Workload Assessment and Model Selection in AI Infrastructure Investments

Mohamed Yasser, a Solution Architect at Sharjah City Municipality, emphasizes the importance of workload assessment, model selection, and performance testing in enterprise AI infrastructure investments. Discussions often start with hardware considerations, such as the number of GPUs needed, but workload requirements should take precedence. For instance, a local language model may require around 4 GB of GPU memory, suggesting that shared model weights can enhance efficiency.
