GenAI Use Cases¶
Generative AI (GenAI) workflows typically span multiple stages—from data preparation to model fine-tuning, prompt engineering, evaluation, and deployment. Kubeflow Pipelines provides a flexible and scalable orchestration engine to support these end-to-end workflows in a reproducible, modular way.
Data Preparation¶
Effective GenAI starts with high-quality, well-structured data. Use Kubeflow Pipelines to:
Ingest and preprocess unstructured data such as PDFs, HTML, images, or audio.
Convert raw documents into structured formats and chunk them for tokenization.
Clean, normalize, and deduplicate datasets for training and evaluation.
Generate embeddings using models like SentenceTransformers or CLIP.
Create and store metadata-rich artifacts for traceability and downstream reuse.
Fine-tuning & Training¶
Once data is prepared, Kubeflow Pipelines can orchestrate training jobs at scale:
Automate tokenization and model fine-tuning (e.g., LoRA, full fine-tuning).
Parallelize hyperparameter sweeps (e.g., learning rate, batch size) using conditional and parallel components.
Leverage GPUs, TPUs, or managed training backends across environments.
Use pipeline components to separate data prep, training, and checkpoint saving.
Prompt Engineering Experiments¶
Experiment with prompt templates using parameterized pipelines:
Evaluate prompt effectiveness at scale using batch scoring jobs.
Log and compare model outputs with evaluation metrics and annotations.
Enable iterative prompt design with easy-to-swap text templates.
Evaluation & Monitoring¶
Build pipelines to evaluate and monitor model outputs:
Compare generations against reference outputs using BLEU, ROUGE, or custom metrics.
Integrate human-in-the-loop review and scoring.
Run periodic evaluation pipelines to detect degradation or drift in output quality.
Inference & Deployment¶
Turn generative models into production services with reproducible deployment steps:
Package and deploy models as containerized services using KServe or custom backends.
Use CI/CD pipelines to roll out new versions with A/B testing or canary releases.
Scale endpoints dynamically based on request volume and latency metrics.
Multimodal Generative Workflows¶
Design rich pipelines that support multiple input/output modalities:
Combine text, image, and audio generation into a unified DAG.
Orchestrate complex workflows involving model chaining and data routing.
Use custom components to process modality-specific inputs and outputs.
