India's digital transformation is rapidly accelerating, with cloud computing at its core. In a recent webinar, we explored the future of cloud in India, its challenges, and its transformative potential. With insights from Janakiram MSV and Kunal Kushwaha, we uncovered how cloud, AI, and IoT are reshaping industries and what opportunities lie ahead for businesses and developers. Through this blog, we will recap some of the core topics discussed and guide you through the cloud landscape in India.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are now essential to modern artificial intelligence (AI), enabling machines to understand and generate human language. Their impact is evident across various industries, with estimates suggesting that by 2025, 750 million apps will integrate LLMs. From enhancing customer service with intelligent chatbots to advancing medical research, LLMs are driving efficiency in business operations.

Generative AI has revolutionized the way we approach creativity, allowing anyone with a computer to bring ideas to life through images, music, and more. At the forefront of this revolution is Stable Diffusion, a model that has captured the imagination of developers, artists, and hobbyists alike.

As digital transformation highlights the importance of data protection in India, data sovereignty has become essential for businesses to secure digital assets and meet local regulations. In a world where data security, privacy, and regulatory compliance are top priorities, sovereign cloud solutions have emerged as vital for safeguarding digital operations. Civo is addressing these needs by launching the Civo India Sovereign Cloud.

Data sovereignty has become increasingly critical for UK enterprises, particularly in regulated sectors like finance, healthcare, and the public sector. This is due in part to growing concerns over data security and the need for compliance with increasingly stringent regulations.

At Civo, we’ve always believed that the cloud industry should be fair, open, and accessible to companies of all sizes - not just the select few with deep pockets and large platforms. When the Open Cloud Coalition (OCC) was first proposed, we immediately saw it as an opportunity to cut through the noise and amplify the important voices of the cloud industry.

With that, the second edition of Civo Navigate Local has come to an end. While we were excited to head back to London, where we hosted the first Navigate Europe event, we were even more excited to host this event in the Civo Tech Junction, our very own event space based in the heart of London.

As a straightforward definition, AI inference is the process of applying a pre-trained machine learning model to new, unseen data in order to generate predictions, classifications, or decisions. Unlike the training phase, where the model learns from a dataset, inference involves utilizing the learned patterns to analyze and interpret new inputs.

And with that, we have concluded another incredible Navigate event As Navigate Europe 2024 comes to an end, we couldn't be more grateful for everyone involved, from our sponsors, attendees, and most importantly, the Civo team. It was a packed event with over 40 talks and workshops on a range of topics, such as artificial intelligence (AI), emerging technology, LLMs, and security in the cloud native space.

When looking back at the role artificial intelligence (AI) has played in revolutionizing different industries that would typically require human intelligence, it is important to consider the next steps in this journey and how it is starting to evolve. With the growth of the industry, the volume and complexity of data are becoming unmanageable for pre-existing AI models.
