IBM and AWS have announced that during AWS re:Invent, the companies will unveil details about their collaboration to help businesses adopt responsible AI. The event will explore how IBM Granite models will be applied within AWS environments, particularly across Amazon SageMaker and Amazon Bedrock, as well as infrastructure and application layers.
The IBM Granite series of open, enterprise-grade foundation models promises to empower AWS customers to scale their AI journey with high-performance models tailored to their business needs, with the latest Granite 3.0 models already available on SageMaker.
The companies also shared that the event will highlight the launch of new integrations between IBM watsonx.governance and Amazon SageMaker, as well as other new security, data and automation capabilities – such as full stack observability for Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker with IBM Instana.
“IBM is one of our largest partners for both technology and consulting, and together we are at the forefront of enabling the democratization of AI,” said Chris Grusz, managing director of technology partnerships at AWS.
“IBM has gone far beyond making its technology available on our platforms, it is prioritizing integration with AWS at each layer of the AI stack, making it easier for our mutual customers to choose the technology that best fits their needs and benefit from responsible AI in new ways.”
IBM and AWS added that at AWS re:Invent, IBM Consulting will be present to demonstrate how GenAI can help strengthen existing joint solutions including IBM Consulting Contact Center Intelligence, IBM Consulting AIOps on AWS, IBM Consulting Digital KYC and IBM Consulting Supply Chain Ensemble.
Users will be able to witness how IBM Consulting is helping develop custom solutions using Amazon Q to meet specific business needs including creating new applications, integrating Amazon Q into existing systems or developing custom APIs.
