Training a frontier model is highly compute-intensive, requiring a distributed system of hundreds, or thousands, of accelerated instances running for several weeks or months to complete a single job. For example, pre-training the Llama 3 70B model with 15 trillion training tokens took 6.5 million H100 GPU hours. On 256 Amazon EC2 P5 instances (p5.48xlarge, each with 8 NVIDIA H100 GPUs), this would take approximately 132 days.

Traditionally, the main benefit that generative AI technology offered DevOps teams was the ability to produce things, such as code, quickly and automatically. But not all DevOps work involves generating things. Much of it centers on performing actions, like modifying cloud service configurations, deploying applications or merging log files, to name just a handful of examples.

Organizations are increasingly using multiple large language models (LLMs) when building generative AI applications. Although an individual LLM can be highly capable, it might not optimally address a wide range of use cases or meet diverse performance requirements. The multi-LLM approach enables organizations to effectively choose the right model for each task, adapt to different domains, and optimize for specific cost, latency, or quality needs.
