OmniML announced a new strategic partnership with Intel to accelerate the development and deployment of AI applications for enterprises of all sizes. The two companies will collaborate on community and customer growth opportunities via the Intel Disruptor Initiative to provide greater access to OmniML's pioneering software platform, Omnimizer®. OmniML and Intel have teamed up to bridge the dividing gap between model training and inferencing by incorporating hardware-efficient AI development from the outset.

To kick off this collaboration, OmniML demonstrated superior performance for one of the most popular language models on Intel platforms. OmniML, using its Omnimizer platform and 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors and integrated acceleration via Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (Intel AMX) technology, achieved over 10x speedup in processing words per second over a multi-language DistilBERT. Omnimizer® is an ML platform that facilitates and automates machine learning (ML) model design, training, and deployment. It unifies the ML development and deployment workflows to help users identify design flaws and performance bottlenecks to get models into production faster with superior runtime.

Omnimizer provides a cloud-native interface to rapidly profile and visualize ML model performance on Intel and other hardware devices to ensure the model is properly adapted to run efficiently. Omnimizer has demonstrated a significant performance boost for many applications in computer vision and natural language processing for multinational corporations and fast-growing start-up companies. Using Omnimizer to increase the efficiency of transformer-based language models opens up a wide range of use cases that weren't possible before and lowers the total cost of ownership when utilizing language models for both on-device AI and cloud inferencing.

The OmniML and Intel collaboration builds upon the strengths of each company that creates a winning combination with OmniML's software-based development platform on top of the latest generation of the Intel Xeon processor family.
