Integrating AI into Business Practices

AI technologies, particularly large language models (LLMs), are increasingly being incorporated into various business operations, such as customer support and knowledge management. This integration brings notable benefits, but it also highlights rising costs associated with maintaining AI infrastructure and teams. Teams deploying these technologies must manage expenses not only during the model training phase but also throughout the ongoing operation of AI pipelines.
