About the evening

AI solution design in an LLM world by Mirza Rahim Baig

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. https://www.linkedin.com/in/rahim-baig/

Beyond Vanilla RAG - Advanced RAG Strategies by Stephen Batifol from Zilliz

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. https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-batifol/

About the evening

Building an LLM agent to chat with the Berlin Parliament by Stephen Batifol (Zilliz) 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.

Improving the Usefulness of LLMs with RAG by Kristian Aune (Vespa) 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can give useful answers to many questions, but there are also well-known issues with their output: The responses may be outdated, inaccurate, or outright hallucinations.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.

Boosting Automation - An AI Engineer’s Open Source Toolbox by Thomas Kranzkowski (CLOUDETEER) The world of data technologies and AI is moving faster and faster, which means that the profile of an AI engineer is constantly changing. Find out which open-source tools and skills you need to keep up with the times in this talk.
