IBM's Latest AI Offerings: Watsonx, Generative Models, and More

IBM has launched Watsonx, a platform that provides tools to build AI models and access to pretrained models for generating computer code, text and more. The platform aims to help businesses overcome barriers to adopting AI, such as trust and transparency issues and privacy concerns. IBM is offering seven pretrained models to businesses using Watsonx.ai, including fm.model.code, which generates code, fm.model.NLP, a collection of large language models, and fm.model.geospatial, a model built on climate and remote sensing data from NASA. IBM is also offering Watsonx.data, a data store designed for both governed data and AI workloads, and Watsonx.governance, a toolkit that provides mechanisms to protect customer privacy, detect model bias and drift, and help organizations meet ethics standards.
