IBM Extends Watsonx AI Platform Through Strategic Partnerships and Innovations
IBM Unleashes a Flurry of AI Updates
The company is striking new partnerships to extend its AI reach. International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) has found its footing in the AI market by focusing on enterprise customers with complex requirements. The company's watsonx platform caters to companies and organizations that need to train, tune, and deploy AI applications while minding regulatory, legal, and other concerns.
This strategy is going well for IBM so far.
The company has a book of business related to watsonx and generative AI that tops $1 billion, and this figure is growing with each passing quarter. Consulting rather than software accounts for the lion's share of the AI business, positioning IBM to provide not only an AI platform but also guidance and help with implementation.
- IBM open-sourced some of its advanced AI models used for code generation.
- IBM unveiled new AI assistants set to be available later this year.
- IBM is partnering with Amazon Web Services to make the full watsonx platform available directly on AWS.
- IBM is teaming with Salesforce to bring watsonx to the Salesforce Einstein Platform.
- IBM's watsonx platform can now run on Microsoft's Azure cloud platform.
