Key Facts

Companies worldwide, grappling with inefficiencies, risk management issues, customer attrition, research constraints, and the threat of stagnation, are actively seeking AI solutions to maintain their competitive edge.

The cost to develop and maintain Large Language Models (LLMs) can be extraordinarily high and can require significant investment in resources, personnel, and advanced technology. One of the main problems for businesses while implementing AI is the processing and preparation of data for training algorithms. Data scientists spend the bulk of their time cleaning and organizing data, and organizations lack the internal teams to build or carry through projects that use AI. This has placed the benefits of AI out of reach for all but a few enterprises.

Managed and automated AI development platforms like H2O.ai have gained ground in recent years to address these issues. H2O.ai makes AI usable by any kind of enterprise. H2O.ai offers a fast, scalable and open-source platform for machine learning. It provides organizations with a customizable platform that allows them to build AI models to meet their unique needs and use ready-made applications from various fields.

Creating AI models used to take data scientists months or even years, but with the H2O AI Cloud, any individual data analyst, developer, or data scientist can make world-class AI models and applications in a matter of minutes, rapidly putting AI into the hands of business users.

The H2O AI Cloud solves complex business problems and accelerates the discovery of new ideas with results users can understand and trust. H2O.ai’s comprehensive automated machine learning (autoML) capabilities transform how AI is created and consumed.
