WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Cloud company Akamai Technologies Inc. (AKAM)
announced Tuesday a strategic partnership with Neural Magic, a developer of
software that accelerates artificial intelligence workloads.

The partnership is intended to supercharge deep learning capabilities on
Akamai's distributed computing infrastructure. The combined solution gives
enterprises a high-performing platform to run deep learning AI software
efficiently on CPU-based servers.

Under the deal, Neural Magic will be an Akamai Qualified Computing Partner, and
its software will be made available alongside Akamai's products and services.

John O'Hara, SVP of Engineering and COO at Neural Magic, said, 'Delivering AI
models efficiently at the edge is a bigger challenge than most people realize.
Specialized or expensive hardware and associated power and delivery requirements
are not always available or feasible, leaving organizations to effectively miss
out on leveraging the benefits of running AI inference at the edge.'

Akamai and Neural Magic were both born out of Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, and they continue to maintain their respective corporate
headquarters nearby.
