficient artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) solutions based on the RISC-V instruction set, today announced the industry’s first Generative AI Appliance based on RISC-V technology. Esperanto’s Data Science team contributed heavily to its design, targeting customers wanting to develop and deploy business applications quickly using the latest open-source Generative AI foundation models. Esperanto’s Generative AI Appliance is an integrated software/hardware solution that can be installed in private datacenters or at the enterprise edge using an industry-standard server form factor. Because it is preloaded and self-contained, it delivers high levels of data privacy and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) while eliminating the need for developers to constantly download, port and tune the latest Large Language Models (LLMs) and Diffusion Models to expensive GPU-based hardware.
