LUMI AI Factory introduces new services to support AI development

The LUMI AI Factory is the biggest AI Factory in the European Union. It will integrate seamlessly world-class computing power, high-value data, and top-tier AI talent under the same roof.

The new services provide practical guidance on regulatory compliance, opportunities to explore LUMI supercomputer through low-risk trials, and accessible tools for experimenting with machine learning models.

Four new services

The LUMI AI Factory introduces four new services to support customers’ AI development:

Expert consultation on Trustworthy AI development

This service helps customers assess AI systems against EU AI Act requirements, offering early risk analysis, expert guidance, and practical recommendations to support compliant and trustworthy development.

Initial risk analysis consultation – EU AI Act Compliance Checker

Initial risk analysis consultation supports early-stage AI development by clarifying customer’s system’s regulatory and ethical context under the EU AI Act .

Through a guided session using the AI Act Compliance Checker, the customer receives an initial risk analysis, helping to reduce uncertainty and support a smoother path to trustworthy AI.

Try & Buy – easy way to try AI computing resources

This service allows companies to trial the LUMI supercomputer through a Try & Buy project, enabling evaluation of its suitability before committing to a full investment.

Try & Buy project includes limited-time access to compute and storage resources, user credentials, documentation, and expert support. After the trial, companies can continue with a paid contract or discontinue use without obligation.

Aitta ML Inference Service – run machine learning model inference on a powerful computing system

Inference Service Aitta enables low-threshold access to machine learning model inference on the LUMI supercomputer for research and development. It offers a range of models for tasks such as image recognition, natural language processing, and data analysis, accessible via user-friendly interfaces and APIs.

Aitta supports experimentation and application development but is not intended for production use or processing sensitive data.

In addition to the new services, the LUMI AI Factory services have been made more accessible by grouping them into new service categories.

Data catalogue makes LUMI AIF DaaS datasets reliably accessible

The LUMI AI Factory Dataset-as-a-Service (LUMI AIF DaaS) data catalogue has now been published using the Fairdata services. Fairdata services are national open science services that provide storage, description, and discovery services for research data in accordance with the FAIR principles.

The new catalogue makes LUMI AIF DaaS datasets reliably accessible. The user interface is available in both Finnish and English.
