Advantech Introduces GenAI Studio to Edge AI SDK

Advantech Introduces GenAI Studio to Edge AI SDK Empowering On-premises LLM Development for Edge AI Innovations.

Advantech a leading provider of AIoT platforms and services, announces a new software offering – GenAI Studio for the Advantech Edge AI SDK, addressing the growing demand for cost-effective, on-premises large language model (LLM) solutions. This initiative aims to make LLM adoption more accessible for developers and small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) by significantly reducing the reliance on GPUs, thereby lowering costs and enabling broader utilization of generative AI technologies.


Accelerating AI Development to Address Industry Challenges

As one of the Advantech Edge AI SDK software offerings, GenAI Studio addresses industry pain points, such as reducing factory operator wait times for critical information and easing the documentation workload of healthcare professionals. Its no-code, cost-effective platform streamlines LLM adoption, enabling businesses to deploy AI solutions quickly and efficiently, improving productivity and operational efficiency. Built for the Advantech Edge AI SDK, GenAI Studio leverages a versatile LLM platform with exceptional integration capabilities for both local and cloud-based LLMs, including OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, and Ollama. It also introduces full-parameter fine-tuning functionality, optimized for environments with limited GPU resources, enabling broader accessibility and performance enhancements.

The GenAI Studio offers a comprehensive suite of tools for LLM development:

  • Integrated Fine-Tuning and Inference Services: GenAI Studio combines fine-tuning and inference capabilities to maximize hardware utilization, enabling more flexible and efficient allocation of resources.
  • Advanced GPU Resource Management and Task Scheduling: These features enable users to optimize AI hardware performance, improving the cost-effectiveness of high-value equipment.

The rapid rise of AI has underscored the need for accessible LLM solutions, but many companies are hindered by limited resources. The Advantech Edge AI SDK addresses this challenge by offering a toolset that enables efficient evaluation, development, and deployment of edge AI applications. For instance, fine-tuning a 70-billion-parameter LLM, which traditionally requires over 30 GPUs with 48GB memory each, can be achieved with just 4 GPUs using the Advantech Edge AI SDK. This represents an 87% reduction in resource requirements, dramatically lowering costs and making LLM solutions more attainable.


Empowering AI Innovation with Advantech’s GenAI Studio and Edge AI Server

To complement GenAI Studio, Advantech’s AIR-520 edge AI server provides a robust hardware platform equipped with NVIDIA RTX GPUs and Phison AI SSDs. This integration delivers reliable, high-efficiency computing capabilities designed to meet the demands of AI applications across industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and retail.


Advantech Edge AI SDK: Streamlining Workflows from Model Fine-Tuning to Deployment

The Advantech Edge AI SDK is a fully integrated platform designed for seamless edge AI development. With pre-configured hardware and optimally tuned software, it delivers a plug-and-play experience enables cost-effective LLM customization, seamless toolkit compatibility, and effortless management of large-scale edge deployments. Designed with reliability, scalability, and user-friendliness in mind, the Advantech Edge AI SDK simplifies the path to AI innovation. It now includes three core components:

  • GenAI Studio: Facilitates cost-effective creation, evaluation, and integration of custom LLMs on-premises.
  • Inference Kit: Enables rapid optimization and assessment of efficient AI runtimes compatible with embedded operating systems.
  • Orchestration Platform: Provides efficient management of AI model and application updates across large-scale edge deployments, integrating MLOps for streamlined operations.

Advantech is enhancing businesses’ ability to develop and deploy AI solutions more efficiently and cost-effectively through its Edge AI SDK and the newly added GenAI Studio software module.

Aicox expands EITB Media’s storage capacity with high-performance SSD technology

At Aicox we continue to consolidate our position as a key partner in the digital transformation of the media. We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded the contract for the expansion of the Mediagrid storage system at EITB Media’s Miramon headquarters, contributing to its migration plan to Ultra High Definition (UHD).

This project responds to the growing storage demand derived from the use of UHD content, which is four times larger than the HD format. The solution provided by Aicox will allow EITB to double its storage capacity by an additional 60 TB net with SSD technology, guaranteeing greater speed, reliability and lower latency in the management of audiovisual content.

What is Mediagrid and what advantages does it offer?

Harmonic’s Mediagrid is a scalable storage system designed specifically for video production and broadcast environments. Its distributed architecture enables the management of large volumes of data with high availability, optimized performance and low latency, making it ideal for real-time content editing and distribution.

Its main advantages include:

✅ High transfer speed thanks to its SSD-based technology, essential for UHD workflows.
✅ Modular scalability , allowing for capacity growth without interrupting operations.
✅ Seamless integration with existing production systems, minimizing adaptation times.
✅ Reduced file access time , improving efficiency in editing and post-production.

The expansion of the Mediagrid system will be carried out using technology from Harmonic, a manufacturer with which EITB already works, ensuring compatibility, optimal performance and maximum integration with current workflows.

In addition to supplying the equipment, Aicox will offer installation, commissioning and specialised technical support services over the coming years, ensuring the system’s operability and its evolution as EITB’s needs grow.

We are proud to continue providing innovative technological solutions to the Media & Broadcast sector and to accompany EITB on its path towards the future of UHD television.
