  • Patent number: 12688403
    Abstract: A generative artificial intelligence (AI) model application programming interface (API) receives a generative AI request and routes the generative AI request to a generative AI model. The generative AI model API identifies whether the generative AI request is an asynchronous or a synchronous request and identifies a likely length of generation requested by the generative AI request. The generative AI model API evaluates the available capacity of generative AI models in a shared pool of computing system resources based upon the generative AI model type requested by the generative AI request and based upon the length of the requested generation. The generative AI model API routes the generative AI request to a generative AI model based upon the available capacity, whether the generative AI request is synchronous or asynchronous, the generative AI model type, and the length of the requested generation.

  • Publication number: 20240256868
    Abstract: A machine learning (ML) controller and method for systems that can learn to stabilize them based on measurements of an unstable system. This allows for training on a system not yet controlled and for continuous learning as the stabilizer operates. The controller has improved performance on unstable systems compared to similar technologies, especially complex ones with many inputs and outputs. Furthermore, there is no need for modelling the physics, and the controller can adapt to un-analyzed or partially analyzed systems.
