RHEL AI - Key Features and Components of RHEL AI

What does RHEL AI contain? (Top 3)

  • Operating System RHEL
  • IBM Granite Language Models
  • Additional Tools (e.g., InstructLab AI)

What did IBM release as part of RHEL AI? (2)

  • Granite Code Instruct Models
  • Datasets for model training

Why is RHEL AI available as a bootable image (ISO)?

To simplify the deployment of AI models in hybrid infrastructure


What is the purpose of RHEL AI?

  • Running AI models on various hardware and cloud platforms

What are the minimum hardware requirements for RHEL AI?

What is the purpose of the ilab command in RHEL AI? (4)

  • Project initialization
  • Model downloading
  • Model training
  • Model serving

How does ilab in RHEL AI differ from InstructLab on laptops?

  • In RHEL AI: Supports advanced training and full-precision models
  • In InstructLab: Designed for lightweight models on laptops

What are the main components of RHEL AI? (6)

  • RHEL Image Mode (bootc)
  • Granite Models
  • InstructLab Tool
  • vLLM Engine
  • deepspeed
  • PyTorch

In what mode is the operating system installed?

RHEL Image Mode, also known as bootc

What is the role of vLLM in RHEL AI?

High-performance and memory-efficient AI model serving


What is vLLM in RHEL AI?

An inference engine


What are the advantages of vLLM in RHEL AI?

  • Hhigh throughput (faster data processing)
  • Memory efficiency (lower memory consumption)

What is deepspeed in RHEL AI?

Software for optimizing deep learning (for both training and inference)


Example of an optimization technique in deepspeed?

Optimizing computation distribution across multiple GPUs


How does a bootc image differ from traditional containers?

It includes the entire operating system, including the Linux kernel


What is the role of Anaconda in RHEL AI?

Provisioning hosts for RHEL AI


How does Anaconda install RHEL AI on nodes?

Via Kickstart file that provide instructions to the installer about the bootc container location


What should be done with the .ks file by default?

It is best to include it in the ISO


What must be defined in a .ks file?

The path to the bootc image 


What is the key element to use models in RHEL AI?

InstructLab
