Empower is a serverless platform for hosting fine-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs). It offers pre-built, task-specific models that deliver high-quality responses comparable to advanced AI systems, but with improved speed and cost-efficiency.

Key features:
- Prebuilt Task-Specific Models: Provides models with response quality comparable to advanced AI systems in specific task domains, offering 3x faster latency and time to first token (TTFT) at 15x lower cost.
- Empower-Functions Model Family: Tailored for real-world function calling use cases, offering enhanced flexibility and performance, with open-source availability.
- Model Ownership: Users retain ownership of their models with no vendor lock-in, compatible with PEFT-based LoRAs (Low-Rank Adaptation).
- Rapid Deployment: Ensures sub-second cold start times, making deployments as performant as dedicated instances.
- Pay-As-You-Use Pricing: Users are charged on a per-token basis, avoiding expensive dedicated instance fees.
- Cost-Effective Serving: Offers efficient performance without compromising on quality, suitable for various real-world applications.

How it works:
1. Select a prebuilt model from a range of task-specific options
2. Fine-tune the selected model to meet specific needs
3. Deploy the model with sub-second cold start times
4. Integrate the model into applications, paying only for tokens used

Integrations:
Supports integration with various tools and platforms compatible with PEFT-based LoRAs

Use of AI:
Empower leverages generative AI by providing models fine-tuned for specific tasks, ensuring high-quality responses. These models are built on advanced AI foundation models, ensuring robust performance and versatility.
