What if Generative AI didn’t require expensive GPUs?
That’s the question Bud Ecosystem set out to answer—and they just did.
Bud Ecosystem has launched Bud Runtime, a breakthrough platform that allows organisations to deploy GenAI models on CPU-based systems, significantly reducing costs and carbon footprint. With GPU scarcity and high operational costs becoming roadblocks, Bud Runtime enables teams to use existing infrastructure—whether CPUs, HPUs, TPUs, or NPUs from vendors like Nvidia, Intel, AMD, or Huawei.
Designed for flexibility, its heterogeneous cluster parallelism supports deployment across mixed hardware environments, allowing seamless scalability for startups, researchers, and enterprises.
“We wanted to make GenAI accessible for everyone. Bud Runtime brings that vision closer by making GenAI run efficiently—even on commodity hardware,” shares Jithin VG, CEO of Bud Ecosystem.
Priced at just $200 per month, it opens new doors for organisations previously priced out of AI adoption. The company is also collaborating with Intel, Microsoft, Infosys, and LTIM to enhance generative AI accessibility.
Bud Ecosystem’s commitment to open-source, cutting-edge research, and responsible AI has earned them global recognition—including topping the Hugging Face LLM leaderboard.
