Story
Inside Mercado Libre, applied AI delivery used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer discretionary groups working out of Argentina. ML and product teams needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Mercado Libre uses Tanzu from VMware as the working layer for model serving. VMware, part of Broadcom, provides virtualization, private cloud, and container software used to run enterprise data centers. The practical change is simple: applied AI delivery has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Mercado Libre gets from VMware is a durable place to run applied AI delivery and a way for ML and product teams to see the same model serving at the same time.
