The Rise of AI in FP&A: How insightsoftware Empowers Your Team

Despite the transformative potential of AI, many financial planning and analysis (FP&A) teams are hesitating, waiting for this emerging technology to mature before investing. According to a recent Gartner report, a staggering 61% of finance organizations haven’t yet adopted AI. Finance has always been considered risk averse, so it is perhaps unsurprising to see that AI adoption in finance significantly lags other departments.

LLM Validation and Evaluation

LLM evaluation is the process of assessing the performance and capabilities of LLMs. This helps determine how well the model understands and generates language, ensuring that it meets the specific needs of applications. There are multiple ways to perform LLM evaluation, each with different advantages. In this blog post, we explain the role of LLM evaluation in AI lifecycles and the different types of LLM evaluation methods. In the end, we show a demo of a chatbot that was developed with crowdsourcing.

Event-Driven Microservices in Banking and Fraud Detection | Designing Event-Driven Microservices

How do we know whether Event-Driven Microservices are the right solution? This is the question that Tributary Bank faced when they looked at modernizing their old fraud-detection system. They were faced with many challenges, including scalability, reliability, and security. Some members of their team felt that switching to an event-driven microservice architecture would be the magic bullet that would solve all of their problems. But is there any such thing as a magic bullet? Let's take a look at the types of decisions Tributary Bank had to make as they started down this path.

Best LLM Inference Engines and Servers to Deploy LLMs in Production

AI applications that produce human-like text, such as chatbots, virtual assistants, language translation, text generation, and more, are built on top of Large Language Models (LLMs). If you are deploying LLMs in production-grade applications, you might have faced some of the performance challenges with running these models. You might have also considered optimizing your deployment with an LLM inference engine or server.

Snowflake Arctic Cookbook Series: Instruction-Tuning Arctic

On April 24, we released Snowflake Arctic with a key goal in mind: to be truly open. In line with that goal, the Snowflake AI Research team is writing a series of cookbooks to describe how to pretrain, fine-tune, evaluate, and serve large-scale mixture-of-experts (MoEs) such as Arctic.

Contributing to Apache Kafka: How to Write a KIP

I’m brand new to writing KIPs (Kafka Improvement Proposals). I’ve written two so far, and my hands sweat every time I hit send on an email with ‘ KIP’ in the title. But I’ve also learned a lot from the process: about Apache Kafka internals, the process of writing KIPs, the Kafka community, and the most important motivation for developing software: our end users. What did I actually write? Let’s review KIP-941 and KIP-1020.
