A Silent Aisle, A Loud Truth The data centre aisle was unnervingly quiet. High-density AI servers hummed with an intensity that pushed the limits of what traditional airflow could sustain. In the middle of this familiar landscape sat a single liquid-cooled node: compact, efficient and completely alone. It looked like a glimpse of the future […]
The AI landscape has been dominated by Large Language Models (LLMs)—massive neural networks trained on trillions of tokens, spanning hundreds of billions of parameters. These models, such as GPT-4 or Claude, have shown remarkable general-purpose intelligence, but they come with steep costs: enormous compute requirements, GPU dependency, and operational overheads that make them inaccessible for […]
As enterprises rapidly adopt AI to improve efficiency, customer experience, and innovation, the choice of model architecture has become a critical factor. Whether it’s deploying a massive Large Language Model (LLM), an efficient Very Large Language Model (VLLM), or a compute-friendly Small Language Model (SLM), organisations are increasingly strategic about balancing performance, cost, and accuracy. […]
Not long ago, I wrote about why Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is such a pivotal architecture in modern AI workflows, particularly when compared to fine-tuning and training from scratch. The core argument was simple: RAG enables models to stay up-to-date, grounded, and efficient without massive retraining costs. It was (and still is) a pragmatic solution to […]
