As discussed at the beginning of this article, the
excitement with AI is carrying us along in a big wave, but
the practitioners whose job it is to make this all work
are scrambling behind the scenes, often more in dread
than excitement. In some cases, they are using outdated
techniques; in others, approaches that only work for now;
and every so often they are doing nothing at all in order
to meet significant operational, technical, and business
challenges.
In MLOps terms, it sometimes feels that we are using
older paradigms to manage a thoroughly new situation,
and it’s not entirely clear that we really see it like this.
We should be casting about for either a better paradigm
or a better patching-up of the existing paradigms than is
available today. Regardless, we hope that the summary
of the problems presented here is a useful stimulant to
people attempting to think about them more holistically
and, hopefully, helps to provide some answers.
Thanks, appreciated. I read about 2/3 or the article. I like the content, and appreciate that it doesn’t scream “written by AI”, but it did get long winded in places.
