[Virtual] PRO WORKSHOP (AI DevWorld): GenAIOps: Building Robust and Secure GenAI Systems

Tuesday February 18, 2025 10:00am - 10:50am PST

Jason Kelly, Fremont AI, CEO

POCs and prototypes are exciting, but productionizing and scaling Generative AI applications is hard. How do you effectively monitor compliance, privacy, and safety? How do you support multiple models and use cases while avoiding vendor lock-in? And how do you help teams build their apps without reinventing the wheel or creating security vulnerabilities?

Whether your developers are wrapping third-party GenAI APIs or self-hosting a complex stack with RAG frameworks and fine-tuned LLMs, the landscape is filled with tools and frameworks that promise solutions. In this vendor-agnostic session, you'll get a detailed look at GenAIOps principles and tools. With real-world examples and sample code, you’ll learn how to navigate these challenges and leverage Generative AI with confidence.

We'll cover:

- Examples of GenAI pitfalls and business risk they create
- Components of a GenAIOps stack: Monitoring, Guardrails, API Management, Security, Developer Experience
- How GenAI integrates with the standard SDLC
- Examples from interviews with real-world teams in industry
- How-To: Deployable sample code for a cloud environment showing these guidelines in action [GitHub link to be included]

[Virtual Exclusive] PRO WORKSHOP (AI DevWorld): Running Billion-Scale Similarity Search at LLM Production Systems

Tuesday February 18, 2025 2:00pm - 2:50pm PST

VIRTUAL AI DevWorld Main Stage

Ohad Levi, Hyperspace, Founder and CEO

Search databases are integral to information retrieval and facilitation of similarity-based content discovery, playing a pivotal role in generative AI tech stack. Within this framework, the synergy of lexical and vector search algorithms enables the combination of structured and unstructured data, optimizing the precision, diversity and efficiency of LLM and RAG systems.

As a result, the demand for powerful search infrastructure is higher than ever: organization data is growing exponentially, while millions to billions of documents are becoming standard and the search queries become more resource-intensive, presenting significant performance, scalability and cost challenges at production-grade systems.

In this session we will explore various techniques to address those challenges, from space reduction to approximation methods as well as a range of acceleration technologies, which are highly parallelizable and designed for large scale real-time production systems. Transitioning from lab to production is not always seamless and contributing to the failure of numerous AI projects, the session target is to provide insights and solutions directly impacting the efficiency and success of future Gen AI applications.
