🎤 Talks

Talk:
ML Platform: from custom solution to enterprise maturity
Speaker: Elena Vilkova - Product Owner of ML Platform @ ABN AMRO
ABN AMRO central ML & AI team will explain main benefits and pitfalls of enabling MLOPS capabilities centrally. We will share the journey of ML platform maturity through recent 5 years. Our team went through many challenges of balancing engineering development lifecycle with ML model lifecycle and found a unified solution that we are ready to share with you during the session.

Demo:
Building Your First RAG locally with Llama 3, Milvus and friends
Speaker: Stephen Batifol - Developer Advocate @ Zilliz
With the rise of Open-Source LLMs like Llama, Mistral, Gemma, and more, it has become apparent that LLMs might also be useful even when run locally. In this talk, we will see how to deploy a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) setup using Llama 3, with Milvus as the vector database on your laptop. That way, you can also avoid being Rate Limited by OpenAI like I have been in the past.
