Yesterday, Rick Vanover joined me for a sit-down episode of NetApp ONAIR to have a general discussion around the state of the industry around virtualization, how backup is in NO WAY "boring," and how Veeam Software is empowering users with #GenAI to improve backup and recovery. Also, Rickatron has a few new tshirts to make now. Put this on in the background while you're working, as there's a lot of solid nuggets of info and wisdom in here!

Challenge ➡️ We all want to benefit from enterprise #AI but the resources needed to select, tune, and maintain in-house models can add to the complexity.... Solution ➡️ “Smaller, built-to-purpose, and more broadly accessible models CAN make AI strategies more achievable for a much broader set of users and organizations”, says Jim Mercer, program vice president in the Software Development, DevOps, and DevSecOps group at IDC. Find out more how IBM & Red Hat are tackling this complexity with the introduction of InstructLab: open-source project for enhancing LLMs used in GenAI-based apps. #AI #genAI #RHEL #RHELAI #instructlab #GraniteModels #opensource
