Creating specialized IT services for AI innovation

When startup Essential AI approached Cirrascale to help it create a new foundational model, the cloud services provider turned to Lenovo and AMD for support. Driving AI innovation, Cirrascale built a brand-new GPU-as-a-service cluster for Essential AI using Lenovo ThinkSystem servers powered by AMD Instinct™ accelerators and AMD EPYC™ processors.
