IBM watsonx.ai on a Mac

IBM's enterprise AI platform; Granite + third-party models (cloud/on-prem) · AI / LLMs

IBM watsonx.ai is the model/studio half of the watsonx family (alongside watsonx.data for the lakehouse and watsonx.governance for model risk). It serves IBM's open Granite models plus curated third-party and Hugging Face models, with prompt-tuning, an agent framework and a REST inference API (/ml/v1/text/generation and chat/embeddings variants under https://{region}.ml.cloud.ibm.com, authenticated with an IAM bearer token minted from an API key, plus a project_id or space_id). Available as IBM Cloud SaaS, on AWS, or self-managed on-prem via watsonx.ai Software on Red Hat OpenShift/Cloud Pak for Data; the usual pick for regulated shops that need models running inside their own estate. Store the API key in Keychain; it's a standard OpenAI-alternative endpoint for the harness once configured.
