KALRAY JOINS AI PLATFORM ALLIANCE AS INITIAL MEMBER GROUP AIMS TO ENABLE AT-SCALE ADOPTION OF AI

A consortium of 9 companies, including Ampere and Kalray, has established the AI Platform Alliance, with the aim of providing more efficient and cost-effective AI solutions to the industry.

Grenoble - France, October 20, 2023 - Kalray (Euronext Growth Paris: ALKAL), a leader in hardware and software technologies dedicated to data management and intensive processing from Cloud to Edge, and Ampere, a leader in Cloud Computing solutions, announce the creation of the AI Platform Alliance, a new consortium aimed at making artificial intelligence ("AI") platforms more open, efficient, and sustainable.

The AI Platform Alliance has been specifically formed to promote better collaboration among the providers of hardware solutions for AI. The establishment of this new alliance comes at a crucial moment. The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence has generated an unprecedented demand for computing power, a demand that will continue to grow in the years to come, whether in the Cloud market with applications such as "Generative AI" or in the Edge computing market. 

Because artificial intelligence solutions can be complex to implement, the members of the AI Platform Alliance will work collaboratively to validate joint artificial intelligence solutions. The goal is to offer a better alternative to current traditional solutions. 

Éric Baissus, Chairman of the Board of Directors of KALRAY, states:

"We are delighted to be among the founding members of the AI Platform Alliance, alongside leading companies in the industry. This new alliance for artificial intelligence will enable us to collaborate with other industry players to deliver solutions that are increasingly efficient in terms of performance and low energy consumption."
