PRO WORKSHOP: Harnessing Microservices for Scalable and Resilient AI Applications LIMITED
Tuesday February 11, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST
AI DevWorld MAIN STAGE
Mayank Jindal, Amazon, Software engineer

AI applications present unique challenges related to scalability, complexity and resource optimization. This talk explores how microservices architecture can effectively address these challenges by decomposing AI systems into modular, independently deployable services. By adopting microservices, AI workloads—such as data preprocessing, model training and inference can be scaled and managed independently, leading to more flexible, efficient and resilient systems.

Attendees will learn how microservices architecture enables horizontal scaling of AI tasks allowing components like model inference engines to scale seamlessly as demand grows without affecting the entire application. We will also explore how microservices improve fault isolation ensuring that failures in one service do not propagate and disrupt the entire system. The session will cover asynchronous communication patterns, such as message queues and event-driven architectures which are particularly well-suited for decoupling AI services and handling complex, resource-heavy processes in parallel.

In addition, we will discuss strategies for orchestrating AI workflows and managing dependencies between services ensuring smooth operation even as the system grows more complex. The talk will also highlight best practices for designing resilient, scalable microservices that meet the specific needs of AI applications such as managing data flows, balancing computational loads and ensuring consistency across distributed services.

By the end of this session, attendees will understand how microservices can enable more scalable, flexible and fault-tolerant AI architectures. Whether developing real-time AI solutions, processing large datasets or managing multi-stage machine learning pipelines, participants will gain practical strategies for leveraging microservices to build scalable and resilient AI systems.

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.

CANCELLED -- KEYNOTE (AI DevWorld): Stack Overflow -- Why Building Trust in AI Is Key to Healthy Knowledge Ecosystem
Wednesday February 12, 2025 9:30am - 9:55am PST
DeveloperWeek MAIN STAGE


The internet and its business models are changing. For the last 16 years, Stack Overflow has been at the forefront, helping to shape the future of the web. In this time of disruption comes a necessary time to reflect, change, and break the norms of ‘this is how it's always been done.’ With the expansion of generative AI, many LLM providers are not allowing the world to operate as it has previously. Instead, a new paradigm has emerged: content created by thousands of creators across the Open Web is now being used to train models without respect or attribution for the original creator.

Consequently, in the current transformation, human-centered sources of knowledge are obscured. We face a world in which the old paradigms are no longer paramount, and their places in the world are redefined. Companies and organizations lucky enough to host these engines of knowledge production are at a decision point; how do they continue to monetize when the technological landscapes have changed? A change in strategy will allow these companies, AI tools, and the communities and data sets that power them to thrive.

CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar shares why in the GenAI era, trust in data is key to driving innovation, improving the developer experience, and building thriving knowledge communities.

OPEN Session: Using AI to Solve Real Problems for Development Teams
Wednesday February 12, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST
AI DevWorld Stage
Dennis Pilarinos, Unblocked, Founder & CEO

For all the claims about AI increasing developer productivity, why aren't developers seeing more of an impact?

What we’ve heard from thousands of developers is that writing code is not their main challenge. They’re stuck at Step #1 – trying to find the right context about how the codebase works and why.

Codebases are a compilation of thousands of decisions, discussions, and documents that live across tools like Confluence, Slack, Notion, Jira, Linear, GitHub, and more - accumulated over years if not decades. Whether a developer is onboarding to your team or trying to understand how a piece of legacy code works, they waste hours every day digging for the answers through all these systems.

Unblocked augments your code with context from the tools in your stack, giving your development team a platform for asking questions, and for discovering historical context about their code.

The impact here is profound: with Unblocked, developers can answer their own questions without interrupting their peers or having to wait for meetings. What’s more, they can find the entirety of the information they need wherever they're working.

If we want to see actual productivity benefits from AI, we need to use it where we spend the most time. The more we can empower developers with the context they need, the faster we can achieve our goals and the happier we can make our teams.

