Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) recently announced it has acquired an artificial intelligence startup Determined AI. The company said that the reason for this acquisition is to train artificial intelligence models faster utilizing Determined AI’s open-source machine learning (ML) platform.
The company plans to combine the startup’s artificial intelligence platform with its own high-performance computing platform to reduce the production time of artificial intelligence-powered products for better and quicker customer service.
Determined AI was founded in 2017 by Evan Sparks, Neil Conway, and Ameet Talwalkar in San Francisco. The company quickly became popular in the industry after the launch of its open-source artificial intelligence platform in 2020. Their platform has been used in several different industries like autonomous vehicles, defense contracting, biopharmaceuticals, and manufacturing.
