GenAI continues to promise industry transformation, but the challenge now lies in moving from hype to real-world, large-scale, efficient, and productive applications.
In this session, we will explore how MercadoLibre, the largest company in LATAM, has successfully leveraged its platform engineering approach to create a GenAI development platform that empowers every collaborator across the organization. This platform integrates multi-provider LLM gateways, prompt engineering, embeddings as a service, vector DBs, multi-modal traditional databases, agentic solutions, RAG, AI-powered assistants, and more, enabling the development and deployment of GenAI applications at scale.
