🎤 Our Speakers:
Rob Meyer: The Math of AI
AI may seem like a shiny new black box. It's not. AI has been evolving for decades. Once you understand the math of AI, you not only understand how to use AI, you understand what else is still needed.
Learn the math of today's leading LLMs. Then learn about the current limitations, and how the latest trends, including RAG, AI Memory, fine-tuning, open-source models, MCP and more, are helping address them.
Bio: Rob Meyer has over 30 years of experience across engineering and marketing, building integration, API management, data engineering, and AI-powered technologies. After a decade in leadership positions at larger organizations, in 2017 Rob decided to return to his startup roots. For the last few years he has focused on AI and AI-powered tooling.
Dave Ramsey: Why are we using massively expensive overly trained overly hyped LLMs for simple tasks?
More details on Dave's talk coming soon!
