This Event is designed for AI engineers, developers, and working professionals who want to understand the evolving AI model landscape and make informed decisions when building real-world AI applications.

## Agenda

• Welcome & Introduction to Indian Data Club
• A brief introduction to the community, our mission, recent initiatives, and upcoming opportunities to learn, connect, and grow.
• Icebreaker Activity
• A short interactive activity to help participants connect with fellow professionals and share their experiences with different AI models.
• Speaker Session 1
• Topic: Model Capability vs Utilisation
• Speaker: Harsha Vardhan, Experience Designer @ JPMorganChase
• About the session:
• Two people use the same AI Model. One gets sharp, useful answers; the other gets generic replies that miss the point. What's the difference? This session explores the overlooked skill behind great AI results
• Speaker Session 2
• Topic: Evaluate voice models beyond the benchmarks
• Speaker: Gaurav Singh, SDE2 @ Murf AI
• About the session:
• Voice models may sound impressive in demos but face real-world challenges in production. Evaluate latency, naturalness, multilingual robustness, and inference costs beyond benchmark scores. Explore practical evaluation frameworks to identify trade offs, uncover failure modes, and choose the right model
• Tea Break
• Enjoy refreshments and connect with fellow attendees before the next session.
• Speaker Session 3
• Topic: Frontier vs Specialist AI Models
• Speaker: Ramana Kumar, Software Engineer @ Silicon Labs
• About the session:
• Specialist AI models excel at specific tasks, while frontier models like GPT, Gemini, and Claude offer broader capabilities. Compare both across accuracy, cost, speed, and privacy on real world tasks. Discover where each performs best and learn how to choose the right model for your project.
• Closing Remarks & Open Networking
• Wrap up the session with key takeaways.

## What You'll Take Away

• Why AI sometimes gives confident answers that miss what you meant.
• How the way we talk to AI quietly shapes what we get back.
• Understand how to identify model trade offs and choose the right voice model for your application's real-world needs..
• An approach you can apply the very next day, on any AI tool.
• Learn how to evaluate voice models based on latency, naturalness, multilingual performance, and inference costs.
• Opportunities to connect with professionals across the AI and data community.
