Is there AI in Highload—and why not? [ukr]
AI has already become part of the modern engineering landscape, but things are much more complicated in high-load production systems. GenAI works well in demos and copilots, but is it ready for real-time processing, heavy workloads, and critical production scenarios?
In this panel discussion, we’ll talk about why AI has yet to become the standard for high-load architectures, where the line between ML and GenAI lies, why inference is expensive, and why FinOps is becoming a new headache for engineering teams. We’ll discuss on-prem vs cloud for AI workloads and real-world production constraints.
