UAE continues to spearhead global collaborations with G42 selecting Qualcomm for AI Inference

UAE-based technology holding group G42 has teamed up with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. to integrate Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 solutions into Core42’s Condor AI platform. This collaboration aims to provide customers with energy-efficient and high-performance AI solutions. 

Condor AI, G42's cloud computing platform, offers optimised infrastructure with leading AI provider solutions. Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 Ultra AI accelerators, part of this integration, looks to deliver superior inference performance and cost efficiency. The Condor AI platform incorporates advanced AI technologies, resulting in up to a 10x increase in tokens per dollar.

Kiril Evtimov, Group CTO of G42 and CEO of Core42, said, “At G42, we collaborate with global technology leaders to explore new frontiers and redefine the potential of technology to create transformative opportunities for our partners, our customers, and society at large. With Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 Ultra, we will deliver unique access to unparalleled AI performance at a fraction of the current cost.”

Nakul Duggal, Group General Manager, Automotive, Industrial and Cloud, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc, said, “This solution enables global access to a platform tuned for efficient AI inference at cloud scale. This alliance delivers high-performance AI, easily deployed, at a cost that allows our customers to benefit from state-of-the-art model innovation. 

Supercomputing Competition

Recently, Cerebras Systems and G42, announced the development of Condor Galaxy 3 (CG-3), the latest addition to their AI supercomputing constellation. This is the third-generation of AI supercomputers released by Cerebras Systems in collaboration with G42. 

UAE has been on the forefront of spearheading AI innovations through strategic investments and partnerships with global players. Just last week, Microsoft revealed a strategic investment of $1.5 billion in G42, with a focus on expanding AI technologies and skilling initiatives not only in the UAE but also across the globe.

Last year, the company partnered with OpenAI to leverage OpenAI’s generative AI models for UAE’s financial services, energy, healthcare and many other sectors.
