HP is making two announcements today: a pair of AI PCs and a trust framework to manage AI outputs. The new hardware uses AMD, Intel and Nvidia chips.
Two new AI PCs from HP will appear, one a laptop and one a desktop. The HP OmniBook Ultra 14-inch Next Gen AI PC comes with an AMD Ryzen AI 300-series chip, with the GPU being the Radeon 800M. With up to 55 TOPS of NPU power, it pretty much meets the requirements of a Windows Copilot+ PC. A free update for Copilot+ functionality will follow. The OmniBook Ultra is available from $1,449.99; European prices have not yet been announced.
AI All-in-One PC
In addition to the new OmniBook Ultra, HP is unveiling a line of OmniStudio X All-In-One PCs, in both 27-inch and 31.5-inch sizes. One here uses Intel Core Ultra 7 processors with the now six-month-old Meteor Lake architecture. The AI performance of these chips greatly underperforms that of the approaching Lunar Lake and Ryzen AI chips with 11.5 NPU TOPS. An update to include Lunar Lake would make a lot of sense down the line. One can already opt for an optional Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU with 6GB of VRAM. The price for this All-in-One line starts at $1,149.99.
AI platform
In addition to hardware, HP highlights its own Z by HP AI Studio. Announced earlier this year, this platform is getting new features. The company charts that one-third of data scientists are dissatisfied with their current AI tools. 81 percent doubt the rapid deployment of such solutions within their organizations. Z by HP AI Studio enables safer model building. Users are able to detect hallucinations and bias. HP reports that it is the only one to have built a workstation AI platform that includes built-in GenAI reliability for LLM development.
HP is realizing these capabilities in conjunction with Galileo, which has constructed proprietary foundation models to validate other models. “Enabling enterprises to leverage their own data without compromising security is critical to AI development, and Galileo is proud to partner with HP to deliver solutions that add visibility, control and trust to generative AI projects for enterprises,” said Yash Sheth, co-founder and COO of Galileo. “By integrating our software and Luna Evaluation Foundation Models with HP’s AI Studio, we are delivering unparalleled value for organizations looking to responsibly harness the transformative power of AI.”
