Zapata AI Announces Significant Commercial Expansion with Andretti Global - Seite 2

“Every second counts in INDYCAR racing,” said Eric Bretzman, Technical Director at Andretti Global. “The insights we’ve seen with Zapata AI’s solutions allow us to make strategic decisions in planning sessions and on race day, and we can adjust that strategy in real time as the data comes in and race conditions change. Not only are they exposing us to the latest techniques in generative AI, machine learning, and optimization, they’re helping us deploy them trackside in our mobile Race Analytics Command Center in a way that works efficiently with our racing team. It's been powerful to see the Andretti team’s collective decades of racing experience validated and enhanced with the real-time applications we're building together.”

"We’re proud to expand our long-term commitment in support of our strategic partners at Andretti Global, as they maintain their competitive edge on the track, and as they expand their global footprint into future racing series,” said Christopher Savoie, co-founder and CEO of Zapata AI. “The work we’re doing with Andretti is a clear demonstration of the impact Industrial Generative AI can deliver across industries. The same challenges and dynamics Andretti faces in applying generative AI, machine learning, and optimization to vast amounts of streaming, real-time data, in a dynamic environment, can be found in many other industries — from telecom to advanced manufacturing, to financial services, to transportation, logistics and defense. Our ongoing work with Andretti, whether it's predicting yellow flags to modeling tire degradation or optimizing car set ups, are perfect analogous use cases in how Zapata AI leverages generative AI to accurately predict the future and enable better decision-making in real-time, even on the edge and in challenging industrial environments.”

Andretti and Zapata AI initially entered into a multi-year partnership in February 2022, including a brand sponsorship and a multi-million-dollar agreement to deploy and leverage Zapata AI’s platform, Orquestra, in search of race day performance advantage driven by advanced analytics and quantum techniques. Specifically, the teams have built and deployed advanced ML models to better understand tire degradation analysis, identify fuel savings opportunities, lap time prediction, and provide yellow flag predictive modeling.
