WorkingVendor case studyVendor ↗

Problem

Yext's data science team needed a common way to deploy many kinds of models for its products. The models ranged from generative and fine-tuned small language models to classical statistical ML. Yext also needed to serve them across several clouds and regions.

Approach

Yext standardised on BentoML's BentoCloud inference platform. The data science team deployed and scaled models without waiting on engineering. Multi-cloud deployment let Yext meet local rules and use GPUs with better rates and availability.

Results

70%cut in model development time, per BentoMLVendor case study[1]
up to 80%lower compute costs, per BentoMLVendor case study[1]
2xmore models shipped, per BentoMLVendor case study[1]
more than 150models running in production, per BentoMLVendor case study[1]

Takeaway

A shared deployment platform let the data science team ship models on its own. All figures come from the platform vendor.
