Welcome to the GenAI and LLMs meetup in Berlin, in collaboration with Thoughtworks. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and machine learning, networking with speakers and fellow developers.

Agenda: * 6:00pm\~7:00pm: Checkin and networking * 7:00pm\~9:00pm: Tech talks and Q&A * 9:00pm: Open discussion and Mixer

Tech Talk: Specializing Small Language Models With Less Data Speaker: Jacek Golebiowski (Distil Labs) Abstract: The latency of LLMs is a crucial factor when building multi-agent systems. Implementing small, specialized language models is an option, but it is not often leveraged because it requires gathering high volumes of human-labeled training data. To alleviate this problem, I will discuss how large language models can generate synthetic data to help tune small models on domain-specific tasks.

Tech Talk: Evaluation principles for NLP engines Speaker: Oren Matar Abstract: As NLP models become increasingly prevalent in modern applications, the industry faces a critical challenge: how can we effectively evaluate the limitations of black-box NLP systems? This session introduces a model-agnostic evaluation paradigm that automatically generates test datasets enriched with labeled linguistic challenges for each example. These labels enable precise analysis of failure cases, uncovering critical flaws and actionable insights. We will also present the development of a performance dashboard that visualizes engine capabilities, fostering better collaboration between data science and product teams.

Tech Talk: AI solution design in an LLM world Speaker: Mirza Rahim Baig (Zalando) Abstract: Are you using LLMs where a simple string match would work? Using multiple agents unnecessarily? Or are you using 4x the tokens you actually need. Identify all the decisions we need to make in designing a solution and learn how to make those decisions. Get some pro-tips in designing LLM based solutions. We start with a poorly created solution and the audience interactively and successively improves the solution.

Tech Talk: Beyond Vanilla RAG - Advanced RAG Strategies Speaker: Stephen Batifol (Zilliz) Abstract: In this talk, we'll explore how we can have Advanced RAG, the key components and innovative strategies. We'll cover how we can divide & conquer complex problems, and how query enhancement can help with query precision. We'll also look at different how we can use different retrievers. We'll touch on Routing, Memory, Planning to create Agentic Strategies.

Tech Talk: Building an LLM agent to chat with the Berlin Parliament Speaker: Stephen Batifol (Zilliz) Abstract: Lot of things are happening in the Berlin Parliament and you might not be aware of it. By using LLMs and a Vector DB, I'll show you how you can chat and interact with the data of the Berlin Parliament.

Tech Talk: Improving the Usefulness of LLMs with RAG Speaker: Kristian Aune (Vespa) Abstract: LLMs like GPT can give useful answers to many questions, but there are also well-known issues with their output: The responses may be outdated, inaccurate, or outright hallucinations. And they don’t know anything about you or your organization private data (we hope). RAG can help reduce the problems with “hallucinated” answers, and make the responses more up-to-date, accurate, and personalized - by injecting related knowledge, including non-public data. In this talk, we’ll go through what RAG means, demo some ways you can implement it - and warn of some traps you still have to watch out for.

Tech Talk: Boosting Automation - An AI Engineer’s Open Source Toolbox Speaker: Thomas Kranzkowski (CLOUDETEER) Abstract: TBD
