What is AlifZetta?

AlifZetta is an AI operating system designed to run large language models on standard CPU clusters instead of requiring expensive GPU hardware. It packages multiple AI models, agents, and a knowledge base into a single platform that operates without graphics processors. The system is aimed at organisations wanting to deploy AI capabilities without the infrastructure costs and energy consumption associated with GPU-based solutions. With a focus on cost efficiency and environmental impact, AlifZetta claims to deliver AI functionality at roughly one-tenth the cost and with significantly lower power consumption than traditional GPU setups.
