FAQs

Who’s this event for? For anyone wanting to learn more about the way that AI and LLMs are shaping the world. What’s an LLM? A large language model (LLM) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that uses deep learning techniques and massive data sets to understand, summarise, generate and predict new content. LLMs power chat apps like ChatGPT, but also they are increasingly underlying almost every aspect of AI. Is the venue accessible? Absolutely! There is a lift that takes you up to Level 4 where SurrealDB Social is held. What's a SurrealDB event like? Check out photos from our previous events at https://surrealdb.gallery. Who are SurrealDB? SurrealDB is a modern cloud-native multi-model database that allows users and developers to focus on building their applications rather than architecting and managing their infrastructure with features like SurrealQL, Live Queries, Search, Change Data Capture, and ML.
