# Sterling Partners to Offer LT3 for Public-Sector AI

Sterling Computers and BitRipple announced plans to package BitRipple’s LT3 GPU-communication software for NVIDIA and AMD platforms and offer the solutions through Sterling’s public-sector contract vehicles and Sterling AI Factory. The companies report that LT3 reduced collective completion time by 30–40% versus RoCEv2 with ECMP routing in published results; the software is designed to run on existing network fabrics without new NIC hardware or fabric changes. No government agency, solicitation, award, or contract value was identified, so this is a potential evaluation and purchasing route rather than a confirmed procurement opportunity.

- Agencies and contractors evaluating AI infrastructure can contact Sterling or BitRipple to discuss solution availability through applicable contract vehicles and arrange an evaluation on their infrastructure.
- The reported performance improvement and lack of required network-fabric changes may be relevant to organizations seeking to increase utilization of existing GPU capacity without replacing networking hardware; results should be validated in the organization’s own environment.
- Sterling’s public-sector vehicles and AI Factory may provide a route to access the integrated offering, but the announcement does not identify specific vehicles, pricing, or agency requirements.
