RAG vs fine-tuning vs long context: what is working for your use case?
Share the use case, the approach you chose and the results.
In short
MLOps is the practice of getting machine learning models into production and keeping them healthy: versioning data and models, serving them for inference, monitoring their behaviour and retraining when needed. For buyers, inference cost and latency, and the ability to trace any deployed model back to its data and approvals, tend to decide the platform.

The newest MLOps and inference stories from the last 90 days. Each one opens with our summary and a link to the original source.
Reflection’s open-weight Beam model on CoreWeave spans training with Weights & Biases Models, SFT in partnership with Axolotl, and Day 0 API access on Serverless Inference in CoreWeave Forge.
Today, Reflection released Beam , its first open-weight model built to give developers, researchers, and enterprises open control and customization for frontier software engineering and long-horizon agentic tasks. Released under a permissive Apache 2.0 license with BF16 , FP8 , and NVFP4 checkpoints available at launch, Beam sets a new standard for inference efficiency in the 500B-parameter class…
What we shipped at Interrupt NYC and London: LangSmith AI Search, Engine v2, Trajectories, Custom Apps, Fine-Tuning, and Managed Deep Agents v0.9.
Every few weeks, a new model steps up and claims best-in-class at something. The launch chart makes the case, the link makes the rounds, and your team is back to the question nobody has time for: should we switch? The answer takes a week of evals, side-by-side tests and debate, and by the time your team lands on one, the next contender is already on the scoreboard. It’s a race you can’t win…
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) G7 instances powered by NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs are now available in Europe (Frankfurt) and Europe (Stockholm) Regions. G7 instances deliver up to 4.6x AI inference performance and up to 2.1 graphics performance compared to G6 instances. G7 instances also deliver faster performance for GPU-accelerated data analytics workloads.…
AWS Lambda announces Lambda Web Functions, a new serverless compute primitive where your code handles HTTP requests directly. Your code listens on a port and handles requests as it would on any HTTP server. You use frameworks you already know, such as Express or Hono, with no adapters or custom configuration. This enables you to serve workloads such as AI inference endpoints, server-side rendered…
Maia 300 operates as a single platform to meet the demands of cloud-scale agentic inference.
We are expanding the Clef decision model family with Clef-omni, natively processing audio, video, images, and text in a single pipeline. We’ve also lowered Clef-flash pricing and boosted Clef inference speeds by up to 2.0x.

Plain definitions of terms that come up in MLOps and inference stories, from the Techarda glossary.
Training builds or adjusts a model from data and happens occasionally. Inference is running the model to get answers, which happens every time someone uses it. For most production systems, inference is where the ongoing cost sits.
Yes. Prompts, retrieval settings, model versions and evaluation sets all change and need the same versioning, testing and monitoring as classic models. Some teams call this LLMOps, but the discipline is the same.
Latency, errors and cost per request, plus quality signals: drift in the input data, shifts in outputs and, where you can, results checked against what actually happened.
