IBM is working to make AI model training faster and more efficient with its Blue Vela supercomputer. The system can handle multiple tasks simultaneously, such as training, testing, and running models. IBM achieved impressive speed in testing Meta's largest Llama model, loading saved progress in 23 seconds and saving it in 37 seconds. The company's newest AI system, built with CoreWeave and NVIDIA's platform, trained a large Llama model in under 28 minutes. Analysts have a Moderate Buy consensus rating on IBM stock with an average price target of $297.33 per share.
IBM is making significant strides in AI model training efficiency with its Blue Vela supercomputer. This advanced system is designed to handle multiple AI workloads concurrently, including training, testing, and running models. The Blue Vela supercomputer, built in partnership with NVIDIA and Dell, is particularly notable for its ability to streamline various aspects of the training process, including pre-training, fine-tuning, evaluation, and inference tasks [1].In a recent benchmark test, IBM demonstrated impressive speed in handling large-scale AI models. The system was able to load saved progress for Meta's largest Llama model in just 23 seconds and save it in 37 seconds. This performance underscores the efficiency and reliability of IBM's storage solutions in managing the demanding requirements of AI workloads [1].
IBM's latest AI cluster, built in partnership with CoreWeave and based on the NVIDIA GB200 platform, further exemplifies the company's commitment to innovation. This system trained a large Llama model in under 28 minutes, showcasing the rapid advancements in AI model training efficiency. The cluster will also include a considerably more powerful IBM Storage Scale 6000 storage system when fully deployed [1].
Analysts have a Moderate Buy consensus rating on IBM stock, with an average price target of $297.33 per share. This positive outlook reflects the market's confidence in IBM's technological advancements and its potential to drive growth through innovative AI solutions [2].
