Speakers:

1. Leon Coe, AI Strategist at Amplify Intelligence joins us to talk about “Models you may not know (but should): getting GPT-4 performance 10x faster and 25x cheaper“

Conventional wisdom today says that when you’re trying to apply LLMs to a problem simply start with the biggest models like GPT-4, see if you can get it to work, and if you can, then try to get it to work on a smaller model later. This presentation is about how to use smaller, faster, less expensive models to do work that GPT-4 can’t do that will unlock more use cases for using AI in your work. We will do an overview of the top alternative models, compare their performance to GPT-4, and show you a live demo on a project management use case that you can use at work everyday.

2. Wyl Villacres, Head of Customer Success at Tability joins us to talk about “Choosing LLMs and overcoming constraints to build effective AI solutions for real user problems."

The launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT sparked a rush to integrate AI features into SaaS applications. However, many of these features missed the mark in addressing real user needs. In this presentation, Wyl will explore how to effectively use the Jobs to be Done framework for developing meaningful AI features. He'll cover key considerations for selecting the right language models (LLMs) and navigating the constraints of building AI-enabled solutions that genuinely solve user problems.

3. Thomas Been, Chief Marketing Officer at Domino Data Lab, joins us to what’s holding organizations back to adopt AI at a broader scale, and the inspiration they can take from applications.

AI is playing an increasingly significant role in both our personal and professional lives, from the way we learn to the way we write code. Organizations of all types have immense potential to benefit from AI, but they also face common challenges that prevent them from fully realizing those benefits. Thomas will discuss how these challenges can be overcome at the people, process, and technology levels using examples from leading companies in life sciences, financial services, and the public sector. These examples demonstrate how AI is positively impacting customers' and citizens' lives.
