Introduction to the Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) Platform

For ordinary businesses, developing large models requires not only powerful computing capabilities but also specialized knowledge of training, deployment, and parameter configuration. ModelArts Studio, the Model-as-a-Service platform (referred to as MaaS), is a customer-oriented platform that provides a user-friendly model development toolchain. It supports custom development of large models, seamlessly integrating model applications with business systems, significantly reducing the cost and difficulty of implementing AI in enterprises.

• Integration of leading open source large models

  MaaS integrates leading open-source models, including DeepSeek. All models are fully adapted and optimized for Ascend AI Cloud Service, resulting in improved accuracy and performance. You no longer need to build models from scratch; instead, you can simply choose suitable pre-trained models for direct application, reducing the workloads of model integration.

• Accessible resources, pay-per-use billing, scalability, fault recovery, and resumable training

  When enterprises integrate large models into their application systems, they need to consider not only the model experience but also the specific accuracy and cost of the model in practical applications.

  MaaS provides flexible model development capabilities and, based on the computing capabilities of Ascend Cloud, offers several key capabilities to ensure the efficient use of large models in customer business applications.

  It provides a flexible cost-effective resource allocation plan with pay-per-use billing and scalability, effectively avoiding resource idle time and waste, and reducing the barriers to entry into the AI field.

  The architecture emphasizes high availability, with multiple data center deployments ensuring data and task backups. Even in the event of a failure, it seamlessly switches to a standby system, ensuring uninterrupted model training and protecting long-term projects from time and resource losses, thereby ensuring progress and returns.

• Large model application development, helping developers build intelligent agents quickly

  In enterprises, complex tasks at the project level often require understanding the task, breaking it down into multiple questions for decision-making, and then calling multiple subsystems to execute. MaaS, leveraging high-quality Ascend Cloud open-source models, offers premium prompt templates. This enables accurate understanding of business intent, task decomposition, and the development of multiple intelligent agents, helping enterprises quickly and intelligently build and deploy LLM-powered applications.
