Doubt many are excited about an AI feature from IBM.

Why not?

Seems to me that IBM is trying to differentiate their AI from others by offering a complete solution that can be self-hosted.

The part that cannot be produced locally, the core model, IBM publishes the inputs and indemnifies. From there, IBM and RedHat provide a holistic solution for fine-tuning, pipelines, and a platform to run on (RHEL AI and OpenShift) that endeavors to "just work."

The fine-tunning tool can be used on any model from Huggingface. So could the pipeline tooling. IBM is saying that they are trying to build core models that are more friendly to fine-tuning. Smaller, faster, and more focused.

They are not trying to be OpenAI or Anthropic, but the IBM models could be a really nice fit for many applications.

I believe the parent comment was in reference to IBM Watson.

yeah, could be. IBM has been working on AI for ages. They have been able to make a splash with events in chess and Jeopardy, but can't seem to keep up the interest. Of only IBM had the marketing skills as good as some of their research.
