AI and data have become crucial components for companies to gain a competitive advantage. The emergence of generative AI marks the start of a new era where businesses can reimagine their operations by utilizing advanced language models capable of performing complex tasks. As enterprises increasingly implement generative AI solutions to transform their businesses, products and services, the need for accuracy and performance has never been greater. Despite the impressive general capabilities of foundation models, enterprises face unique challenges in adapting AI to their specific use cases. Therefore, companies are training models on their own data and workloads to develop customized AI solutions that meet their needs and end customers.
