A startup is developing a real-time object detection system for autonomous drones. The model must run on the drone's onboard computer, which has limited GPU power. The team plans to train the model on a large dataset. The startup has a limited budget and wants to minimize cloud costs. What is the most effective strategy for managing hardware resources?

Use a smaller dataset to reduce training time and cost, and accept lower model accuracy.

Purchase a high-end GPU server for the office and use it for both training and simulation of the drone's environment.

Train the model on cloud GPU instances, then optimize and compress the model for deployment on the drone's hardware.

Train the model directly on the drone's onboard computer to avoid cloud costs.

An organization is planning an AI project that requires specialized expertise in natural language processing. The internal team has experience in traditional software development but no NLP specialists. What is the most appropriate action to address this gap?

Assign the project to the existing team regardless

Hire an NLP consultant or contractor

After a vendor is selected for an AI project, what is the next step in the procurement process?

Evaluate the vendor's performance