Sam Altman predicted that 2025 would be the year agents join the workforce. And we are starting to see that almost every company is making ongoing, internal or external efforts to create apps with GenAI. We must ensure they remain secure as we see the rise of AI apps and agents that integrate with our applications and act on our behalf.
Authentication and security for GenAI apps are not optional. Startups and enterprises across industries are betting on agents to drive efficiency, innovation, and growth; it will be crucial to prioritize and adopt identity best practices to secure users, applications, and data.
Join Shiven Ramji, President, Customer Identity Cloud, Okta, as he shows developers how to implement authentication and authorization requirements for GenAI apps and agents. He will explain how to securely get agents to call APIs on users' behalf, implement secure “human in the loop” flows for background agents, and ensure and enable fine-grained access control when doing Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).
You'll see how securing identity is the missing piece to making AI agents mainstream and learn how to solve it.

Wednesday February 12, 2025 11:30am - 11:55am PST
OpsWorld Stage
Kene Anoliefo, HEARD, Founder

Product discovery traditionally requires a PM working across a team of designers, engineers, and researchers to create and test new product concepts with users. But AI is rewriting these rules. Today, a single PM armed with AI tools can rapidly prototype and validate new product ideas on their own – compressing months of work into just a few days. Now, PMs can generate and explore more ideas with fewer resources, allowing their team to quickly get feedback on the most promising product directions with minimal time investment.
In this session, we'll explore how product managers can leverage no-code AI prototyping tools like Claude, Replit and Loveable to rapidly create functional web prototypes. Then, we’ll demonstrate how to test these prototypes with real customers using AI-powered user interviews, creating a seamless workflow from idea → test → validation.

KEYNOTE: DigitalOcean -- AI Democratization: Enabling Developers of All Sizes
Wednesday February 12, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST
DeveloperWeek MAIN STAGE
Bratin Saha, DigitalOcean, Chief Product and Technology Officer

Artificial intelligence (AI) seems to be taking all industries by storm. Still, the sad reality is that so far, these changes are afforded to and created by large players who have the resources to develop AI technology. But if we are to unlock the full potential and promise of this technology, the future of AI development needs to be shaped by developers in companies of all sizes, even if they are resource-constrained. This session will explore how democratizing AI tools, platforms, and knowledge can accelerate innovation, bridge skill gaps, and empower the next generation of AI technology creators.

Technology tends to follow the path of democratization. From an infrastructure layer to a platform layer to finally the application layer, making the technology accessible to everyday users should be the natural progression. AI will soon move from the foundational models developed by companies like Anthropic and Open AI to applications that allow users to interact with unique and useful AI tools in their daily lives. This will be made possible by lowering barriers to entry through open-source frameworks, user-friendly APIs, and collaborative ecosystems so AI can become a tool for everyone, not just a privileged few.

Attendees will leave this talk with practical insights on how companies can ensure the efficient and equitable development of AI through the steps needed to enable developers with AI infrastructure, simplify AI platforms and empower developers with AI-driven applications.

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are two of the most important developments in tech of the last 10 years. While AI has grabbed the majority of headlines lately, APIs are the unsung heroes, the “connective tissue” that ensures seamless integration across our digital lives. But how will the more recent emergence of AI affect API security, and how do APIs affect the security of AI? 
In this talk, we’ll explore these two hot topics that make our online worlds work. AI can be helpful to API security by allowing security teams to automate certain processes or make testing more efficient, but it can also be used to help malicious actors automate their attacks.

KEYNOTE (AI DevWorld): The Agentic Workforce Revolution: How to Futureproof Your Governance Framework
Wednesday February 12, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST
AI DevWorld MAIN STAGE
Manish Rai, Snaplogic, VP of Product Marketing

The rise of AI agents shows no sign of slowing down, with the market projected* to grow tenfold from $5 billion in 2024 to nearly $50 billion by 2030. By this time, generative AI will be table stakes, and business and IT leaders will instead be grappling with how to manage an entire workforce of AI agents carrying out a range of automated tasks.

In an AI-powered future, enterprises are like gardens with AI agents as gardeners, helping the landscapers maintain the estate. These agents are smart, self sufficient tools, and excel at specific tasks, but if the tool shed is disorganized they will be slowed down — or worse, use the wrong soil or seeds and cause irreparable damage, preventing the garden from blooming to its full potential. To avoid this, organizations must keep their tools in order.

