Zapata AI and Andretti INDYCAR Gear Up to Apply Industrial Generative AI to Race Day Strategy and Analytics in 2024 - Seite 2

“The Zapata AI team has been an outstanding partner in upgrading our race strategy infrastructure to leverage the latest tools for analytics, data streaming, and generative AI,” said Eric Bretzman, Technical Director at Andretti Global. “Their Orquestra platform has been an ideal environment for managing our data and integrating the most applicable open-source tools available, in addition to benchmarking and testing changes we make to the architecture. We’re looking forward to expanding on these capabilities in our third season together.”

Looking ahead to the 2024 season kicking off with the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on March 10, some of the highest-impact initiatives are expected to include:

• Streaming data and machine learning applications: real-time analytics based on live streaming data can streamline decision-making processes and provide insights that can be immediately acted upon, potentially offering a competitive edge
• Predictive capabilities for lap times, yellow flag occurrences and tire degradation
• Improved virtual sensor simulation with generative AI, with inclusion of more track-related and other static features
• Inclusion of data and model performance monitoring tools for live stream monitoring capabilities.
