A Practical Overview of Enterprise GEN AI Deployments: LLMs and Vision-Language Models
Enterprise GEN AI Deployments can deliver tremendous business impact but can also be complex and costly. Having an executive understanding of these workloads will help you to deploy these projects more effectively. In this session, we give an executive overview of Large Language Model (LLM) inference, detailing technical workings and cost optimization strategies to manage deployment expenses effectively. Subsequently, we will illustrate how this framework can be applied to a specific domain using video analytics for logistics, manufacturing and retail operations as an example. We will demonstrate how one can utilize Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to build a pipeline that addresses safety and compliance monitoring, layout optimization for stores and warehouses, and assembly process enhancement with minimal data collection and engineering effort. This practical overview equips you to leverage these advanced technologies for significant business impact while managing costs efficiently.
