Clarifai revolutionizes AI: intelligent orchestration for every infrastructure

Clarifai has launched a revolutionary platform that simplifies the management of artificial intelligence (AI), ensuring flexibility of use, cost reduction, and scalability for every type of infrastructure, from the cloud to on-premise environments.

Let’s see all the details in this article. 

AI: the new Clarifai platform promises flexibility, savings, and maximum reliability

Clarifai, leader in artificial intelligence solutions, announced on December 3, 2024, the launch of a new compute orchestration platform.

This innovation offers companies the possibility to optimize AI-related workloads on infrastructures of any type, eliminating vendor constraints and significantly reducing operational costs.

The platform is based on a unified control plan, allowing organizations to easily manage their artificial intelligence models, regardless of the environment in which they operate.

Whether it is cloud, local infrastructure, or completely isolated environments, Clarifai ensures centralized, flexible, and secure management.

According to Matt Zeiler, founder and CEO of Clarifai, the new feature represents the fruit of over a decade of experience in the sector: 

“We have developed advanced tools for businesses and public administration, and now we make these technologies available to optimize computing costs, while scaling to support millions of models simultaneously.”

One of the most impressive aspects of the platform is the ability to reduce computation usage by up to 3.7 times, supporting over 1.6 million inference requests per second with an almost perfect reliability of 99.9997%. 

These optimizations can result in a cost reduction ranging from 60% to 90%, depending on the specific configuration of the company.

Main features of the platform

The new orchestration feature offers a series of advanced tools to improve resource management.

First of all, cost optimization: through model packaging, automatic resource management, and flexible scalability, companies can adjust operations to their needs.

Then, maximum flexibility, meaning compatibility with hardware from any vendor, whether it is public cloud, on-premise infrastructures, or air-gapped solutions.

Furthermore, complete integration: possibility to combine orchestration with other Clarifai tools for labeling, training, evaluation, and management of bull and bear workflows.

Finally, advanced security, since the platform allows secure implementations in customers’ VPCs or on-premise Kubernetes clusters, without the need for open inbound ports or complex configurations.

The platform was created in response to feedback from Clarifai’s customers, who highlighted difficulties in balancing performance and costs in different environments. 

A client highlighted how the ability to compare and orchestrate costs between cloud and on-premises environments represents a fundamental added value.

Thanks to these capabilities, Clarifai aims to address the most complex challenges of modern enterprises, offering a scalable and highly reliable solution. 

With over 2 billion operations already processed in computer vision, language, and audio, the company has demonstrated the robustness of its existing AI platform.

Availability and access to the new functionality

Currently, the compute orchestration functionality is available in public preview. Organizations interested in exploring the potential of this platform can contact Clarifai directly to request access.

With this innovation, Clarifai consolidates its leadership position in the landscape of artificial intelligence, offering businesses the necessary tools to face the challenges of the future in a sustainable, safe, and effective way.
