The hybrid cloud model is key to unlocking the full potential of generative AI, according to Enric Delgado, director of the IBM Customer Engineering Team in Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Israel. Delgado said that opting for smaller AI models allows for faster processing, reduced resource consumption, and easier data integration, boosting overall AI innovation.
Delgado emphasized that smaller models, like concentrated perfumes, can be highly effective even with less data. He stressed that the rapid pace of change presents a significant challenge for companies.His recommendation: choose an open cloud provider, such as IBM Cloud, to quickly absorb and implement new innovations.

Marc Jordana, digital leader, and David Castellà, AI expert at Softten Data, also spoke. They detailed how an AI agent connected to Microsoft Fabric can analyze business data, derive insights, and facilitate agile, intelligent decision-making, even through automation. Castellà advised adopting AI from an evolutionary perspective, integrating it as a partner to handle routine tasks.
Opting an open Cloud provider so that all innovations can be absorbed rapidly. And This is IBM Cloud.
What’s next
Enterprises are expected to increasingly adopt hybrid cloud strategies to leverage the benefits of both public and private cloud environments for AI and other workloads. This approach allows for greater flexibility,scalability,and cost optimization,driving further innovation in various industries.
