Silicon Dojo - Research Triangle

WE'RE AT THE NEW LOCATION!!!

NOTE: Our classes are for any one of any level who is interested in the subject.

"They" say that RAG is DEAD! "They" also need to justify a trillion dollars in Cap Ex...

RAG or Retrieval Augmented Generation is the system used to provide your "AI" with a knowledge base so that it can answer questions specific to your organization. You can add all of your documents and files and when someone asks your AI a question the RAG system will find specific information from the files that pertains to your question and sends that data with your query to the LLM.

This process uses something called a Vector Database, which is technically more complicated than SQL, but from a practical sense isn't overly complicated to setup and run.

We'll discuss RAG, Vector Databases, Symantec Searching, Embeddings and how all of this is used to create a system that is actually useful.

This class will go over:

• RAG
• Vector Databases
• Embeddings
• Symantec Searches
• Chunking Data
• RAG on SQLite
• and more...

Note 2: We don't have any food/ drink sponsors so please eat beforehand, or... bring enough for the class!

Note 3: This will be at American Underground after normal hours. I will send out the key code to get into the building before the class so make sure to look in your email for the code before you come. I will be in the classroom by 5pm. Please feel free to come early to talk or setup your computer.

WE'RE AT THE NEW LOCATION!!!

NOTE: Our classes are for any one of any level who is interested in the subject.

You've had a wild life being a digital nomad partying on the beaches of Bali at night, and coding in cafes during the day, but you have a new baby "AI" and they need stability to ensure they don't grow up to become a Skynet. It's time to settle down and figure out your Architecture...

You do know technology professionals don't really get paid to "write code"? There's a lot more to it...

Systems Architecture is the infrastructure used to house your systems so that they can provide your solutions in a reliable, resilient and resource effective way. You need to think about user interfaces and latency, record stores, data stores, how services such as LLM will be accessed and what happens if you get hacked, hit with a biblical flood, or someone trips over a network cable...

We'll discuss Architecture and the systems required to build out your AI infrastructure. We'll discuss public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud designs. You'll learn about SaaS siblings PaaS, IaaS and MaaS.

We'll talk about SoA vs. Client Server Architecture and why Microservices matter.

This will be a class of words, and diagrams on the white board. Or, what we actually get paid for!

This class will go over:

• What is Systems Architecture
• Cloud Computing
• Networking and Latency
• Architecture Styles
• Data Bases
• File Stores
• Azure vs AWS vs DigitalOcean
• All the aaS's
• Proxy Servers and Reverse Proxy Servers
• Caching Systems
• Disaster Recovery and Resiliency
• and more...
