ML platforms help enable intelligent data-driven applications and maintain them with limited engineering effort. Upon sufficiently broad adoption, such platforms reach economies of scale that bring greater component reuse while improving efficiency of system development and maintenance. For an end-to-end ML platform with broad adoption, scaling relies on pervasive ML automation and system integration to reach the quality we term self-serve; a quality we define with ten requirements and six optional capabilities.

In the short time that large language models have gone mainstream, we’ve started to see several patterns that AI researchers and developers have used to build their products. These include things like prompt engineering, prompt templating, chain of thought, vectorized memory and embeddings, and more. They’ve enabled new forms of natural language-based apps and have truly opened people’s imagination to what is possible with AI.
