Introduction Vision Language Models (VLMs) are crucial for bridging the gap between visual and textual data by combining image and language understanding. Some important VLMs’ use cases are: VLMs are considered an improvement over traditional Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems by incorporating contextual awareness beyond pixel-level recognition. Heatwave GenAI already provides industry-first in-database LLMs, an […]

Introduction In today’s data-driven enterprises, the volume of unstructured documents is growing rapidly. AI powered document summarization improves enterprise efficiency by eliminating the need to go over these documents manually. Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful tools for summarizing documents, but they face context window limits when dealing with long documents. Furthermore, studies show that […]
