No GPU No Problem!
As businesses gather massive amounts of data, running and deploying advanced machine learning models at scale is critical to gaining valuable insights. Baseten is an open source machine learning infrastructure platform that unlocks the power of data by enabling you to build, deploy, and run ML applications with models of any size and complexity. In this talk, I will give an overview of how Baseten can help businesses unlock the potential of their data using state-of-the-art machine learning techniques. Baseten supports transformer models with billions of parameters as well as small models and provides low-latency APIs to access them. You can train, tune, evaluate, and deploy models of any framework through a single simple interface. Baseten auto-scales infrastructure to maximise performance so you can go from prototype to production instantly. I will demo how Baseten powers data-driven applications with complex models by enabling you to query, retrain, and optimise large models on demand without the need for GPUs. You will learn how Baseten can help your business gain a competitive advantage by building advanced ML applications that tap into huge datasets inferring from a library of LLMs. An interactive Q&A session will follow, where you can ask questions about how to leverage Baseten for your data and models. Baseten provides an easy to use yet powerful platform for bringing complex data-fueled models to life. Whether you want to implement transformer models that achieve state-of-the-art results or build custom models tailored to your business needs, Baseten allows you to experiment, deploy, and scale ML models to unlock new possibilities with your data.
