Ready to build cutting-edge AI that understands the world through more than just text?
Join our hands-on workshop and learn how to build neural network agents that can see, read, and reason across multiple data types! We’ll explore advanced techniques like data fusion, OCR, and NVIDIA's powerful AI Blueprints to tackle real-world challenges in robotics, healthcare, and beyond.
We'll start with a robotics use case, apply those principles to supercharge Large Language Models (LLMs), and finish by orchestrating a team of models to work together seamlessly.
