【2021 Solutions】 InfuseAI focuses on building the PrimeHub MLOps software platform to lower the threshold for enterprises to introduce AI technology
In light of the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), InfuseAI has created PrimeHub, a one-stop AI deployment platform software, with the aim of lowering the barriers for AI adoption and assisting enterprises in a successful transformation. InfuseAI Inc., founded in 2018 by senior developers from the Taiwanese open-source community, g0v's Chia-liang Kao, and KKTIX founder Liang-Bin Hsueh, specializes in PrimeHub, the AI deployment platform software.
▲InfuseAI's COO Liang-Bin Hsueh shares insights on MLOps implementation and application
InfuseAI's COO, Liang-Bin Hsueh mentioned that AI project development is an iterative process. During the AI product lifecycle from data collection, development, model deployment to monitoring etc., it contains many technical debts that prolong the project cycle, increase costs, and significantly reduce the benefits. Furthermore, according to statistics, data scientists spend 65% of their work hours on tasks other than model development. The realization of AI not only involves development but also includes maintenance and cross-team collaboration issues. All these factors significantly slow down the speed of AI development to match the company's needs.
Liang-Bin Hsueh points out that the issues arising from the inability of AI development speed to keep up with enterprise needs can be specifically illustrated in the following two aspects:
• Speed of AI model development: In the past, it took 1 to 2 years to complete an AI project. However, as enterprises adopt AI, the project and AI model numbers multiply.
• Operational issues after AI model deployment: The lifecycle of an AI model begins after deployment. As data accumulates, AI models can be retrained to enhance performance. However, as the number of models grows, operational issues and computational resource bottlenecks emerge.
Hence, the MLOps platform—PrimeHub, developed by InfuseAI, encompasses the processes from AI model development, training management, to operational deployment and monitoring, offering a one-stop platform service through a smooth automated AI workflow that enables true enterprise AI implementation.
In other words, the InfuseAI team continuously adds to PrimeHub Apps by integrating third-party application services, actively collaborating with more manufacturers to seamlessly integrate AI models into PrimeHub, and eagerly anticipates cooperation with more businesses focused on AI technology and SI partners to inspire more applications on the MLOps platform and further promote large-scale AI implementation. Since its formation over three years ago, InfuseAI's clients include Taiwan AI Academy, E.SUN Financial Holdings, Sinopac Financial Holdings, National Taiwan University Hospital, and Chi Mei Hospital. Among these, InfuseAI works closely with Taiwan AI Academy to address various academic needs. Teaching assistants at each branch only need to operate simply in the PrimeHub platform, where all management tasks are automatically completed. Students in PrimeHub’s self-service platform establish a uniform pre-configured environment, allowing multiple deep learning calculations simultaneously, isolated by containers without interference. Additionally, assistants can decide on the data to load based on the course progress, automatically loading course files and datasets when students launch the environment.
Yushan Financial Holdings began intensive integration into AI development in 2018, acquiring GPU computing resources. They discovered the need for robust infrastructure to speed up operations amidst numerous individuals and projects concurrently. They sought a management platform to assist with computing resource management and data authorization.
Liang-Bin Hsueh states that the PrimeHub platform aims to help enterprises scale AI development, reducing model deployment time from days to hours, further facilitated by APIs and APPs to automate and optimize workflows. PrimeHub operates on a yearly subscription basis, promising ongoing optimization of the platform environment and the flexibility to offer customized services to different customers. Currently, it offers three solutions: PrimeHub Enterprise Edition, PrimeHub Deploy—a lightweight model deployment management plan, and PrimeHub Community Edition, allowing users to choose according to their needs.
