Description:
Welcome to the monthly in-person AI meetup in San Francisco. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and machine learning, food/drink, networking with speakers and fellow developers.Tech Talk: Deploying LLMs and SLMs locally on consumer hardware
Speaker: Cooper Lindsey (Knap)
Abstract: As companies and consumers become more aware of the high token and data security costs of cloud based LLMs, many are turning to locally deployed LLMs (and Small Language Models or SLMs) for specific tasks. I will be talking through our efforts to vectorize data locally on M-Series Macs, which LLMs work best, and how to configure RAG in this context for local LLMs.Tech Talk: How AI can save email
Speaker: Michael Vandi (Addy AI), Spatika Ganesh (Addy AI)
Abstract: In this talk, we will be talking about how hyper-personalized LLMs, finetuned for specific organizational workflow have the potential to automate the bulk of email tasks, resulting in high productivity and efficiency gains. We also showcase how Addy AI enhances user experience by offering multiple trained assistants tailored by the user, to assist with performing diverse tasks encountered throughout the day. Additionally, we will also be covering how by implementing RAG, we are able to provide user’s more control over their AI assistants’ responses.Tech Talk: Customizable RAG workflows with your own Data
Speaker: Christy Bergman (Zilliz)
Abstract: You’ve heard good data matters in Machine Learning, but does it matter for Generative AI applications? Corporate data often differs significantly from the general internet data used to train most foundation models. Join me for a demo on building a customizable RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) stack using Milvus vector database, LangChain, Ollama with Llama 3, Ragas RAG eval, and optional Zilliz cloud, Anthropic, OpenAI.Speakers/Topics:
