Empower

What is Empower?

Empower is an innovative serverless platform specifically crafted to host fine-tuned Large Language Models like GPT-4, which allows developers and users to deploy LoRA models with outstanding ease and efficiency. The best part about the platform is that it doesn’t compromise on the quality and response time of GPT-4 but at a significantly lower cost.

Empower comes with a library of pre-built task-specific models with GPT-4 quality, which perform up to 3× reduced latency and time to the first token responses. This basically means that Empower becomes 15 times more cost-effective in terms of output tokens. Additionally, the ’empower-functions’ model provides a richer user experience with the function-calling capability required in applications used in the real world.

Key Features & Benefits

• 
  Quality Comparable to GPT-4:
  
  Quality responses at a level comparable to GPT-4, but fine-tuned to perform your tasks.
• 
  High Performance:
  
  Take advantage of an overall latency and TTFT that is 3x faster.
• 
  Cost-Effective:
  
  Generate cost efficiencies through 7x cheaper input tokens and 20x cheaper output tokens.
• 
  No Vendor Lock-In:
  
  You own the models fully and can train them anywhere with no vendor lock-in.
• 
  On-Demand:
  
  Pay-as-you-use with serverless model, sub-second code start times.

Empower is performant without racking up running costs or suffering through costly, long-winded setups. Pay as you go on a per-token basis, with no need to pay for expensive dedicated instances and no cold starts, for real assurance with near-immediate deployment. You completely own the models with no vendor lock-in.

Use-Cases and Applications for Empower

• 
  Chatbots:
  
  Deploy highly responsive and cost-effective chatbots that can interact with the user in a friendly way when dealing with the customer’s queries.
• 
  Function-Calling Tasks:
  
  Use the empower-functions model in many advanced, complex AI tasks that need to call the function services.
• 
  Custom Applications:
  
  Model fine-tuning and first-party application deployment services in the areas of health, finance, and e-commerce.

Industries able to gain value out of this include, but are not limited to, customer service, health, finance, and e-commerce—any domain where every possible answer can be both quick and accurate. Success stories and use cases go hand in hand to tell the story of the platform’s impact across a range of different sectors, proving its wide applicability and effectiveness.

Best Practices:

Preferably know your exact use case and select the model which best suits your requirement. Empower also provides detailed docs and live demos to use for getting insights and optimizations in deploying process.

How Empower Works

Empower seamlessly hosts fine-tuned LLMs by using the most advanced serverless technology on the market. It uses LoRA models—highly efficient and leading in performance. All of this underlying technology ensures no cold starts, with models deployed in an instant.

It involves selection or fine-tuning of model, deployment over Empower, and using the ‘pay as you use’ pricing model to ensure that management is cost-effective. More importantly, the model ’empower-functions’ has more enhanced ability when dealing with function-calling tasks, making it very relevant to applications based in the real world.

Empower Pros and Cons

Pros

• GPT-4 quality level responses
• 3x faster latency and TTFT
• Helps save input output tokens by large extent
• No vendor locking and full model ownership.
• Instant deployment. Eliminates cold starts.

Cons

• This, however, puts it to a disadvantage of the serverless operation depending on its dependency on the internet.
• One has to do a little bit of initial familiarization with his interface and features.
• Users commonly highlight that Empower is cost-effective, fast, and easy to use; however, some users mentioned that they got stuck in some ways while learning how to use the platform.

Empower users to start free and scale their service as needed through the freemium model. The ‘pay-as-use’ mode subtracts money from the users of the other mode at every service. Its per-token charges make it highly economical for fluctuating usage. Empower turns out to be a significant value compared to the competitors, particularly with lowered input and output token charges.

Conclusion on Empower

Empower is a much more powerful and inexpensive solution when hosting fine-tuned models like the GPT-4. To put it shortly, the key features are the guarantees of high-quality responses and better performance at a huge cost reduction compared to alternatives, thus making it very special for developers and business people in general. This results in flexibility and efficiency with no vendor lock-in and instant deployment.

Going forward, with advances and upgrades, the platform will grow to be much more relevant as AI-based applications are brought on stream.

Empower FAQs
