RTLZWEI Hones Competitive Edge with Red Hat OpenShift AI

RTLZWEI

RTLZWEI, a German broadcaster and digital media company, modernized its on-premise core system BOBY by deploying Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus and Red Hat OpenShift AI, with guidance from Red Hat Consulting and Red Hat Training. A proof of concept integrated NVIDIA H100 GPUs with Red Hat OpenShift AI, using Whisper on vLLM to speed up video transcription for subtitles, dubbing and accessibility. By fine-tuning the transcription model with its own data, RTLZWEI reduced the word error rate by 33%. The platform also hosts LLMs for data science experiments, forecasting and fine-tuning, running on-premise to meet data sovereignty and cybersecurity requirements.
