What is Red Hat AI InstructLab on IBM Cloud?

Red Hat AI InstructLab on IBM Cloud lets domain experts contribute knowledge and skills into a large language model (LLM).

InstructLab is an open source project that simplifies LLM development, enabling a community-driven, cost-effective approach to align models with less data and fewer resources.

IBM Cloud is an enterprise cloud platform designed for even the most regulated industries, delivering a highly resilient, performant, secure, and compliant cloud.

Together, Red Hat AI InstructLab on IBM Cloud offers a scalable, cost-effective solution to simplify, scale, and secure the alignment of your LLMs to your organization’s unique use-cases.

Customize an LLM in 3 steps

For an LLM to suit your generative AI use case needs, you need to instruct it with company-specific information. With Red Hat AI InstructLab on IBM Cloud, this can be done in 3 steps:

1. Upload taxonomy

Start with Granite models, which have been trained with general knowledge and skills. Then, with InstructLab tools, add your own specialized knowledge and skills. 

2. Generate synthetic data

Next, InstructLab will generate synthetic data to augment the human-generated information. Generating synthetic data significantly reduces reliance on human annotations and requires fewer computing resources than traditional training methods.

3. Train custom model

Finally, the new knowledge will be merged into the model.

Spend less

Refining a language model typically requires large amounts of human-generated data. However, InstructLab can achieve competitive performance using a fraction of the resources.

Retain ownership

Control and retain ownership of both your data and your model, with the choice to use them in the cloud, on-premises, or anywhere else your business requires.

Train your AI in the cloud

You don’t need to own and operate the hardware infrastructure that’s typically necessary to test and train AI models. Instead, fine-tune and scale your compute needs with IBM Cloud.

Avoid catastrophic forgetting

With InstructLab on IBM Cloud, you don’t need to retrain the whole model every time you give it new information. This minimizes the possibility of catastrophic forgetting.
