How to keep agentic workloads orchestrated, fast, and affordable
Getting AI to production is only half the battle. Once agentic workloads are live, organizations face compounding challenges: token costs that grow non-linearly, latency that degrades user trust, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines that return noise instead of signal, and orchestration overhead that multiplies with every agent added to the mesh. This is where the real engineering begins. Wrap up your Path to production Tech Accelerator experience with a practical optimization playbook for agentic AI, from model selection and inference routing to prompt compression, RAG tuning, and caching strategies. Learn how to manage orchestration complexity across multi-agent systems while improving signal quality and response times. Explore FinOps practices for AI, including capacity planning, batch processing, and intelligent model routing. Walk away with actionable techniques to reduce inference costs, cut latency, and scale reliably across regions. How do I participate?
