Teaching New Skills to an LLM: Deploy a Fine-Tuning Job on LKE

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

Pre-trained AI models are now used across many fields and applications. When working within specialized domains or knowledge bases, these models often require adjustments to improve accuracy. However, these pre-trained models have not been trained on your company’s private data and likely do not contain deep levels of details on specialized subjects.

Deploy a Chatbot and RAG Pipeline for AI Inferencing on LKE

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

LLMs (Large Language Models) are increasingly used to power chatbots or other knowledge assistants. While these models are pre-trained on vast swaths of information, they are not trained on your own private data or knowledge base. To overcome this, you need to provide this data to the LLM (a process called context augmentation). This tutorial showcases a particular method of context augmentation called Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which indexes your data and attaches relevant data as context when users sends the LLM queries.

Live Transcoding for UGC Streaming on Akamai Cloud Computing

Tue, 11 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Live streaming is a key feature of many popular internet services, including social networking, video conferencing, gaming, and sports broadcasting. These services rely on live transcoding of video streams to efficiently distribute content in formats that are suited to the network and device constraints where they are viewed. Video transcoding is a compute-intensive process, so maximizing the number of video streams that can be transcoded on available hardware is a primary consideration.

Ad-Tech on Akamai: Distributed Demand-Side Platform

Tue, 07 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Advertisers (and ad agencies) utilize demand-side platforms (DSPs) to engage in programmatic ad-buying. DSPs enable advertisers to configure their ad campaigns and place bids for ad inventory (ad space on a publisher’s website). As the volume of bids from advertisers and ad inventory from publishers increases, so does the complexity for processing bids and matching them to the available inventory.

VOD Transcoding for OTT Media with Akamai Cloud Computing

Mon, 06 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Video on demand (VOD) streaming services rely on the transcoding of video streams to efficiently distribute content. In transcoding workflows, video is converted to formats that are suited to the network and device constraints where they are viewed. Video transcoding is a compute-intensive process, so maximizing the number of video streams that can be transcoded on available hardware is a primary consideration. Transcoding efficiency can vary between the compute offerings of different infrastructure providers, and evaluations of transcoding performance should be performed when selecting a cloud infrastructure platform.

Application (HTTP) vs Network (TCP) Load Balancers

Tue, 16 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Load balancing is the process of distributing client requests across multiple servers. Originally, load balancers were dedicated hardware appliances connected to physical servers in data centers. Today, software products such as Akamai NodeBalancers perform the same role with cloud-based servers.

Deploy a MERN Stack Application on Akamai

Thu, 14 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000

MERN is a stack for modern web applications. It consists of MongoDB, Express JS, React, and Node.js — all well-established open-source technologies that make a solid foundation for new web applications.

An Overview of Package Management in Linux

Tue, 05 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000

On Linux, software is typically built as a package, distributed through repositories, and managed on the end-user’s system through package managers. Each Linux system typically contains thousands of packages, many of which are required dependencies for other packages.

Install the .NET Runtime (or SDK) on Ubuntu 22.04

Tue, 13 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Microsoft .NET (pronounced dot net and sometimes written as dotnet) is a free and open-source platform for building, distributing, and running software applications. Developers can write code for their applications in multiple languages (including C# and Visual Basic) and target any operating system that supports .NET (including Windows, Linux, and macOS). Using the .NET platform (and it’s many available libraries and app models), developers can create command-line apps, web applications (with ASP.NET), cross-platform mobile and desktop applications (with .NET MAUI), and much more.
