Helping design and engineering professionals discover, evaluate and specify technologies and processes that shorten the design cycle and enable success.
Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%
Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.
What Is Intelligent BOM Management? A Guide to Smarter Product Development

Altair reports significant upgrades to the Altair HPCWorks high-performance computing (HPC) and cloud platform. The Altair HPCWorks 2026 release enables faster discovery with new features and improvements including enhanced GPU integration and use, expanded AI and machine learning tools and support, and extended reporting, the company reports.
“The technology landscape is rapidly evolving, and we’re tailoring Altair solutions to support the latest AI, machine learning, data analytics, EDA, and even quantum workloads,” says Sam Mahalingam, chief technology officer, Altair. “Now as part of Siemens, we can push the technology even further, with the industry-leading Altair HPCWorks platform as the foundation of intelligent, data-driven computing.”
Altair HPCWorks 2026 includes new features such as Jupyter Notebook integration for AI and machine learning model training. Altair tools are tailored to support GPU discovery and optimization. Altair HPCWorks supports NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel accelerators.
Altair HPCWorks uses AI-assisted functionality, including new AI-powered memory resource prediction to streamline job submission and optimize resource use. Integration with platforms like Altair RapidMiner allows users to create custom AI models trained for individual workloads.
Although quantum computing still faces hurdles, it’s already being used alongside classical HPC; and hybrid classical-quantum workflows show promise for science, engineering, and financial applications. The 2026 Altair HPCWorks release makes it possible to run novel hybrid quantum-classical workflows that can detect complex, changing patterns.
New features and upgrades to the Altair HPCWorks product suite include expanded reports, cluster dashboard enhancements, and tighter integration within Altair HPCWorks and with additional Altair solver and data analytics solutions. Windows users get a new desktop client for access to HPC tools, and IT administrators can use a streaming API to compose automations that respond to cloud changes in real time. Altair HPCWorks 2026 also includes security, performance, and functionality improvements.
