12th PyData Lisbon Meetup

Heya everyone,

We rebooted PyData Lisbon last October with an amazing kickoff session, and we’re happy to announce that the next one is just around the corner! This time we’re having a presentation and a round table with some amazing speakers as well as the usual pizza, drinks, and networking. Check the details below 👇

Mastering Python Projects with Poetry - Vitor Manita
Dive into Poetry and its synergistic usage with Pyenv, two useful tools in the Python ecosystem for managing virtual environments and dependencies. This session by Vítor is designed to provide an understanding of how to effectively utilize Poetry for robust dependency management and project configuration, alongside Pyenv for precise Python version control. This tutorial is ideal for developers looking to enhance their proficiency in a Python project setup and for those seeking to ensure consistency, reproducibility, and efficiency in their projects.

LLMs in Production aka LLMOps - Round table
Reflecting on a year of experimentation with Large Language Models (LLMs), we ponder: What have we learned about using LLMs in production? As we explore this, let’s consider the trade-offs between self-hosting and relying on APIs. What are the pros and cons regarding cost, latency, privacy, and other critical factors? Moreover, let’s dive into the current state of the art for tracking and monitoring LLM systems. We're having an amazing panel to dive into these questions and more, bringing unique perspectives from a variety of sectors - a Cloud Provider, a Startup, a Scale-up, and a Consultancy:

• João Galego, Solutions Architect at AWS
• Jorge Pessoa, Head of Engineering at Ntropy
• Miguel Vera, DL Engineer at Unbabel
• Vítor Manita, ML Engineer at Loka
