What to anticipate from Canonical at GTC

At GTC, discover how Canonical and NVIDIA are partnering to accelerate AI. Explore our new reference architectures for open-source LLM chatbots and edge AI, built on NVIDIA technology for scalability, security, and efficiency. Learn about our reference architecture for open-source machine learning infrastructure.

See Ubuntu and NVIDIA Jetson™ deliver powerful AI at the edge, managed seamlessly with Canonical Landscape. Join us to explore how Canonical simplifies AI development and deployment.

NVIDIA Jetson^™, Ubuntu and Landscape: streamlining Edge AI

NVIDIA Jetson^™ is a leading platform for AI at the edge. Canonical and NVIDIA have collaborated to bring optimized Ubuntu images to these powerful devices, enabling a wide range of applications.

At our booth, we’re showcasing the power of Ubuntu on NVIDIA Jetson^™, managed seamlessly with Canonical Landscape. See how you can easily deploy, monitor, and manage your entire Jetson fleet through Landscape’s centralized interface. This combination delivers a streamlined and secure edge AI solution, ready for everything from robotics to industrial automation.

Open Source LLM chatbots with NVIDIA

We’re launching a new reference architecture for building chatbot applications using open-source LLMs and NVIDIA technology. This solution streamlines LLM application development with a scalable and reliable platform.

Leveraging NVIDIA NIM technology, it supports models like LLaMA 3, utilizes OpenSearch for vector search, and features an optimized RAG pipeline. Integrated with Kubeflow and KServe, it offers a production-ready AI pipeline on Kubernetes.

The architecture is cloud-native, optimized for NVIDIA GPUs, and includes lifecycle management and security features. Kubeflow Pipelines, OpenSearch, KServe, and Canonical Observability Stack (COS) deliver a complete, powerful, and open-source chatbot platform.

Unleashing Edge AI

Edge AI is transforming industries, but building robust edge architectures remains challenging. We’re introducing a new reference architecture for AI inference at the edge, designed for scalability, maintainability, security, and efficiency.

This solution addresses the complexities of deploying AI to thousands of devices, ensuring autonomous operation and protection against threats. It includes a comprehensive approach for both model training and edge deployment. An MLOps platform and GPU scheduling optimize model development, while secure packaging ensures safe deployment to resource-constrained edge devices, bringing powerful AI capabilities closer to the source.

Open Source ML infrastructure with NVIDIA, MicroK8s, and Dell PowerEdge

Introducing a reference architecture for open-source machine learning infrastructure, combining NVIDIA NIM, MicroK8s, Charmed Kubeflow, and Dell PowerEdge R7525 servers. This solution accelerates AI development.

Leveraging Canonical’s MicroK8s and Charmed Kubeflow, validated with NVIDIA, this architecture delivers faster iteration, improved scalability, and enhanced security through Ubuntu. It meets the demanding requirements of AI workloads.

This end-to-end stack empowers data scientists to run ML on powerful hardware. The guide provides a clear blueprint for setup, offering a valuable resource for those looking to advance their AI strategies.
