THE AI ANGLE
Generating nightly retail inventory recommendations

Walmart Global Tech deployed a multi-agent LLM workflow across 4,700 stores to run nightly batch inventory forecasting. The system combines real-time data like weather with historical demand models to send direct stocking recommendations to store managers. Switching from provisioned throughput to pay-as-you-go cloud inference reduced operational costs from over $100,000 to $10,000 per month.
