Building a successful AI solution isn’t just about picking the smartest model—it’s about picking the right tool for your specific problem.

Join AI Innovators of Greenville for a practical session on AI solution architecture.

We are moving beyond the hype to explore the full landscape of building AI products. Sometimes the answer is a massive LLM; sometimes it’s a specialized fine-tuned model; and sometimes, it’s a combination of both wrapped in solid engineering.

In this session, we will cover:

**The Decision Matrix**: A framework for choosing your stack based on Cost, Privacy, Latency, and Complexity.

**The Full Spectrum of Tools**:

* Foundation LLMs: When to use them (reasoning, creative writing, general tasks).
* Small Language Models (SLMs): When to host your own (specialized tasks, high-volume data, on-premise needs).
* Hybrid Architectures: How to combine powerful LLMs with efficient smaller models to get the best of both worlds.
* Build vs. Buy: Real-world advice on when to use an API and when to engineer a custom solution.

**Case Studies**:
We will walk through real scenarios—from document processing to custom image recognition—and break down why specific models were chosen to solve those specific problems.

**Who is this for?**
This meetup is for business leaders who want to understand the "how" behind the ROI, and developers/engineers looking to sharpen their architectural skills.

**Agenda:**
• 6:00 PM: Networking
• 6:30 PM: Talk: The AI Solution Architect’s Toolkit
• 7:15 PM: Open Floor: "Bring Your Problem" – Group brainstorming on specific member challenges
• 8:00 PM: Wrap up

📍 Location: Hughes Main Library, Meeting Room A, Greenville

📅 Date: December 8 @ 6pm

Come learn how to build solutions that don’t just work, but scale.
