Talk 1
--------
From MLOops to MLOps: LLMs & Stable Diffusion in the Cloud
Alex Payot – AI Engineer at Graphcore

Going from a model “working“ on your machine to a model doing something useful for a customer in production is hard.

In this talk, Alex describes his team’s journey towards making 30 models available in the cloud on Paperspace, ready for users to experiment with and deploy. Expect real accounts of some of the more surprising MLOps challenges they encountered, and hopefully some useful lessons that you won’t have to learn the hard way.

As part of the talk Alex will show how you can use IPUs in Paperspace to run a “voice-to-comic-strip” demo with Whisper, LLMs and Stable Diffusion.

Talk 2
---------
Code Smells in Data Science: What can we do about them?
Laszlo Sragner - Founder @ Hypergolic | Startup Advisor | Productionised Machine Learning | Blog: laszlo.substack.com

We all want to write cleaner code but usually don't know where to start.

Code smells are a taxonomy and a well-defined set of instructions on identifying typical antipatterns in your code and changing them in a few steps.

The first part of the talk will describe what readable code looks like. Then, through a practical example, see how you can transform any code into a readable one.

The second part will introduce a few code smells and their resolution through another short example.Lastly, we will see how to establish a culture and business justification around code quality efforts.

As usual 🍻 and 🍕 and a trip to the pub afterward.

See you all soon!
