Gokul Anil - PeerSpot reviewer
Has streamlined test creation and analysis while needing better semantic accuracy for specific domain knowledge
Cohere is very useful because I have been in scenarios where code was written with multiple reusable concepts containing many functionalities covered as different functions, but without descriptions of what particular functions were doing. We used Cohere intelligence and its knowledge on Oracle ERP PPM, and it was able to read through all the TypeScript code and create descriptions intelligently, which were almost 90% correct when reviewed. It was very useful because we had 500-plus reusables, and it was able to analyze all of them and put them into a catalog. This makes it very easy to find and use the catalog to determine whether existing functionality is already implemented, preventing redundant implementations. When it creates a new test, it creates it almost 70 to 80% correctly without errors. The time savings are significant - what previously took one or two days can now be completed in two to three hours maximum. We can complete many more tests in a day or sprint with Cohere's help. Along with test automation, we handle analysis tasks, and now we have more time for better analysis. We are planning to implement test analysis capabilities as well. Once you receive the requirements and test cases, you can directly use them as input, and it will generate all artifacts and test data.
Mahender Reddy Pokala - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved model deployment on edge devices, but compatibility and scalability present challenges
I found OpenVINO's ability to convert custom models into its format particularly beneficial, as businesses sometimes require unique models specific to their use cases. Utilizing OpenVINO allowed me to run these custom models on devices directly, which I found quite impressive. Additionally, the Model Zoo offered by OpenVINO added value to the product.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"A direct benefit of using Cohere's reranking model is that we can tell clients we have this module rather than missing this piece, as reranking is a very important component that companies discuss to enhance RAG quality."
"The very first thing that I really like about it is the support team. They're really available on Discord, and they answer all of your questions."
"When it creates a new test, it creates it almost 70 to 80% correctly without errors; the time savings are significant—what previously took one or two days can now be completed in two to three hours maximum."
"The runtime of OpenVINO is highly valuable for running different computer vision models."
"The benefit from using OpenVINO is that NVIDIA is dominating the market of GPUs and they set the price, so if I am able to run an LLM doing inference in commodity hardware, I am saving costs."
"The inferencing and processing capabilities are quite beneficial for our requirements."
"The features for model comparison, the feature for model testing, evaluation, and deployment are very nice. It can work almost with all the models."
"Intel's support team is very good."
"The initial setup is quite simple."
 

Cons

"Cohere has text generation. I think it is mainly focused on AI search. If there was a way to combine the searches with images, I think it would be nice to include that."
"When performing similarity matching between text descriptions and the catalog descriptions created using Cohere, the matching could be improved."
"It's challenging for us to make a conclusion about quality, but the speed is good."
"At this point, the product could probably just use a greater integration with more machine learning model tools."
"The model optimization is a little bit slow — it could be improved."
"I couldn't get it to run on my Raspberry Pi 4 because the software packages to download were no longer available."
"It has some disadvantages because when you're working with very complex models, neural networks if OpenVINO cannot convert them automatically and you have to do a custom layer and later add it to the model. It is difficult."
"I think that it's not properly designed for scalability. It's designed for other purposes, specifically to be able to use Intel hardware and run inference using generative models or deep learning models in Intel hardware."
"It would be great if OpenVINO could convert new models into its format more quickly."
"Scalability is a challenge with OpenVINO, particularly when I try to connect multiple streams of input or run multiple edge devices consecutively."