In this session, Manish Rai will explore a range of considerations for enterprises as they implement and scale a team of AI agents to set themselves up for long-term success. It will encompass topics such as function management, and how to govern the tools AI agents will have access to — while maintaining guardrails. As use cases for AI agents expand to non-technical teams, Rai will also discuss key stakeholders for overseeing implementation to prevent shadow data. Finally, he will provide tips for organizations seeking to rework their overall data governance framework to meet the moment head on, and be prepared for a new agentic workforce.

OPEN Session: Developing the Most Efficient LLM Inferencing
Thursday February 13, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST
AI DevWorld Stage
Moshe Twitto, Pliops, Founder & CTO

Organizations are increasingly concerned about the lack of power budgets in data centers, particularly as AI infrastructure and emerging AI applications lead to higher energy footprints and strain cooling systems. As they scale their AI operations and add GPU compute tiers, the escalating power and cooling demands, coupled with significant capital investments in GPUs, are eroding margins. A monumental challenge looms as data centers struggle to secure essential power, creating significant pressure for companies striving to expand their AI capabilities.

In today's LLM inferencing computing, GPU prefill operations are heavily compute-bound and critically determine the batch size. While prefill can fully utilize GPU resources, increasing the batch size beyond a certain point only increases the Time to First Token (TTFT) without improving prefill rate. On the other hand, GPU decode operations are HBM bandwidth-bound and mainly influenced by model and KV cache sizes, benefiting significantly from larger batch sizes through higher HBM bandwidth efficiency. Pliops' solution improves prefill time, allowing for larger batch sizes without violating user SLA for prefill operations. This enhancement directly affects decode performance as well, as it gains greatly from the increased batch size. As a result, by improving prefill time, the system achieves nearly proportional improvements in end-to-end throughput.

PRO Session: Striking the Balance: Leveraging Human Intelligence with LLMs for Cost-Effective Annotations
Thursday February 13, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST
AI DevWorld MAIN STAGE
Shambhavi Srivastava, Appen, AI Solutions Architect

Data annotation involves assigning relevant information to raw data to enhance machine learning (ML) model performance. While this process is crucial, it can be time-consuming and expensive. The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) offers a unique opportunity to automate data annotation. However, the complexity of data annotation, stemming from unclear task instructions and subjective human judgment on equivocal data points, presents challenges that are not immediately apparent.

In this session, Shambhavi Srivastava, AI Solutions Architect at Appen will provide a overview of an experiment that the company recently conducted to test the tradeoff between quality and cost of training ML models via LLMs vs human input. Their goal was to differentiate between utterances that could be confidently annotated by LLMs, and those that required human intervention. This differentiation was crucial to ensure a diverse range of opinions or to prevent incorrect responses from overly general models. Shambhavi will walk audience members through the dataset used as well as methodology for the experiment, as well as the company’s research findings.

In the presentation titled "AI Frontiers: Shielding Digital Gateways from Bot Invasions," we delve into the forefront of cyber defense against bot-driven threats that exploit API vulnerabilities. This comprehensive study explores how advanced AI and ML models are being harnessed to fortify digital defenses, offering a detailed analysis of API communication patterns and the evolving landscape of bot attacks. Through a series of real-world case studies, we illuminate the mechanisms of sophisticated bot strategies—ranging from data breaches and account takeovers to shopping bots that deplete inventories. The narrative progresses to unveil how AI/ML technologies serve as the cornerstone of innovative defense mechanisms. We dissect the architecture of AI-driven systems tailored to detect and counteract anomalous behaviors indicative of bot activities, leveraging vast datasets to train ML models that adeptly differentiate between legitimate user interactions and malicious bot intrusions. The discussion further navigates through the technical and operational nuances of implementing AI/ML defenses, emphasizing predictive analytics for preemptive action, machine learning for dynamic threat adaptation, and the overarching impact of such technologies in securing digital ecosystems against the insidious threats posed by automated attacks. This presentation not only highlights the challenges but also showcases the resilience and adaptability of AI/ML solutions in the ever-evolving battle against digital villains.

