Articul8 was developed at Intel and integrated into hardware architectures, including Intel Xeon Scalable processors and Intel Gaudi accelerators.
It was initially deployed at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), where it processed text and images through open-source and internally built technology. Intel customized the platform to integrate it within BCG’s data centers.
Articul8 eventually scaled its platform to expand its offerings to financial services, aerospace, semiconductors, and telecommunications industries.
“Every global enterprise today is challenged to integrate GenAI capabilities into their workflows. Articul8 has built a scalable and easy-to-deploy GenAI software platform that is already enabling enterprises to unlock value from their proprietary data,” said Marc Ganzi, DigitalBridge Chief Executive Officer.
DigitalBridge Ventures, the venture capital arm of DigitalBridge, led the investments at Articul8. Other stakeholders included Fin Capital, Mindset Ventures, Communitas Capital, GiantLeap Capital, GS Futures and Zain Group.
