How Equitus PowerGraph (KGNN) Optimizes AI on IBM Power 11: Webinar link
Equitus's PowerGraph (KGNN) can significantly assist IBM Power 10/11 users with Granite 4.0 models by acting as a specialized, highly-efficient data preparation and knowledge retrieval engine specifically optimized for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) on the Power platform.
PowerGraph (Equitus's Knowledge Graph Neural Network - KGNN) elevates the capabilities of Granite 4.0 in three key areas:
1. Enhanced RAG for Accuracy and Context
Granite 4.0 models are highly efficient and designed for RAG and agentic workflows. PowerGraph enhances this by transforming unstructured enterprise data into a rich knowledge structure, which is critical for superior RAG performance.
- GraphRAG Mechanism: PowerGraph's core function is to unify disparate, siloed data into a Knowledge Graph. This structure maps entities, relationships, and context, moving beyond simple keyword or vector similarity (traditional RAG). 
- Deeper Contextualization: When a user queries a Granite 4.0 model, PowerGraph retrieves contextually relevant subgraphs (connected facts) instead of just document chunks. This allows the LLM to understand and use the relationships between data points, leading to more accurate, insightful, and verifiable answers. 
- Reduced Hallucination: By grounding the Granite model's response in the structured, verifiable, and traceable data of the Knowledge Graph, PowerGraph helps mitigate hallucinations, a key enterprise concern. 
2. Power-Native Performance and Efficiency
The integration is optimized to leverage the strengths of the IBM Power platform, ensuring the data and the model work together efficiently.
- MMA Acceleration: PowerGraph is built to run natively on IBM Power 10/11. It utilizes the Matrix Math Accelerator (MMA) on the Power chips to accelerate graph traversal, inference, and vectorization workloads. 
- Efficient LLM Data Prep: Granite 4.0 models are themselves designed for hyper-efficiency, using a hybrid Mamba/Transformer architecture to significantly reduce memory and compute requirements. - 6 By providing highly-optimized, pre-structured, and vectorized data directly from PowerGraph, the Granite model spends less time processing raw data and more time on high-quality inference. This synergy maximizes the performance-per-watt of the Power 10/11 system.
- On-Prem/Edge AI: PowerGraph's design, combined with the efficient Granite 4.0 models, facilitates secure, on-premises, and edge deployments. This is crucial for enterprises in regulated industries that need to keep sensitive data local while still benefiting from advanced Generative AI capabilities. 
3. Trust and Traceability
For enterprise adoption, trust and governance are paramount, especially when working with open-source models like Granite 4.0.
- Explainability: The Knowledge Graph provides a visual and traceable path for every piece of information used to generate a Granite 4.0 response. Users can easily trace the LLM's output back to the original source data, a critical feature for regulated workflows. 
- Data Provenance: PowerGraph ensures end-to-end data provenance, showing how raw data was ingested, cleaned, and connected, giving users confidence in the factual basis of the AI's output. 
In summary, Equitus PowerGraph acts as the intelligent data brain for Granite 4.0 on Power 10/11, converting fragmented enterprise data into AI-ready, contextual knowledge that enables the LLM to deliver complex, accurate, and explainable insights at high speed and efficiency.
