AI Factory in Hybrid Manager

AI Factory in Hybrid Manager#

The AI Factory workload in Hybrid Manager brings scalable AI, machine learning, and Gen AI capabilities to your Hybrid Manager platform. It enables you to operationalize AI across your Hybrid Manager–managed clusters and data — with deep integration across Postgres, vector search, model serving, and AI assistants.

With AI Factory in Hybrid Manager, you can:

  • Deploy Gen AI assistants and agents for internal or external-facing use

  • Serve AI models at scale with integrated KServe-powered inferencing and GPU acceleration

  • Create Knowledge Bases and perform Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with vector search

  • Manage your model library and deploy trusted models under Hybrid Manager governance

  • Integrate AI features directly into your applications and data pipelines

Example AI solutions you can build#

AI Factory in Hybrid Manager enables solutions across many domains:

  • Enterprise search and knowledge assistants Build RAG-based assistants that integrate with corporate documents, databases, and intranet content.

  • Customer support chatbots Deploy assistants powered by your own data and domain-specific models, combining conversational AI with Knowledge Bases.

  • AI-driven data apps Expose AI-powered endpoints for apps — semantic search, recommendations, similarity search, or natural language querying.

  • Operational AI for internal tools Build AI agents and tools to assist with DevOps, customer success, HR automation, sales enablement, and more.

  • Domain-specific model serving Serve proprietary or fine-tuned models (LLMs, embedding models, ranking models) as scalable inference services within your Hybrid Manager cluster.

You can start small — with a single assistant or model endpoint — and scale to full AI-powered applications using the AI Factory architecture.

In addition to AI Factory content in the hub, Hybrid Manager provides additional Learn content for Hybrid Manager–specific usage:

How AI Factory fits within Hybrid Manager#

Hybrid Manager is the control plane for your databases, analytics, and AI workloads. AI Factory complements other HM capabilities:

  • Databases: Provision and manage Postgres clusters; AI Factory connects to these for vector search, RAG, and application endpoints.

  • Analytics: Offload data to Iceberg/Delta and query via SQL; AI Factory’s Pipelines and Vector Engine integrate with these datasets for retrieval.

  • Operations: Use HM observability and governance to monitor Gen AI, Pipelines, and model serving alongside databases and analytics.

Prerequisites for AI Factory in HM:

  • A Hybrid Manager project with AI Factory enabled and required entitlements for Gen AI, Pipelines, Vector Engine, and Model Serving.

  • Access to GPU resources where needed for serving. See GPU resource management .
