Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing video game content is provided. The method comprises monitoring a request rate of requests to provide video game content; and in response to the request rate exceeding a threshold request rate: initialising at least one instance of a first machine learning model, wherein the first machine learning model is configured to provide an output which is approximate to the output of a second machine learning model from which the first machine learning model is derived, the first machine learning model being produced by a model derivation process to have a faster response time compared to the second machine learning model; and providing video game content, wherein providing the video game content comprises generating an output responsive to the specified input using the at least one instance of the first machine learning model.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing video game content is provided. The method comprises maintaining a current machine learning model for each of a plurality of machine learning model branches; receiving a request to provide video game content responsive to specified input; in response to receiving the request, identifying a selected one of the machine learning model branches, wherein the machine learning model branch is selected based on an evaluation of the current machine learning model for each branch; and providing video game content responsive to the request, wherein providing the video game content comprises generating an output responsive to the specified input with the current machine learning model for the selected branch.
