IBM open sources PowerAI as Open Cognitive Environment!
summary
Open-CE is the open source successor to PowerAI / WMLCE that provides pre-integrated conda packages, Dockerfiles and build scripts for TensorFlow, PyTorch, XGBoost, spaCy and Hugging Face transformers across x86 and ppc64le/OpenPOWER with GPU acceleration. It outputs reproducible conda hermetic builds, a dependency graph (TensorFlow alone pulls ~87 repos), and CI recipes with an planned Argo CI pipeline. First community binaries target CUDA 10.2 with CUDA 11 support planned by year end, and local + Kubernetes parallel builds are already runnable from the GitHub repo.
