AI Meetup (July): GenAI, LLMs and ML

** Important RSVP here (Due to room capacity and building security, you must pre-register at the link for admission)

Description:
Welcome to our in-person AI meetup in New York. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and ML, hands-on workshops, food/drink, networking with speakers and fellow developers.

Tech Talk: Using Generative AI and Diffusers with Cloudera Machine Learning (CML) and Posit
Speaker: Kenton Davis (Cloudera), Rika Gorn (Posit)
Abstract: In this session, we will explore the architecture of Diffusers models and discuss components such as VAE and UNet. An example will be presented of how to combine text-to-image and image-to-image into one data pipeline with the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP). Specific emphasis will be placed on using ControlNet, PyTorch, and metadata persistence within CDP for editing images.

Tech Talk: Next-Gen AI for Developers
Speaker: Allen Firstenberg (Objective)
Abstract: In this session, we'll learn how developers of all skill levels can use the Gemini API to build cutting-edge AI applications, regardless of programming language. Discover how to leverage Gemini's unique features for responsible AI, Google Search integration, custom data grounding, and more and the benefits and trade-offs for each model.

Tech Talk: Testing LLMs in web applications
Speaker: Haldun Anil (Braze)
Abstract: In this talk I will go over how I think about testing applications that integrate LLMs. I will go over what the challenges of writing such applications are and go over a few tools that are out there to overcome these challenges.