Thursday February 13, 2025 10:30am - 10:55am PST
OpsWorld Stage
Animesh Mishra, Diffblue, Senior Solutions Engineer

Developer toil is real — days, even weeks, are spent conducting manual, repetitive, time-gobbling tasks like unit testing. And while GenAI coding assistants can support developers, they repeatedly fall short in performing complex TestQA tasks without human oversight.

The problem is compounded by the shortage of experienced testers, leaving developers drowning in QA testing rather than writing and innovating application code. Reports show 75% of developers’ time is spent on tasks other than code generation, resulting in 57% of developers admitting to skipping unit tests entirely.

For companies to succeed, code must be fool proof. So how can developers ensure testing is comprehensive and done with due diligence — and at scale?

The answer lies in reinforcement learning-based autonomous AI, which can eliminate up to 95% of the time developers typically spend on test writing. In this session, you will learn how to eliminate developer toil by automating manual and tedious test operations at scale (both locally and in CI), how the right tools can autonomously write and maintain unit tests for entire Java code bases, and how to ensure your unit tests for complex code are comprehensive.

This talk is designed for dev leaders looking to push the boundaries of what’s possible in Test/QA with emerging AI technology.

PRO Session: Pattern Rights - An Ethical Framework for Generative AI Training Data
Thursday February 13, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST
AI DevWorld MAIN STAGE
Alison Cossette, Neo4j, Data Science Strategist, Advocate, Educator

As generative AI continues to push boundaries, creating novel content by learning from massive datasets, we are faced with complex issues around intellectual property, privacy, and the ethical use of data. Current systems of copyright, fair use, and data protection lack the scope to fully address the unique challenges posed by AI pattern recognition and generation.

This pivotal talk introduces the pioneering concept of "Pattern Rights" - a holistic ethical framework to inform the development and deployment of generative AI technologies. Pattern Rights serves as an umbrella construct, encompassing principles of copyright, fair use, training data transparency, privacy, data ownership, and accountability.

We will explore how Pattern Rights can ensure appropriate attribution and compensation when AI models learn from copyrighted works or personal data. It establishes guidelines around consent, anonymization, and ethical data sourcing practices.

As the AI industry is rapidly evolving, we urgently need governance to foster innovation while upholding rights and safeguarding against misuse. Pattern Rights provides a roadmap to navigate this uncharted territory responsibly and equitably.

OPEN Session: Give Your LLMs a Left Brain
Thursday February 13, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST
AI DevWorld Stage
Stephen Chin, Neo4j, VP of Developer Relations

The human brain is divided into two hemispheres, each of which specializes in different types of tasks. Your right brain excels at imagination, intuition, art, rhythm, feelings, and dreams. Meanwhile, the left brain is more analytical and focused on logic, sequencing, linear thinking, and mathematics. Like a human brain, generative AI excels at certain tasks, especially those related to right-brain creative activities. However, the absence of relevant and up-to-date information produces confusing hallucinations that are not grounded in reality. 
This presentation will explore how knowledge graphs built with factual and updated information can complement LLMs via retrieval augment generation (RAG) to produce more reliable results.

Jocelyn Matthews, Pinecone, DevRel, Head of Community

If you had a collection of every kind of animal on earth, from mules to narwhals to goldfish, how would we pick out just the animals that are housepets? And how does AI distinguish between a pack mule and a Moscow Mule?

Embeddings are numerical representations that capture the essential features and relationships of discrete objects, like words or images, in a continuous vector space, enabling tasks such as semantic search, clustering, and recommendations.

This is a dense but entertaining talk about the core concepts of embeddings, ranging from multidimensional vector space to the ever-familiar box of crayons we used as kids. The presentation will cover fundamental concepts, including how embeddings represent various data types, the importance of context sensitivity, and between dimensionality.

The talk introduces specialized terms and breaks them down into simple, everyday examples to help learners relate difficult concepts to familiar things. Then, we build back up to the specialized terms to deepen understanding.

Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how embeddings work, their benefits, and why they are leveraged in machine learning tasks

KEYNOTE (AI DevWorld): SambaNova Systems -- Composition of Experts: A Modular Approach to Scaling AI Models
Thursday February 13, 2025 2:30pm - 2:55pm PST
DeveloperWeek MAIN STAGE
Anton McGonnell, SambaNova Systems, VP of Product

This session, led by Anton McGonnell, Head of Software Products at SambaNova Systems, presents an in-depth exploration of the Composition of Experts approach in AI - a model made up of many models that work in conjunction with each other - and in particular the benefits to individual developers. Instead of building one monolithic model, this strategy composes workflows using many specialised, independent "expert" models. This proves to be more efficient, modular, and extensible.

The talk will provide a deep dive into the advantages of this technique, which promotes reusability, saves on alignment tax, and enables granular access control. By detailing real-world implementations, attendees will learn best practices for breaking down problems, assigning appropriate experts, and orchestrating data flow between them. McGonnell will discuss how an architecture with a large memory capacity, enables this approach by hosting and serving thousands of models in parallel on a single node without performance degradation. This makes the Composition of Experts approach highly scalable and reduces the total cost of ownership for inference.

Additionally, the session will offer crucial hardware considerations for executing Composition of Experts at scale. It will examine how specialised architectures can allow hosting thousands of models in parallel on a single node. With companies increasingly relying on AI, reliability and cost-efficiency are paramount concerns. Composition of Experts tackles these challenges through modularity and inference optimisation. By attending, developers and engineers can expect to gain highly applicable skills for improving the scalability, performance, and governance of AI in production environments.

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.

[Virtual] KEYNOTE (AI DevWorld): Stack Overflow -- Why Building Trust in AI Is Key to Healthy Knowledge Ecosystem
Wednesday February 19, 2025 9:30am - 9:55am PST
VIRTUAL DeveloperWeek MAIN STAGE
Prashanth Chandrasekar, Stack Overflow, CEO

The internet and its business models are changing. For the last 16 years, Stack Overflow has been at the forefront, helping to shape the future of the web. In this time of disruption comes a necessary time to reflect, change, and break the norms of ‘this is how it's always been done.’ With the expansion of generative AI, many LLM providers are not allowing the world to operate as it has previously. Instead, a new paradigm has emerged: content created by thousands of creators across the Open Web is now being used to train models without respect or attribution for the original creator.

Consequently, in the current transformation, human-centered sources of knowledge are obscured. We face a world in which the old paradigms are no longer paramount, and their places in the world are redefined. Companies and organizations lucky enough to host these engines of knowledge production are at a decision point; how do they continue to monetize when the technological landscapes have changed? A change in strategy will allow these companies, AI tools, and the communities and data sets that power them to thrive.

CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar shares why in the GenAI era, trust in data is key to driving innovation, improving the developer experience, and building thriving knowledge communities.

Mithun A. Sridharan, Think Insights, Founder

A principles-based framework for AI governance provides a compass to navigate the ethical and responsible development and use of Artificial Intelligence. Unlike rigid rulebooks, these frameworks establish core principles that guide decision-making throughout the AI lifecycle to address the unique challenges posed by different AI systems.

Several prominent examples of principles-based frameworks exist. The European Union's Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI, the Bletchley Declaration, SR 117, and ISO/IEC 42001 are a few frameworks that provide a comprehensive set of principles for organizations to manage AI throughout its lifecycle.

The principles-based approaches provide a strong foundation for navigating the complexities of AI development and implementation. As AI technology continues to evolve, these frameworks can be revisited and refined to address new challenges. By focusing on core ethical principles, they ensure that AI development remains responsible and human-centric.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: Using AI to Solve Real Problems for Development Teams
Wednesday February 19, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST
VIRTUAL AI DevWorld Stage
Dennis Pilarinos, Unblocked, Founder & CEO

For all the claims about AI increasing developer productivity, why aren't developers seeing more of an impact?

What we’ve heard from thousands of developers is that writing code is not their main challenge. They’re stuck at Step #1 – trying to find the right context about how the codebase works and why.

Codebases are a compilation of thousands of decisions, discussions, and documents that live across tools like Confluence, Slack, Notion, Jira, Linear, GitHub, and more - accumulated over years if not decades. Whether a developer is onboarding to your team or trying to understand how a piece of legacy code works, they waste hours every day digging for the answers through all these systems.

