The Lineup for the evening

**Talk 1:** Multi-agent Systems with Mistral AI, Milvus and Llama-agents
**Abstract**: Agentic systems are on the rise, helping developers create intelligent, autonomous systems. LLMs are becoming more and more capable of following diverse sets of instructions, making them ideal for managing these agents. This advancement opens up numerous possibilities for handling complex tasks with minimal human intervention in so many areas. In this talk, we will see how to build agents using llama-agents. We’ll also explore how combining different LLMs can enable various actions. For simpler tasks, we'll use Mistral Nemo, a smaller and more cost-effective model, and Mistral Large for orchestrating different agents.
**Speaker: Stephen Batifol**
Stephen is a Developer Advocate at Zilliz. He previously worked as a Machine Learning Engineer at Wolt, where he created and worked on the ML Platform, and previously as a Data Scientist at Brevo. Stephen studied Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence.
He is a founding member of the MLOps.community Berlin group, where he organizes Meetups and hackathons. He enjoys boxing and surfing.

**Talk 2:** Bayes by Hand
**Abstract**: Discover how powerful Bayesian modelling can be with a pen and paper, or even in your head! Or - Bayes, the good bits! The focus is on Bayes as a thinking tool, rather than on code and algorithms. Think eliciting and updating priors, updating estimates rigorously with incoming data, etc. This approach reacts to the need for more disciplined estimation in business contexts, while wanting to include non-stats and non-dev stakeholders in the process.

Bayes By Hand can be used for sketching out baselines, cross-disciplinary collaborations, improved decision making, and more. Let's get back to the blackboard my friends, and do some modelling by hand!
**Speaker:** **Laura Summers**
Laura is a very technical designer™️. She's the founder of Debias AI, (debias.ai) and the human behind Sweet Summer Child Score (summerchild.dev), Ethics Litmus Tests (ethical-litmus.site), fairXiv (fairxiv.org), the Melbourne Fair ML reading group (groups.io/g/fair-ml). Laura is passionate about feminism, digital rights and designing for privacy. She speaks, writes and runs workshops at the intersection of design and technology.

**Lightning talks**
There will be slots for 2-3 Lightning Talks (3-5 Minutes for each).
Kindly let us know if you would like to present something at the start of the meetup :)
