SUSE Wants a Piece of the AI Cake, Too

SUSE, a Luxembourg-based open-source company, is launching a new vendor- and LLM-agnostic generative AI platform called SUSE AI solutions. The company aims to leverage the potential of AI to gain a stronger foothold in the U.S. market, where it has struggled to establish brand recognition compared to competitors like Red Hat and Canonical. SUSE CEO Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen believes that the open-source model provides infinite potential for enterprise customers, offering support, security, and long-term stability. The company's recent fork of CentOS has attracted a significant number of users, and its portfolio, including Kubernetes service Rancher and security service Neuvector, positions SUSE well in a market where enterprises are looking to consolidate platforms. Despite ownership changes over the years, SUSE remains committed to expanding its presence in the U.S. market.

It's called Microsoft SuSE /s

From openSUSE Leap to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server PAYG on Azure [archive.is]

“SUSE and Microsoft have been working together for over 10 years to provide unique solutions for SUSE Linux Enterprise products that are Azure-optimized.”

SUSE forked centos?

I've never heard of this. The closest to anything relevant is their participation in OpenELA, which so far seems to have done nothing.

RHEL, not CentOS, for whatever that difference is worth. (link [suse.com])
