Wildlife Eye: AI-Powered Conservation at Scale

Valiance Solutions has long been at the forefront of AI innovation, driven by a vision to build a safer, smarter, and more sustainable world. Wildlife Eye, the award-winning solution, exemplifies this mission by harnessing advanced video intelligence to prevent human-wildlife conflicts in real time. This cutting-edge technology acts as a digital guardian, detecting potential threats and enabling timely interventions, ultimately protecting both lives and ecosystems.

Scaling AI with Google Cloud: 11 Billion+ Inferences Per Month

With Google Cloud, Valiance is deploying AI solutions at an unprecedented scale: 🔹 1 billion inferences per month processed in the cloud 🔹 10 billion inferences per month executed at the edge
