**************************Centralized enterprise AI control (gateways/MCP) and FinOps wins**************************
Key Questions
What is centralized enterprise AI control?
It involves gateways and Model Context Protocol (MCP) like SAP Joule, Miro, and Strands-Kiro for standardized AI integration. Tools such as TrueFoundry AI Gateway and Pinterest's MCP ecosystem manage agent workflows. UiPath BYOM and Control-M ensure reliable orchestration.
How do FinOps practices reduce AI costs?
sllm's cohort sharing cuts DeepSeek V3 access from $14,000 to $5/month, with 7B SLMs saving 75-92% via AWQ quantization. KServe+Triton supports inference optimizations like TensorRT and vLLM. ChatGPT Business at $25/mo adds cost levers.
What role does MCP play in enterprise AI?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes AI tool integration, used by Miro for engineering workflows and Pinterest at production scale. Strands-Kiro's AgentCore builds on AWS and MCP. SAP Community discusses its standardization benefits.
What are examples of LLM inference in production?
FAANG uses KServe + Triton for canary/A/B testing and vLLM. TrueFoundry and BentoML provide enterprise-grade gateways. HF TRL v1.0 unifies fine-tuning workflows for SFT and DPO.
How does UiPath support enterprise AI?
UiPath Automation Cloud configures LLMs and supports BYOM for custom models. It integrates with agent workflows via Control-M. ServiceNow research shows terminal agents suffice for automation.
What savings come from small language models (SLMs)?
7B SLMs achieve 75-92% savings over larger models using AWQ quant. sllm enables cohort GPU sharing for DeepSeek V3 at $5/mo. Shopify-like switches to efficient models like Qwen amplify FinOps wins.
What risks does AIGP address in enterprise AI?
AIGP (AI Governance Professional) mitigates risks in MLOps/LLMOps stacks versus ServiceNow. It integrates IAM and observability. Cases highlight governance in production deployments.
How do tools like OpenRouter Fusion aid control?
OpenRouter Fusion and NetScaler enable model switching and cost optimization. MS Foundry, ScaleOps, and DoiT support multi-model scaling. They complement gateways for FinOps.
