Core42 launches inference-as-a-service platform

The explosive growth of generative AI applications — from image generation to chatbots and code development — has introduced a new level of complexity for businesses seeking to optimise their AI infrastructure. For many users, scaling AI pipelines while maintaining high performance requires significant computing power and expertise, making it challenging.

Core42 has collaborated with Qualcomm Technologies to address these issues, delivering an innovative inference-as-a-service platform that simplifies AI infrastructure.

This service combines Qualcomm’s AI inference accelerators with Core42’s standardised APIs and pre-built generative AI tools to provide seamless access to the latest AI models and applications. The solution ensures optimal performance and significantly reduces operational costs, making it a game-changer for businesses adopting AI.

“Our inference-as-a-service offering, powered by the Core42 Compass API, is now further enhanced with Qualcomm Technologies’ advanced platform,” said Raghu Chakravarthi, EVP of Engineering and GM Americas at Core42. “We’re optimising AI inference at scale to drive sustainability and transformative outcomes across industries. This collaboration strengthens our technological capabilities and accelerates our global expansion.”

Core42’s new platform offers seamless integration

The platform enables users to easily integrate new AI models, ensuring they remain at the forefront of innovation. Businesses can choose from optimised inference containers compatible with any orchestration platform, accelerated APIs, or a user-friendly interface.

With autoscaling support at both the server and model levels, it adapts to changing performance needs in real-time.

Moreover, the platform provides developers with a suite of pre-built generative AI applications for tasks such as chat, image, and code generation. Custom application development is also supported, using familiar frameworks to simplify the process.

“We are proud to support Core42 with a seamless, scalable solution that makes AI accessible, affordable, and powerful,” said Rashid Attar, VP of Cloud Computing at Qualcomm Technologies. “At less than half the cost of alternatives, our solution allows businesses to stay ahead of the curve without the burden of managing complex infrastructure.”
