Taiwan AI Labs and HPE Forge Partnership: FedGPT Set to Lead the AI PC Revolution
[September 27, 2024] Taiwan AI Labs and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) have officially signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) today, marking a pivotal collaboration to deliver trusted and responsible FedGPT solutions for businesses, as well as public and private sectors, to accelerate the adoption of AI PCs.
This partnership follows Taiwan AI Labs’ successful deployment of FedGPT across universities and enterprises in the third quarter of 2024. FedGPT, a federated GPT model developed by Taiwan AI Labs, is now integrated into HPE servers, serving as the computing backbone for diverse applications. For example, it can answer students’ questions about campus life in schools and assist with legal compliance in enterprises.
Throughout the training process, all data and knowledge remain entirely within the organization, ensuring strict adherence to internal data security and governance standards without relying on third-party cloud services. FedGPT has also passed rigorous testing in areas such as cybersecurity, privacy, hallucination, and bias control, aligning with its core principles of “trusted and responsible” AI.
This collaboration highlights the deep integration of software and hardware, showcasing the strength of Taiwan AI Labs and HPE. FedGPT offers a comprehensive AI platform tailored for hospitals, schools, and businesses. Key features include AutoKB for knowledge base creation, AutoCopilot for integrating internal APIs, and AutoML, which supports the self-learning of language and domain-specific models. Additionally, it incorporates advanced role-based permissions, security, and audit features, ensuring that sensitive data stays within the organization.
HPE’s ProLiant Servers, specifically designed for AI applications, are currently equipped with Intel Xeon Scalable processors and NVIDIA GPUs to accelerate the deployment of generative AI solutions. Looking forward, these servers will integrate more cutting-edge hardware to meet the demands of the AI era.
The Rise of AI PCs: FedGPT as a Trusted OS for Enterprises
According to IDC, global AI PC shipments are expected to grow from nearly 50 million units in 2024 to over 167 million by 2027, with AI PCs accounting for almost 60% of all PC shipments by the end of 2027.
Ethan Tu, Founder of Taiwan AI Labs, emphasized that the next two to three years will be a critical period of explosive growth for the AI PC market. He highlighted that federated architecture moves large language model computing from the cloud to local devices, reducing computing costs, improving performance, and enhancing data privacy protection.
Tu also pointed out that AI services are already widely adopted across industries. Taiwan’s future lies in alliances between top-tier software and hardware partners to establish private network and cloud models within organizations, delivering the most comprehensive and affordable “trusted and responsible” solutions. This, Tu noted, is the path for Taiwan to become a key player in the global AI supply chain. Taiwan AI Labs’ partnership with HPE is just the beginning of efforts to build a robust AI ecosystem through broader industry collaborations.
Jon Wang, Managing Director and President for HPE Taiwan, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, calling it a significant milestone. He noted that by combining FedGPT’s technological strengths with HPE’s computing power, generative AI applications are poised to spread across various industries. Wang expects this partnership to unlock new market opportunities and drive the progress of Taiwan’s AI technology and industry.
