A key collaboration has resulted in the launch of a decentralised AI operating system designed to facilitate seamless AI deployment, providing developers, engineers, enterprises, and startups a robust platform to build, deploy, and manage their AI applications with ease.

Core42, a G42 company and leading provider of sovereign cloud, AI infrastructure and services, and Airev, aiming to drive global transformation through artificial intelligence, have launched the OnDemand AI Operating System (AIOS) – a collaboration that marks a major milestone in the regional AI landscape, and is the first significant joint effort since their partnership announcement in February this year.

Developed by Airev and built on Core42’s foundational infrastructure, key features of OnDemand include its ability to facilitate AI model deployment directly from sources like Hugging Face, supporting both open-source and closed-source models.

OnDemand also allows users to deploy their own models, offering flexibility and customisation. With its Plugins and Marketplace ecosystem, it offers a marketplace where developers can create, deploy, and sell plugins and agents, fostering a vibrant ecosystem of AI tools.

Enterprises can also export these plugins and integrate them into their own platforms. For complex API integrations, OnDemand supports multi-step Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

Furthermore, the platform offers a low-code solution, making AI development accessible even after small API integrations, while verified system integrators available on the platform assist in building out use cases and providing additional support when required.

“We are excited to see the incredible potential of the OnDemand AIOS realized through this collaboration. Our advanced infrastructure will empower developers and enterprises to harness the full power of AI,” said Muhammed Khalid, CEO of Airev.

Core42’s foundational infrastructure ensures the reliability and scalability of OnDemand. The company’s state-of-the-art AI compute power utilizes high-performance GPUs to handle intensive AI training and inference tasks.

Enterprises and developers will also benefit from a diverse library of predefined models, including JAIS, the world’s most performant Arabic Large Language Model, Azure OpenAI GPT-4 Family, and numerous other models available for enterprises and developers.

Core42 further empowers OnDemand users by integrating with Cerebras to ensure cutting-edge AI training capacity on the existing Condor Galaxy clusters, enhancing optionality for customers globally.

"We are thrilled to collaborate with Airev in launching the OnDemand AI Operating System. This groundbreaking platform exemplifies our commitment to driving AI innovation and empowering businesses across the Middle East and beyond,” Talal Alkaissi, Chief Partnerships & Government Affairs Officer, Core42.

“By leveraging Core42's state-of-the-art infrastructure, we are enabling developers and enterprises to unlock unprecedented capabilities and accelerate their journey towards a smarter, AI-driven future.”

OnDemand’s powerful combination of cutting-edge infrastructure and innovative AI solutions is set to revolutionise the way AI applications are developed and deployed, both regionally and globally.

While the partnership focuses on the Middle East, the decentralised nature of OnDemand ensures that AI applications can be deployed and managed anywhere in the world, supporting international AI innovation and collaboration.

The platform also aligns with the UAE's National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence 2031, lowering barriers to AI development and providing a platform for developers and enterprises to create AI-driven solutions across various industries.

Additionally, by enabling rapid AI deployment, OnDemand supports economic growth by empowering businesses across the region enhance their operations and drive economic development. – TradeArabia News Service
