SAP widens Business AI strategy with Meta open source models

SAP used its SAP Sapphire user, developer, practitioner, customer, partner event this week in Orlando, Florida to showcase its work in open source model development carried out in association with Meta..

The company explained that it provides access to AI models through the generative AI hub in SAP AI Core on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP). By integrating AI capabilities into the business context of organisation’s operational and organisational fabric, users are promised an opportunity to benefit from solutions that are relevant, reliable and responsible.

Grounded in an AI ethics framework, SAP collaborates with partners on industry-specific data and deep process knowledge. Using and fostering a multi-partner approach helps the company champion flexibility and prevents vendor lock-in, so it is claimed.

SAP is now integrating the Meta Llama 2 and Meta Llama 3 models into the generative AI hub to enable customers to create dashboards based on content with Llama qualitative conversational outputs, and to explore use cases built with Meta Llama 3.  

An SAP Business AI white paper provides an overview of SAP’s business AI strategy, highlighting the opportunity for the SAP ecosystem to build an array of solutions with generative AI capabilities and extensions on SAP BTP. 

SAP will make Joule available in SAP Analytics Cloud to let planning and analytics users get work done faster and drive business outcomes in a secure and compliant way. The range of capabilities offered by Meta Llama 3 will enable Joule users to get assistance with key activities, including the auto-generation of custom scripts to extend dashboards, as well as delivery of the most accurate scripts directly in SAP Analytics Cloud.
