While enterprises are exploring the power of gen AI, they have
to distill and refine the underlying LLM models with their own data
and unique processes. The Accenture AI Refinery framework, which
sits within its foundation model services, marks a significant step
forward in the use of generative AI for enterprises. It will enable
clients to build custom LLMs with domain-specific knowledge and
deploy powerful AI systems that reflect their unique business needs
and help drive reinvention of their business, and their
industry.
Julie Sweet, chair and CEO of Accenture, said, “The world’s
leading enterprises are looking to reinvent with tech, data and AI.
They see how generative AI is transforming every industry and are
eager to deploy applications powered by custom models. Accenture
has been working with NVIDIA technology to reinvent enterprise
functions and now can help clients quickly create and deploy their
own custom Llama models to power transformative AI applications for
their own business priorities.”
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, said, “The introduction
of Meta’s openly available Llama models marks a pivotal moment for
enterprise generative AI adoption, and many are seeking expert
guidance and resources to create their own custom Llama LLMs.
Powered by NVIDIA AI Foundry, Accenture’s AI Refinery will help
fuel business growth with end-to-end generative AI services for
developing and deploying custom models.”
Accenture is also using this AI Refinery framework to reinvent
its enterprise functions, initially with marketing and
communications and then extending to other functions. The solution
is enabling Accenture to quickly create gen AI applications that
are trained for its unique business needs.
Accenture’s new AI Refinery framework has four key elements to
help enterprises adapt and customize prebuilt foundation models and
deploy them to reflect their unique business needs:
- Domain model customization and training: distill and refine
prebuilt foundation models with customers’ own data and unique
processes to drive reinvention and value powered by NVIDIA AI
Foundry.
- Switchboard platform: allows a user to select a combination of
models to address the business context or based on factors, such as
cost or accuracy.
- Enterprise cognitive brain: scans and vectorizes all corporate
data and knowledge into an enterprise-wide index to empower gen-AI
machines.
- Agentic architecture: enables AI systems to act autonomously—to
reason, plan and propose tasks that can be executed responsibly
with minimal human oversight.
These services will be available to all customers using Llama in
Accenture AI Refinery, which is built on the NVIDIA AI Foundry
service comprised of foundation models, NVIDIA NeMo and other
enterprise software, accelerated computing, expert support and a
broad partner ecosystem. Models created with AI Refinery can be
deployed across all hyper scaler clouds with a variety of
commercial options.
