Zapata AI Sense™ and generative AI engineering
innovation are key elements to the companies’ efforts for Andretti
to win more races in their third NTT INDYCAR SERIES season
together
Zapata Computing, Inc. (“Zapata AI” or the “Company”), the
Industrial Generative AI software company developing solutions and
applications to solve enterprises’ difficult, industrial-scale
problems; and Andretti INDYCAR, a Championship-winning motorsports
organization, today announced plans for their third NTT INDYCAR
SERIES season together as they look to build on last season’s
progress through engineering and technology innovation.
The focal point of their work together this season is applying
Zapata AI’s Industrial Generative AI solutions and expertise to
give the Andretti INDYCAR team a competitive advantage in pursuit
of winning races. Working trackside, in the Race Analytics Command
Center mobile engineering unit, and virtually from their different
locations, the engineering and competition teams plan to use Zapata
AI Sense – running on the Company’s Orquestra® platform – and other
tooling to build an improved technology stack for specific use
cases, including race strategy and data signal generation.
“As we head into our third season working with Zapata AI on our
INDYCAR program, we’re eager to continue using their expertise to
fine-tune the performance on race weekends,” said Michael Andretti,
CEO and Chairman of Andretti Global. “The goal, as it has been
since day one of this relationship, is to work shoulder-to-shoulder
with the Zapata AI team to turn technological innovation for
specific use cases into ‘real’ results on the track.”
Highlights from the 2023 season include:
- Virtual Sensors: The teams leveraged generative AI to
generate real-time, accurate data for a key race variable that
would not have been measurable with physical sensors
otherwise.
- Decision-making: Implementation of Zapata AI’s
Industrial Generative AI solutions was one of the key enabling
technologies for fast predictions to support decision-making using
livestream and historic data.
- Data infrastructure integration and enhancement: The
Zapata AI and Andretti teams explored novel, data-driven
opportunities in these areas.
- Analytic and predictive capabilities (on and off the
race track): These capabilities were enhanced with innovations in
database integration, DevOps tools for live data processing and
monitoring, and generative and general AI model integration. All of
this was enabled by on premise edge computing and adapted to
Andretti's particular needs to stay competitive and push the
envelope in multiple car racing circuits worldwide.
“We are excited to keep learning from Andretti and continue our
joint, tangible progress on resolving the technology challenges we
face,” commented Christopher Savoie, CEO and co-founder of Zapata
AI. “Industrial Generative AI has the potential to enable us to
generate the best possible solutions based on the available data to
optimize critical factors, such as how to keep fuel consumption at
a minimum while sticking to a pitstop strategy and creating
‘virtual’ sensors to predict the slip angle of a car as it corners
at high speeds. And those are only two examples. There are many
more that we’ll be tackling this season and beyond.”
“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.
