Inferencing AI Models on Qubrid AI On-Prem and in Cloud
In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence (AI), inferencing is a crucial process. It refers to the application of a trained AI model to new data to make predictions or decisions. However, deploying AI models, particularly for real-time applications, requires a focus on performance, scalability, and efficiency. This is where Qubrid AI, a platform designed for optimized edge computing, shines. In this blog, we will explore what inferencing is, why it matters, and how Qubrid AI enhances AI model inferencing at the edge.
What is Inferencing in AI?
Inferencing is the phase of AI where the trained model is deployed to make predictions on new data. For example, a model trained for image recognition might analyze a photo to classify it, or a recommendation system might suggest products based on a user’s preferences. Unlike model training, which is computationally intensive and often done in the cloud, inferencing needs to be fast, efficient, and low-latency, especially for use cases that demand real-time predictions, such as autonomous vehicles, industrial IoT, or healthcare.
The challenge arises when AI models, particularly complex deep learning models, need to run on edge devices, which are often limited in computational power, storage, and bandwidth. This is where edge inferencing becomes critical, allowing for faster predictions and reduced data transmission.
The Challenge of Inferencing AI Models
AI models, especially deep learning models, are resource-intensive. The challenge is to execute these models efficiently on devices with limited resources, such as smartphones, IoT sensors, or embedded systems. Qubrid AI enables inferencing on NVIDIA’s latest high performing GPUs such as H200, H100, L40S and others for fast results.
GPU Cloud and Appliance inferencing provides several benefits:
- Reduced Latency: Processing data on high end GPUs leads to quicker decision-making.
- Lower Bandwidth Usage: Local computation reduces the need for constant data transfer to the cloud, conserving bandwidth.
- Enhanced Privacy: Keeping sensitive data on local GPU appliances or restricted cloud tenants improves security and privacy.
- Energy Efficiency: by improving GPU utilization Qubrid AI helps save on energy spending during inferencing tasks.
