Belgian AI specialist ReBatch and open source expert Red Hat announce a collaboration to help companies integrate AI solutions into an open source ecosystem.

ReBatch, part of the Cronos Group, specializes in developing customized AI solutions. By joining forces with Red Hat, ReBatch aims to help companies make the most of the opportunities offered by AI. According to co-founder Jorge De Corte, Red Hat plays a central role in this by providing the necessary infrastructure that keeps AI systems running.

The collaboration is a strategic decision, as the software company Piros, also part of the Cronos Group, has also been an important partner of Red Hat for many years.

The explosive growth of AI has created both new opportunities and uncertainties for companies around the world. ReBatch and Red Hat believe that leveraging new technologies, especially AI, is critical to growth. They see open source as the ideal ecosystem to further advance AI developments.

Open source as the key to success

According to De Corte, the potential of open source software is already clearly visible, for example with recent developments such as Meta’s Lama 3.1 model, which is comparable to GPT-4 in some areas. For the future of AI, De Corte sees an important role in platforms that are supported by the community and run on a strong infrastructure such as Red Hat’s.

Luc Van Overmeiren, Partner Ecosystem Country Leader at Red Hat BeLux, emphasizes the importance of collaboration for growth in the AI ​​sector. Red Hat sees ReBatch as a suitable partner that not only has the necessary expertise but also shares the same vision in the area of ​​open source.

The collaboration between ReBatch and Red Hat aims to help companies implement easy-to-use, flexible AI solutions that are fully integrated into a modern ecosystem tailored to the specific needs of the organization. According to De Corte, the two companies want to spark an AI open source revolution and make the possibilities of AI more accessible and affordable for companies.
