Businesses are making remarkable progress on their data and AI journeys. They’re advancing from a few pilot projects confined to use cases likely deemed “non-mission-critical,” to deploying applications in real-world operations across thousands of users that are enhancing employee productivity and improving efficiency.
However, building and scaling these next-generation systems is a complex, resource-intensive combination of engineering challenges up and down the stack. And as more users look to build their own GenAI applications, they’re encountering many of the same issues.
At Databricks, we have learned quite a bit about those challenges firsthand. We used our Data Intelligence Platform to train our own foundation model, DBRX. The lessons we learned in that process have been baked into our infrastructure, making it resilient and scalable, while delivering world-class performance.
So, while DBRX is a fantastic foundation model for building high-quality, efficient AI applications, that’s just one part of the story. The other critical part is in the infrastructure, and getting all the details right. When you use Databricks to train, fine-tune, and deploy AI models for your own needs, you use the same platform we do. In that way, the most important benefit of our experience is that our customers get the incredible resilience, scalability, and proven performance of the Data Intelligence Platform.
At the upcoming Data + AI Summit, attendees will have the opportunity to learn how to build AI-based applications with Databricks, including how they can take advantage of DBRX and other foundation models.
Below are a few of the sessions focused on building and using foundation models. And be sure to check out the keynote on Wednesday, June 12, to hear how Databricks is making GenAI a reality for enterprises.
Building a Production Scale, Totally Private, OSS Rag Pipeline with DBRX, Apache Spark, and LanceDB
Speakers: Chang She (Co-Founder, LanceDB), Jasmine Wang (LanceDB)
One of the biggest hurdles to enterprise AI adoption is data security. This session will walk through how combining Spark, DBRX, and LanceDB can help companies build Generative AI projects without putting sensitive information and IP at-risk.
