Think about some of the past trends in technology, and you’ll start to see some patterns emerge. For example, with cloud computing there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Combinations of different approaches, such as on premise and different cloud providers, have led to organizations taking advantage of hybrid infrastructure benefits in deploying their enterprise applications. When we think about the future, a similar structure will be essential for the consumption of artificial intelligence (AI) across diverse applications and business environments. Flexibility will be crucial as no single

Picture this: you have a powerful language model in production, but it struggles to provide satisfying answers for specific, niche questions. You try retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and carefully crafted prompt engineering, but the responses still need to be revised. The next step might seem to be full model fine tuning—updating every layer of the model to handle your specialized cases—but that demands significant time and compute resources.What is LoRA?Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) is a faster and less resource-intensive fine tuning technique that can shape how a large language model re
