Powering On-Prem GenAI: From Infrastructure to Impact

Generative AI is revolutionizing finance, but integrating it while maintaining full control over data, security, and infrastructure remains a challenge. Adyen tackled this by building a fully on-premise GenAI platform using open-source technologies instead of third-party cloud solutions.

In this session, we’ll explore the architecture, design choices, and trade-offs behind this approach. A hands-on demonstration will showcase how to develop a GenAI-powered application using LangChain, providing a practical guide to structuring and building secure AI-driven financial solutions. Join us to see how on-premise GenAI can drive innovation!

Key Takeaways:

• Explore how financial institutions can integrate GenAI while maintaining full control over data, infrastructure, and security.
