AI/ML platform project (subhash)

• Working on dynamic pipeline / platform
• Integration & ES usecase
• Fixed issue with Modelstore reporting 200 when model storage fails (see last week).
  
  • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) & Saul Gill to retest
• R1-AP spec is making progress on model deployment.
  
  • In next release would like to work with John Keeney (Ericsson EST) for rApps
  • Who is the interface consumer? rApp, or rApp Manager? Need to work on the usecase.
    
    • Would the rApp (instance) be able to store it's own packaged model, or alternatively/also ask training service to make model available for modelstore deployment.
    • Currently (needs work)  -rApp has a packaged static model, and an inference service is created with (& has same lifecycle) as the rApp instance. Managed by rAppManager. Need to consider more flexible/useful use cases.
  • Also, in O-RAN use cases, the rApp could be a consumer of training service?
