Bud Ecosystem Inc. was awarded for continually improving and enabling IT ecosystem partners in their ability to be innovative and bold. To qualify as a winner in the Breakthrough Innovation category, organizations must be a member of the Intel Partner Alliance as well as demonstrate over the past year a commitment to innovation and a proven track record of bringing new products and solutions to the market that feature the latest Intel technologies.

Bud Ecosystem Inc. has developed an innovative environment agnostic AI model serving stack which can accelerate CPU inferencing on Xeon with higher throughput, lower latency and concurrency benefits which were not being able to achieve through BU optimization techniques. Bud Inference Engine offers better TCO and ROI benefits on Xeon comparable to GPUs.

They have also pre-trained a 1.4B SLM on Gaudi by developing flash attention stack which could extract the accelerator capabilities. On Intel Core Ultra, they have developed 8 foundational models capable of simultaneous operation without exhausting system resources, maintaining accuracy comparable to larger GPU-confined models. All in all, they are instrumental in breaking the AI = GPU myth and propagating the goodness of Intel Xeon for GenAI workloads.
