Arthur Fuentes, ABS-CBN News</div>MANILA — Acer’s enterprise unit Altos unveiled several new AI workstations and servers on Tuesday saying these “on-premise” IT systems were much cheaper in the long run than renting AI cloud services. The company said its new line of BrainSphere Mini AI workstations and servers, as well as its aiGeni and aiWorks platforms can deliver the same kind of performance offered by cloud AI service providers at a fraction of the cost.Paul Chen, Altos Senior Business Development Manager, across a three-year timeline, an on-premises AI development system could pay for itself in the first year, and may end up being as little as a third of the total cost of ownership of subscribing to cloud-based AI services.For enterprises, government agencies and educational institutions, this represents substantial savings, Chen said during a briefing on Tuesday. Chen gave tech journalists a glimpse into its workstation and server offerings, bannered by the BrainSphere GB10 F1 mini AI workstation powered by the NVIDIA G810 Grace Blackwell Superchip. According to Altos, the mini desktop delivers up to 1 PetaFLOP of Al computing power, and can handle even the most demanding Al workloads with ease. The system already includes a 10 Cortex X-925 and 10 Cortex A725 CPU, paired with 128GB of LPDDR5X unified memory and up to 4TB of NVMe storage. <div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1779889660844IMG_0897.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Paul Chen, Altos Senior Business Development Manager, talks about the company&#x27;s AI offerings. Arthur Fuentes, ABS-CBN News</div>Altos said the mini AI workstation can handle model development and prototyping to fine-tuning and real-time inference, and is ideal for Al developers, startups, researchers, and educational institutions. It also comes with the Altos aiGeni. Two mini workstations can also be interconnected for more demanding workloads, Altos said.Large enterprises and institutions that need to train and run complex AI models meanwhile can tap Altos’ line of BrainSphere R680 F7 servers that can use eight Nvidia H200, RTX PrO 6000 Blackwell or L40S GPUs paired with Intel Xeon 6 series CPUs. The servers run Altos’ aiWorks platform. Altos said their systems can be used in healthcare, with medical imaging and voice-to-text clinical documentation as two of several applications.They can also be used in education and research, with centralized GPU management for classrooms and labs, one-click JupyterLab and Al course environments, and role-based access for professors, TAs, and students, as well as support Bring-Your-Own-Model (BYDM) for collaborations.For the enterprise and the public sector, the systems can be deployed to develop private LLM assistants for internal knowledge search, intelligent contact centers with voice transcription and emotion analysis, and automated document summarization and translation for digital governance.

Altos said on-premise AI development system could pay for itself in the first year, and may end up a total cost of ownership that is just a fraction of subscribing to cloud-based AI services.
