[Virtual Exclusive] PRO WORKSHOP (AI DevWorld): Practical Tips for Building AI Applications Using LLMs - Best Practices and Trade-Offs
Tuesday February 18, 2025 9:00am - 9:50am PST
Sourabh Gawande, KushoAI, Co-founder and CTO

At KushoAI, we’ve built an AI agent that can autonomously perform API testing for you. While building this, we came across a lot of problems specific to AI applications built on top of LLMs that you don’t see anywhere else. Since this is a fairly new area of development, we had to spend a lot of time figuring out solutions for them on our own.

The agenda of this talk is to give you an idea of the kind of problems that you’ll face while building AI applications, various tried and tested approaches to solve them and trade-offs that you need to consider while building AI applications.

We hope that attendees will be able to learn from our experience of building AI applications and get started on their own journey.

[Virtual] PRO WORKSHOP: The Dark Side of Open Source Productivity
Tuesday February 18, 2025 1:00pm - 1:50pm PST
Derek Francour, Endor Labs, Solutions

There is a dark side to productivity with open source. In modern applications, the majority of code on which an application is built isn’t code written by your team. Modern applications are built on the backs of volunteer communities and open-source software. These volunteers and their software delivery practices all become potential attack vectors. The truth is that most organizations do not factor open-source supply chain attacks into their organization’s threat models today. Security incidents such as the CodeCov bash uploader script, the npm colors, and faker intentionally introduced malicious commits, and the recent PyPi backdoors targeting AWS credentials highlight the impact of supply chain attacks as a scalable attack pattern. To spread awareness on supply chain attacks so that organizations can scalably handle them we propose baking supply chain attacks into existing threat modeling procedures and software development culture so that organizations can champion supply chain management of open source in the places where they are most impactful, at development time. We will present a comprehensive, comprehensible, and technology-agnostic taxonomy of attack vectors, created on the basis of hundreds of real-world incidents and validated by experts in the domain. Following, we will discuss the types of defenses you can put in place to detect and respond to such modern day attacks and how you can work these defenses in based on your program’s maturity.

[Virtual Exclusive] PRO WORKSHOP (AI DevWorld): Running Billion-Scale Similarity Search at LLM Production Systems
Tuesday February 18, 2025 2:00pm - 2:50pm PST
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.

[Virtual] PRO WORKSHOP: Multimodal Search with Open-Source Tools
Tuesday February 18, 2025 2:00pm - 2:50pm PST
Stefan Webb, Zilliz, Developer Advocate

A recent and exciting development in the world of Generative AI has been the use of language to understand images, video, and sound. One example is multi-modal retrieval, which is the process of using one modality, like text, to search another modality, like images. It is not only useful for search engines across media types, but also for grounding LLMs in factual data and reducing hallucinations. In this talk, I explain how to build a simple but performant multi-modal retrieval pipeline using completely open-source tools and models: the vector database Milvus and HuggingFace libraries for modeling and data. I discuss techniques to use multimodal retrieval most effectively and increase recall, as well as some interesting and diverse industry applications.
