Intel acquires data science startup Cnvrg.io

BY DUNCAN RILEY

Intel Corp. reportedly has acquired Cnvrg.io, an Israeli data science startup
that helps teams create and run machine learning models.

TechCrunch made the claim, though neither Intel nor Cnvrg.io has publicly
confirmed the news as of the time of writing. TechCrunch did say Intel
confirmed the deal. “Cnvrg will be an independent Intel company and will
continue to serve its existing and future customers,” an Intel spokesperson
told the news site.

Founded in 2016, Cnvrg.io offers a data science platform designed to assist
enterprises to manage and scale up artificial intelligence. Its collaborative
solution allows companies to accelerate innovation and build high-impact
machine learning models, the company says.

Scaling machine learning development from research to production with an
end-to-end solution is key to the company’s pitch that is designed to give
data science teams all the tools they need in one place. In offering a data
science platform for machine learning operations and model management,
Cnvrg.io claims to be a pioneer in building cutting-edge machine learning
development solutions that allows users to build high-impact machine learning
models in half the time.

In a recent blog post, Cnvrg.io claimed to improve visibility and increase
machine learning server utilization by up to 80%. The company’s dashboard is
said to deliver a snapshot of everything executed across compute clusters in
terms of usage and user activity. Cnvrg.io allows administrators to monitor
and compare overall capacity against both allocation and utilization, with
graphs to identify gaps in efficiency.

Cnvrg.io customers include Fortune 500 companies to startups. Partners
include Red Hat Inc., Nvidia Corp. and NetApp Inc.

The acquisition comes after Intel acquired artificial intelligence startup
SigOpt for an undisclosed sum Oct. 29. SigOpt offers a software platform that
is used by private firms and research groups such as OpenAI to boost the
performance of their AI models. Its platform improves model performance
through a method known as hyperparameter optimization.

Coming into its acquisition, Cnvrg.io had raised $8 million in venture
capital funding, according to Pitchbook. Investors included Hanaco Venture
Capital, Jerusalem Venture Partners, Kevin Bermeister and Prashant Malik.
