Chapter 1. Red Hat AI validated models

The Red Hat AI models are validated using open source tools. The model type you use depends on how you want to deploy the model.

Note

If you are using AI Inference Server as part of a RHEL AI deployment, use OCI artifact images.

If you are using AI Inference Server as part of a OpenShift AI deployment, use ModelCar images.

Red Hat uses GuideLLM for performance benchmarking and Language Model Evaluation Harness for accuracy evaluations.

Explore the Red Hat AI validated models collections on Hugging Face.

Important

AMD GPUs support FP8 (W8A8) and GGUF quantization variant models only. For more information, see Supported hardware.

The following models, available from RedHat AI on Hugging Face, are validated for use with Red Hat AI Inference Server.
