Abstract: The present disclosure involves methods, apparatus, and systems for customizing artificial intelligence (AI) models by performing automated, on-demand training. This can include, receiving, from an entity, a prompt for a generative AI model; updating a first interaction record with the prompt, the first interaction record comprising a history of interactions between the entity and the generative AI model; in response to determining that the updated first interaction record is greater than a predetermined size: loading the generative AI model into a training environment; loading one or more adapters in the training environment; training the one or more adapters in the training environment with the generative AI model based on the first interaction record; updating a second interaction record with the history of interactions in the first interaction record; clearing the first interaction record; and loading the trained one or more adapters with the generative AI model in an inference environment.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is presented for distributing data among media servers in a network. Methods implemented in accordance with the teachings of the present invention facilitate load balancing across the network. In one embodiment, a client-side load-balancing method is presented. In a second embodiment, a server-side load-balancing method is presented.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing polling is presented. Polling servers include the intelligence and as such may control polling clients. What is polled, when it is polled and how it is polled is controlled by the polling server and may be dynamically changed and any time. As such, the polling server may dynamically reconfigure the polling process for a polling client. In one embodiment, the polling server directs and controls the polling client(s) in a manner that effects load-balancing in a network.

Abstract: A web server, a polling server, a client subscriber, and a plurality of media providers communicate with each other via a network. Media providers enlist the services of an Affinity Broadcast Network to provide their media content to a client subscriber. Likewise, a client subscriber contacts the Affinity Broadcast Network to subscribe for the delivery of media content from a media provider. The Affinity Broadcast Network monitors the media provider in order to determine when media content is available to be delivered to the client subscriber. When media content is available the Affinity Broadcast Network instructs the client subscriber to request the media content from the media provider and the media content is “pushed” to the client subscriber. The media providers may be located in various locations.
