The explosion of large language models (LLMs) has increased demand for high-performance accelerators like GPUs and TPUs. As organizations scale their AI capabilities, the scarcity of compute resources is sometimes the primary bottleneck. Efficiently managing every GPU and TPU cycle is no longer just a recommendation — it’s an operational necessity. Kubernetes is becoming the …

Industrial and defense environments generate massive amounts of data that can’t wait for the cloud. Latency is often measured in milliseconds, and resiliency is paramount. A manufacturing plant can’t go down due to flaky Wi-Fi or a public cloud outage. “Traditional” approaches — shipping servers, hiring local IT, bespoke development, managing one-off deployments — simply don’t scale. Critical operations …

Deploying large language models (LLMs) for inference requires reliable GPU capacity, especially during critical evaluation periods, limited-duration production testing, or burst workloads. Capacity constraints can delay deployments and impact application performance. Customers can use Amazon SageMaker AI training plans to reserve compute capacity for specified time periods. Originally designed for training workloads, training plans now …

By Harshad Sane Ranker is one of the largest and most complex services at Netflix. Among many things, it powers the personalized rows you see on the Netflix homepage, and runs at an enormous scale. When we looked at CPU profiles for this service, one feature kept standing out: video serendipity scoring — the logic that answers a …

Large language models (LLMs) perform well on general tasks but struggle with specialized work that requires understanding proprietary data, internal processes, and industry-specific terminology. Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) adapts LLMs to these organizational contexts. SFT can be implemented through two distinct methodologies: Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT), which updates only a subset of model parameters, offering faster training …

The flexibility of Google Cloud allows enterprises to build secure and reliable architecture for their AI workloads. In this blog we will look at a reference architecture for private connectivity for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)-capable generative AI applications. This architecture is for scenarios where communications of the overall system must use private IP addresses and must …
