Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co (HPE) has announced the launch of a cloud computing service designed to power artificial intelligence systems. The service is being used by a few customers now, with more availability in North America by year’s end and in Europe next year. HPE is now in direct competition with cloud computing providers such as Amazon.com, Microsoft Corp and Alphabet Inc’s Google, who are all racing to adapt their data centers for an era in which chatbots, image generators and other AI-backed services are drawing hundreds of millions of users. HPE is leveraging its experience in supercomputers to offer a service specifically for large language models, the technology behind ChatGPT.
