Foundation models and Generative AI
Foundation Models – Empowering your organization with transformative technology
At Top Data Science, we actively follow and explore ways to apply key developments in the rapidly evolving AI field. Foundation models are models trained on a vast amount of data, giving them the capability to adapt to a broad range of tasks. These models include both text-based LLMs and vision-based models that enable text generation, advanced image processing, and multimodal AI capabilities.
Vision-based foundation models such as the Segment Anything (SA) and Depth Anything (DA) models have enhanced our productivity internally and strengthened our customer solutions externally. For example, a task such as image annotation can now be completed using visual prompts with the SA model, saving time in the overall AI model development. These techniques can also be utilised together to segment a region of interest, followed by the estimation of a depth map, e.g. in the automotive industry to estimate the distances of objects on the road.

Vision-based foundation models also include generative AI models for generating new, original images that have never been seen before. Generative AI for images has numerous applications, such as creating realistic images for virtual and augmented reality and generating high-quality images for advertising and marketing.
Through our service approach, we help organizations and individuals to utilize these techniques by providing deep insights and identifying automation potential. We deliver a clear, business-aligned roadmap with practical steps to unlock their real value.
