Building AI Together - San Francisco

Our panel discussion will feature industry leaders, including Ketan Umare, founder of Union.ai and creator of Flyte, the popular open source AI orchestrator. He'll share his unique insights on the critical architectural decisions, operational best practices, and tooling required to take AI projects from experiment to production.

Before and after the discussion, connect with fellow platform engineers, MLOps practitioners, and technical leaders who are solving these exact problems. This is your chance to meet peers who are navigating the same technical and strategic hurdles of putting AI in production as you.

You’ll leave with actionable insights and a stronger network of AI builders. Topics will include:

• Bringing AI projects from experiment to production
• The MLOps blueprint for CI/CD in machine learning
• How AI Agents are changing the game for infrastructure and workflow management
• Building reliable, scalable, and cost-effective AI infrastructure
• Best practices for model training, versioning, and deployment workflows

Don't just listen. Learn and connect.

10. The Future of LLMs and LLMOps

Book Description
Here's the thing about large language models: they don't play by the old rules. Traditional MLOps completely falls apart when you're dealing with GenAI. The model hallucinates, security assumptions crumble, monitoring breaks, and agents can't operate. Suddenly you're in uncharted territory. That's exactly why LLMOps has emerged as its own discipline.
LLMOps: Managing Large Language Models in Production is your guide to actually running these systems when real users and real money are on the line. This book isn't about building cool demos. It's about keeping LLM systems running smoothly in the real world.

• Navigate the new roles and processes that LLM operations require
• Monitor LLM performance when traditional metrics don't tell the whole story
• Set up evaluations, governance, and security audits that actually matter for GenAI
• Wrangle the operational mess of agents, RAG systems, and evolving prompts
• Scale infrastructure without burning through your compute budget

Title: Deep Learning for Biology
Authors: Charles Ravarani, Natasha Latysheva
Published: July 2025

https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/deep-learning-for/9781098168025/

Chapters:
1. Introduction
2. Learning the Language of Proteins
3. Learning the Logic of DNA
4. Understanding Drug–Drug Interactions Using Graphs
5. Detecting Skin Cancer in Medical Images
6. Learning Spatial Organization Patterns Within Cells
7. Tips and Tricks for Deep Learning in Biology

Book Description
Bridge the gap between modern machine learning and real-world biology with this practical, project-driven guide. Whether your background is in biology, software engineering, or data science, Deep Learning for Biology gives you the tools to develop deep learning models for tackling a wide range of biological problems.
Authors Charles Ravarani and Natasha Latysheva guide you through hands-on projects applying deep learning to domains like DNA, proteins, biological networks, medical images, and microscopy. Each chapter is a self-contained mini-project, with step-by-step explanations that teach you how to train and interpret deep learning models using real biological data.

• Build models for real-world biological problems such as gene regulation, protein function prediction, drug interactions, and cancer detection
• Apply architectures like convolutional neural networks, transformers, graph neural networks, and autoencoders
• Use Python and interactive notebooks for hands-on learning
• Build problem-solving intuition that generalizes beyond biology

Whether you’re exploring new methods, transitioning into computational biology, or looking to make sense of machine learning in your field, this book offers a clear and approachable path forward.
