Story
Inside Toast, applied AI delivery used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in information technology groups working out of the United States. ML and product teams needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Toast uses IBM Cloud from IBM as the working layer for model serving. IBM offers hybrid cloud, AI, and automation software, including watsonx, Red Hat OpenShift, and observability products for large enterprises. 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 Toast gets from IBM 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.
