In this episode of the Kubernetes Bytes podcast, Bhavin sits down with  Sachi Desai, Product Manager and Paul Yu, Sr. Cloud Advocate at Microsoft to talk about the open source KAITO project. KAITO is the Kubernetes AI Toolchain Operator that enables AKS users to deploy open source LLM models on their Kubernetes clusters. They discuss how KAITO helps with running AI-enabled applications alongside the LLM models, how it helps users bring their own LLM models and run them as containers, and how KAITO helps them fine-tune open source LLMs on their Kubernetes clusters.
