These models are designed to add a higher level of automation and intelligence to different ITOps processes.</p><p>One example is a GenAI-powered conversational assistant that leverages information from Lenovo’s internal knowledge base and technical documentation. Users can pose common troubleshooting questions to the model, which retrieves relevant information and summarizes it in response—saving valuable time and effort.</p><p>Additionally, xSpark assists with incident detection and resolution. By combining and analyzing data from multiple sources, it can quickly identify the root cause of what’s not working, locate the issue and suggest solutions for rapid remediation.</p><p>Yet another model supports job scheduling, while another generates new code from users’ natural-language prompts. GenAI can also automatically handle routine system checks and incident detection, presenting a summary of that work to engineers.</p><p><strong><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-28065 lazyload" data-src="https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/ai-pillars_ssg_ww_en-e1715693288175-1024x372.png" alt="SSG AI Pillars graphic: Security, People, Technology, Processes" width="1024" height="372" data-srcset="https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/ai-pillars_ssg_ww_en-e1715693288175-1024x372.png 1024w, https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/ai-pillars_ssg_ww_en-e1715693288175-600x218.png 600w, https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/ai-pillars_ssg_ww_en-e1715693288175-768x279.png 768w, https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/ai-pillars_ssg_ww_en-e1715693288175-1536x558.png 1536w, https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/ai-pillars_ssg_ww_en-e1715693288175.png 2048w" data-sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" style="--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024/372;" /><noscript><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-28065" src="https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/ai-pillars_ssg_ww_en-e1715693288175-1024x372.png" alt="SSG AI Pillars graphic: Security, People, Technology, Processes" width="1024" height="372" srcset="https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/ai-pillars_ssg_ww_en-e1715693288175-1024x372.png 1024w, https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/ai-pillars_ssg_ww_en-e1715693288175-600x218.png 600w, https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/ai-pillars_ssg_ww_en-e1715693288175-768x279.png 768w, https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/ai-pillars_ssg_ww_en-e1715693288175-1536x558.png 1536w, https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/ai-pillars_ssg_ww_en-e1715693288175.png 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></noscript></strong></p><p><strong>Four Pillars of AI Readiness </strong></p><p><em><strong>Pillar 1: Security </strong></em></p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">Prioritized the use of open-source LLMs that can be deployed on Lenovo’s private cloud.</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">Applied rigorous safeguards around model training and prompt engineering to minimize the potential for AI to produce incorrect information or highlight sensitive content.</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">Integrated specific models with Lenovo’s enterprise permission management system. This ensures that when a model triggers automation tasks, it does so securely and with proper authentication.</p><p><em><strong>Pillar 2: People</strong></em></p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">For Lenovo, AI isn’t solely about creating algorithms—it’s also about ensuring people are empowered with the knowledge and skills needed to use these new tools effectively. According to Liu Tong, Manager, AI Insight at Lenovo: “We are positioning xSpark as a co-pilot for IT operations that is available to help people perform their work more efficiently and with better quality.”</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">To drive uptake, Lenovo formed dedicated teams help to promote AI within the company.</p><p><em><strong>Pillar 3: Technology</strong></em></p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">Opted for a mix of open-source and commercial LLMs from different third-party providers. Model selection is based on multiple factors, including suitability for the underlying use case, security and compliance requirements, and computational resource consumption.</p><p><em><strong>Pillar 4: Processes </strong></em></p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">Used internal knowledge and documentation to enhance AI-generated advisory features, allowing them to deliver more relevant, useful responses.</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">Followed a lifecycle management approach that spans from model design and development to testing, operation, and updates. This ensures stable output and continuous improvement of LLMs.</p><p><strong> Building up GenAI Capabilities</strong></p><p>The Global Infrastructure and China Hybrid Cloud Services team followed a rigorous approach, starting with identifying the most valuable opportunities for GenAI within ITOps. The next step was to select the optimal LLMs available on the market for each use case, performing testing and debugging before refining model prompts and parameters.</p><p>Through this process, the team established three core categories of LLM, which form the basis of the xSpark solution.</p><p>Lin Qiyu elaborates: “The simplest model type is called the ‘taker’, which can be used right out of the box. Next up, the ‘shaper’ model is refined with our own data and optimized for specific ITOps tasks. With final category of model, the “maker”, we build on top of an open-source LLM, adding significantly enhanced capabilities.”</p><h3><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-26158 lazyload" data-src="https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/HallwayReflection_G1092342314-1024x684.jpg" alt="brand image - person walking down a hallway with a device, looking through window at manufacturing equipment" width="1024" height="684" data-srcset="https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/HallwayReflection_G1092342314-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/HallwayReflection_G1092342314-600x401.jpg 600w, https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/HallwayReflection_G1092342314-768x513.jpg 768w, https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/HallwayReflection_G1092342314-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/HallwayReflection_G1092342314-scaled.jpg 2048w, https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/HallwayReflection_G1092342314-450x300.jpg 450w" data-sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" style="--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024/684;" /><noscript><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-26158" src="https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/HallwayReflection_G1092342314-1024x684.jpg" alt="brand image - person walking down a hallway with a device, looking through window at manufacturing equipment" width="1024" height="684" srcset="https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/HallwayReflection_G1092342314-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/HallwayReflection_G1092342314-600x401.jpg 600w, https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/HallwayReflection_G1092342314-768x513.jpg 768w, https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/HallwayReflection_G1092342314-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/HallwayReflection_G1092342314-scaled.jpg 2048w, https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/HallwayReflection_G1092342314-450x300.jpg 450w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></noscript></strong></span></h3><h3><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Result: Double-Digit Efficiency Gains</strong></span></h3><p>Embracing GenAI to assist with and automate more parts of the ITOps workflow is saving valuable time and effort. In specific areas, like script generation, GenAI-assisted coding has lifted efficiency by 11%. More broadly, Lenovo IT estimates that it has seen efficiency improvements of around 22% across a range of tasks since introducing xSpark.</p><p>With GenAI shouldering a greater burden of lower-level, repetitive work, it also frees up human talent to focus on more complex and creative tasks.<strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Faster Incident Detection and Resolution</strong></p><p>GenAI also empowers us to separate signal from noise when it comes to IT incidents. By harnessing LLMs to automatically sort through huge amounts of data, we can rapidly detect and isolate incidents that are causing problems.</p><p>“We’ve sped up root cause analysis by more than 18% on average,” confirms Lin Qiyu. “We’re now working to bring down our mean time to repair [MTTR] too. We believe this can be reduced by at least 5%.”</p><p>These improvements are helping Lenovo IT to maintain very high standards when it comes to incident management. With help from LLMs, the team will be able to use proactive monitoring to achieve 100% observability and act on potential problems before they have the chance to cause end-user impacts.</p><p><strong>Smaller Operations Workloads, Stronger Fundamentals</strong></p><p>To date, xSpark has helped reduce operations workloads by more than 10%.
