This session is specifically designed for developers who are keen to explore Generative AI (GenAI) using Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform. My aim is to provide practical, step-by-step guidance on constructing and prototyping complete GenAI applications, covering everything from initial concept to deployment.
The key learning points for participants will encompass:
A comprehensive understanding of the core components of Vertex AI for GenAI and practical methods for integrating Gemini models into their applications.
Proficiency in prompt design principles and strategies necessary to achieve optimal responses from GenAI models and ready them for deployment.
The ability to leverage Google Cloud tools like Colab and BigQuery to significantly enhance GenAI development workflows and construct efficient, scalable applications.
5:30 PM: š Speaker Santosh Kumar Perumal: Understanding AI: From Traditional Models to the Latest in Generative AI on Google Cloud.
In this session, Iāll walk through ML and Generative AI, highlighting models like Gemini, Imagen, Chirp, and Veo.
Weāll also revisit foundational models like BERT. Iāll share how Google Cloud enables developers to build and deploy these models effectively.
6:30 PM: š ļø Speaker Arpita Sarker : From Research to Reality: Building Forkit Dev with LLMs, Blockchain & Decentralized""
This talk explores how deep research in privacy-preserving AI led to the creation of Forkit Dev, a decentralized platform for collaborative large language model (LLM) development.
By integrating technologies like Matrix, IOTA, and IPFS, and built on Google Cloud with support from the Google for Startups Cloud Program, Forkit Dev offers a secure, trust-driven ecosystem for AI innovation.
