SAP BTP integrates cutting-edge AI solutions like SAP Core AI, SAP AI Launchpad, and SAP AI Business Services to streamline AI lifecycle management, enhance business efficiency, and enable organizations to unlock new value through intelligent automation and predictive analysis.

1. AI in SAP BTP.

“Powered by generative AI, SAP BTP streamlines data management, automates processes, drive innovation, and boosts developer productivity, enabling your teams to achieve more. With easy access to a comprehensive range of large language models (LLMs), you can develop custom AI solutions tailored to your business needs.”

2. SAP Core AI

” SAP AI Core is a service in the SAP Business Technology Platform that is designed to handle the execution and operations of your AI assets in a standardized, scalable, and hyperscaler-agnostic way. It provides seamless integration with your SAP solutions.
Any AI function can be easily realized using open-source frameworks. SAP AI Core supports full lifecycle management of AI scenarios. Access generative AI capabilities and prompt lifecycle management via the generative AI hub.

Environment

This service runs in the following environments:

Cloud Foundry
Kyma
Kubernetes

Multitenancy

This service supports multitenancy. It can be used in tenant-aware applications.

Features

• Execute pipelines

Execute pipelines as a batch job, for example, to preprocess or train your models, or perform batch inference.

• Serve inference requests

Deploy а trained machine learning model as a Web service to serve inference requests of trained models with high performance.

• Manage the AI scenario lifecycle

Manage your ML artifacts and workflows, such as model training, metrics tracking, data, models, and model deployments via a uniform API lifecycle.

• Benefit from multitenancy support

Use this service in tenant-aware applications. Implement multi-tenant services to segregate your AI assets and executions to isolate your tenants within SAP AI Core.

• Integrate your cloud infrastructure

Register your Docker registry, synchronize your AI content from your git repository, and register your object store for training data and trained models. Productize your AI content and expose it as a service to consumers in the SAP BTP marketplace.

• Generative AI hub

Choose from a selection of generative AI models for prompt experimentation, and prompt lifecycle management.”

3. SAP AI Launchpad

” SAP AI Launchpad is a multitenant software as a service (SaaS) application on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP).
Customers and partners can use SAP AI Launchpad to manage AI use cases (scenarios) across multiple instances of AI runtimes (such as SAP AI Core).
SAP AI Launchpad also provides generative AI capabilities via the Generative AI Hub.

SAP AI Core provides an engine that lets you run AI workflows and model serving workloads.
SAP AI Launchpad manages a number of AI runtimes. It allows various user groups to access and manage their AI scenarios.
AI API provides a standard way of managing the AI scenario lifecycle on different runtimes, regardless of whether they are provided on SAP technology (such as SAP S/4HANA) or on partner technology (such as Amazon Web Services). When the AI API is deployed on runtimes other than SAP AI Core, the runtimes have to provide a runtime adapter.

Environment

This service is available in the SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry environment.

Features

Integrate with AI runtime instances
Add connections to one or more AI runtime instances and switch between them to carry out further actions.

Work with resource groups of SAP AI Core

Access your resource groups from your SAP AI Core runtime and perform actions only on the AI assets that they contain (for example, models, executions, and deployments).

Manage the lifecycle of Gen AI prompts

Access the Generative AI Hub and manage the lifecycle of your prompts. The Generative AI Hub includes prompt experimentation, prompt lifecycle management, and administrative tools.

Manage the lifecycle of AI use cases

Explore and manage the lifecycle of all your AI use cases. The lifecycle includes training and deploying AI models to generate endpoints for online predictions

Access statistics on your use cases

View statistics about your AI use cases (scenarios) and how they are consumed. By analyzing these statistics, you can better estimate your computing needs for your AI runtimes.

Manage administration for SAP AI Core

Manage administration tasks for your SAP AI Core runtime, such as the authentications required in your AI workflows.”
