Discover how ZenML implements the llms.txt standard to make ML documentation more accessible to both AI assistants and humans. Learn about our modular approach using specialized documentation files, practical integration with AI development tools, and how this structured format enhances the developer experience across different context window sizes.
ZenML 0.74.0 introduces key cloud provider features including SageMaker pipeline scheduling, Azure Container Registry implicit authentication, and Vertex AI persistent resource support. The release adds API Tokens for secure, time-boxed API authentication while delivering comprehensive improvements to timezone handling, database performance, and Helm chart deployments.
The rise of Generative AI has shifted the roles of AI Engineering and ML Engineering, with AI Engineers integrating generative AI into software products. This shift requires clear ownership boundaries and specialized expertise. A proposed solution is layer separation, separating concerns into two distinct layers: Application (AI Engineers/Software Engineers), Frontend development, Backend APIs, Business logic, User experience, and ML (ML Engineers). This allows AI Engineers to focus on user experience while ML Engineers optimize AI systems.
Learn how leading companies like Dropbox, NVIDIA, and Slack tackle LLM security in production.
