Your Server, Your AI: Agentic Workloads on IBM Power With or Without Spyre
IBM Power can run agentic AI workloads without dedicated GPU infrastructure — and the Spyre Accelerator makes them faster when you need it. This session looks at both approaches: running AI agents directly on Power using CPU-based inference and then adding in Spyre acceleration.
Note: We have Spyre running in our dev environment on a beautiful Power 1122 server, ready for real-life test and dev of customer use-cases.
We'll touch on governance, data security and integrity; plus describe how to start small and build up your AI journey safely and efficiently with your IBM Power workload.
We'd LOVE THIS TO BE AN INTERACTIVE SESSION session so bring your thoughts and questions and we'll bring the answers and advice!!
