HelixML announced the release of Helix 1.0, marking a
significant milestone in the company's mission to bring secure, compliant AI
capabilities to regulated enterprises worldwide.
The Open Source AI Revolution: Reshaping
Enterprise GenAI
As businesses globally grapple with the
dual pressures of regulatory compliance and the competitive necessity of AI
adoption, Helix emerges as a crucial bridge. "For many European companies,
OpenAI, Microsoft...it's not compliant," said Martin Schönherr, CEO of AWA
Network, highlighting the regulatory challenges faced by businesses that
operate globally.
Helix's innovative approach leverages
open-source models, allowing enterprises to harness the power of AI while
maintaining full control over their data and infrastructure. Combining open
source models with a novel GPU scheduler, and a paradigm shift in how LLM apps
are versioned and managed, enables businesses to take full advantage of open
source LLMs, like Llama3.1 from Meta, for the first time. This breakthrough
comes at a critical time when, as Helix founder Luke Marsden notes, "every
major company on the planet is looking at GenAI and the promised efficiency
gains, and saying at the CEO level that if they don't adopt this technology
they will have their lunch eaten by the competition."
Announcing Helix 1.0: Secure Local GenAI
for Serious Enterprises
Helix 1.0 represents the culmination of
nine months of intensive development by a small, dedicated team. Key features
include:
- High-performance GPU scheduler for mixing and matching the
latest LLMs
- OpenAI-compatible API for seamless integration
- RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) capabilities for enhanced
knowledge integration
- Fine-tuning options for customized model development
- Robust security features ensuring data privacy and compliance
"I've been thoroughly impressed by
Helix. At Screenly, privacy and security are non-negotiable, and Helix allows
us to seamlessly integrate cutting-edge LLMs into our product with the same
ease as using OpenAI and similar services, all while ensuring that no data ever
leaves our network," said Viktor Petersson, CEO/CTO of Screenly Inc, one
of Helix's early adopters.
