rapt AI: The Next Leap in AI Infrastructure Optimization

Anil Ravindranath, Founder and CTO

The rapid ascent of artificial intelligence isn’t just fueled by big data—it’s propelled by an unprecedented demand for computing power. While data remains essential, the true driving force behind sophisticated AI models is the infrastructure that supports them. Yet, as these systems grow in complexity and scale, traditional static, one-size-fits-all infrastructures are increasingly failing to meet the dynamic needs of modern AI workloads.

This is where rapt AI steps in with its Intelligent Computing Platform.

Designed to offer flexibility and automation, rapt AI transforms how AI compute resources are optimized and orchestrated. Moving beyond the limitations of one-sizefits- all setups, the platform provides a dynamic, adaptive framework that allocates GPU and AI accelerator resources on demand, boosting operational efficiency. This approach accelerates the execution of AI models, allowing businesses to operate faster and more cost-effectively, free from the constraints of traditional static infrastructure.

One of the most compelling advantages of rapt AI’s platform is the time it saves. Traditionally, data scientists might spend nearly 100 minutes configuring infrastructure—adjusting GPU settings and fine-tuning performance for each AI model. With rapt AI, this process is streamlined to just minutes through real-time, machine learning-based resource optimization. This efficiency allows organizations to focus on advancing their AI initiatives rather than getting bogged down by infrastructure management.

Anil Ravindranath, founder and CTO of rapt AI, explains, “Unlike conventional setups that are rigid and one-size-fits-all, our platform equips users with a dynamic flexibility that ensures they are never-constrained by outdated infrastructure and can stay ahead in the fast-paced world of AI.”
At the core of this platform is an AI-driven compute prediction engine that analyzes workloads in real-time and provides precise recommendations on the resources required for optimal performance. This speeds up deployment and eliminates the need for manual intervention in resource management, allowing data scientists to focus on what they do best—developing and refining AI models.

Beyond the time savings, rapt AI also addresses the common problem of over-provisioning in AI infrastructure, where more resources are allocated than necessary, leading to wasted computing power and increased costs. By dynamically optimizing the number of GPU cores, memory, and active blocks to match the specific needs of each AI model, rapt AI ensures that resources are used efficiently. This enables users to run more AI models concurrently on the same infrastructure, maximizing the value of their investments.

rapt AI’s platform also includes a multi-layer orchestrator that automates resource allocation based on user-defined Service Level Agreements (SLAs) such as cost, latency, or business flow. This ensures that resources are distributed efficiently to meet specific business needs.

“Whether the job is high-priority and latency-sensitive or cost-conscious, our platform can adjust resources dynamically to meet the desired outcomes,” says Ravindranath.

A recent success story highlights the platform’s versatility. In a partnership with a Fortune 50 pharmaceutical company specializing in drug discovery, rapt AI helped solve challenges like lengthy setup times, limited parallel job capacity, and difficulties managing separate on-premises and cloud resources. After implementing rapt AI’s platform, the company reduced setup and tuning times to just a few minutes and increased parallel job capacity by four times. Moreover, rapt AI unified its on-prem and cloud resources into a-single, efficient hybrid cloud pool, drastically improving productivity and efficiency.

Whether reducing latency, minimizing costs, or streamlining business operations, rapt AI’s Intelligent Computing Platform excels at delivering tailored solutions that enhance performance while reducing user effort.
Its complete automation allows the platform to adapt to the most granular needs of the business without constant user input.

What sets rapt AI apart from other AI infrastructure solutions is its dual perspective—understanding both AI workloads and the underlying infrastructure. Many platforms focus solely on one aspect, either optimizing the AI model or the infrastructure it runs on. Rapt AI bridges this gap by ensuring resources are precisely allocated to meet the real-time demands of AI models while considering the infrastructure’s capacity. This integrated approach enables a higher degree of optimization, making rapt AI an invaluable tool for organizations looking to scale their AI operations.

Apart from that, rapt AI’s compute abstraction technology supports various compute resources beyond just NVIDIA GPUs. The platform is designed to integrate seamlessly with emerging technologies such as AMD GPUs, Intel chips, and AWS’s Trainium, allowing customers to choose the most cost-effective resources for their specific AI workloads. This flexibility allows users to move beyond reliance on a single vendor or technology stack.

Rapt AI’s Intelligent Computing Platform isn’t just a step forward in AI infrastructure—it’s a transformative leap. By addressing the persistent issues of static setups and manual processes, rapt AI turns infrastructure challenges into opportunities for dynamic, cost-effective, and scalable solutions. Its innovative approach to resource optimization, automation, and compute abstraction positions rapt AI at the forefront of AI infrastructure development. For organizations aiming to enhance productivity and performance in their AI operations, rapt AI offers a future where infrastructure becomes an enabler of innovation, not a bottleneck.