Unblocked augments your code with context from the tools in your stack, giving your development team a platform for asking questions, and for discovering historical context about their code.

The impact here is profound: with Unblocked, developers can answer their own questions without interrupting their peers or having to wait for meetings. What’s more, they can find the entirety of the information they need wherever they're working.

If we want to see actual productivity benefits from AI, we need to use it where we spend the most time. The more we can empower developers with the context they need, the faster we can achieve our goals and the happier we can make our teams.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: Harnessing Microservices for Scalable and Resilient AI Applications
Wednesday February 19, 2025 12:00pm - 12:25pm PST
VIRTUAL Frontend World
Mayank Jindal, Amazon, Software engineer

AI applications present unique challenges related to scalability, complexity and resource optimization. This talk explores how microservices architecture can effectively address these challenges by decomposing AI systems into modular, independently deployable services. By adopting microservices, AI workloads—such as data preprocessing, model training and inference can be scaled and managed independently, leading to more flexible, efficient and resilient systems.

Attendees will learn how microservices architecture enables horizontal scaling of AI tasks allowing components like model inference engines to scale seamlessly as demand grows without affecting the entire application. We will also explore how microservices improve fault isolation ensuring that failures in one service do not propagate and disrupt the entire system. The session will cover asynchronous communication patterns, such as message queues and event-driven architectures which are particularly well-suited for decoupling AI services and handling complex, resource-heavy processes in parallel.

In addition, we will discuss strategies for orchestrating AI workflows and managing dependencies between services ensuring smooth operation even as the system grows more complex. The talk will also highlight best practices for designing resilient, scalable microservices that meet the specific needs of AI applications such as managing data flows, balancing computational loads and ensuring consistency across distributed services.

By the end of this session, attendees will understand how microservices can enable more scalable, flexible and fault-tolerant AI architectures. Whether developing real-time AI solutions, processing large datasets or managing multi-stage machine learning pipelines, participants will gain practical strategies for leveraging microservices to build scalable and resilient AI systems.

Jeremy Snyder, Firetail, CEO

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are two of the most important developments in tech of the last 10 years. While AI has grabbed the majority of headlines lately, APIs are the unsung heroes, the “connective tissue” that ensures seamless integration across our digital lives. But how will the more recent emergence of AI affect API security, and how do APIs affect the security of AI? 
In this talk, we’ll explore these two hot topics that make our online worlds work. AI can be helpful to API security by allowing security teams to automate certain processes or make testing more efficient, but it can also be used to help malicious actors automate their attacks.

[Virtual] KEYNOTE (AI DevWorld): The Agentic Workforce Revolution: How to Futureproof Your Governance Framework
Wednesday February 19, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST
VIRTUAL AI DevWorld Main Stage
Manish Rai, Snaplogic, VP of Product Marketing

The rise of AI agents shows no sign of slowing down, with the market projected* to grow tenfold from $5 billion in 2024 to nearly $50 billion by 2030. By this time, generative AI will be table stakes, and business and IT leaders will instead be grappling with how to manage an entire workforce of AI agents carrying out a range of automated tasks.

In an AI-powered future, enterprises are like gardens with AI agents as gardeners, helping the landscapers maintain the estate. These agents are smart, self sufficient tools, and excel at specific tasks, but if the tool shed is disorganized they will be slowed down — or worse, use the wrong soil or seeds and cause irreparable damage, preventing the garden from blooming to its full potential. To avoid this, organizations must keep their tools in order.

In this session, Manish Rai will explore a range of considerations for enterprises as they implement and scale a team of AI agents to set themselves up for long-term success. It will encompass topics such as function management, and how to govern the tools AI agents will have access to — while maintaining guardrails. As use cases for AI agents expand to non-technical teams, Rai will also discuss key stakeholders for overseeing implementation to prevent shadow data. Finally, he will provide tips for organizations seeking to rework their overall data governance framework to meet the moment head on, and be prepared for a new agentic workforce.

[Virtual] PRO Session: Striking the Balance: Leveraging Human Intelligence with LLMs for Cost-Effective Annotations
Thursday February 20, 2025 9:30am - 9:55am PST
VIRTUAL AI DevWorld Main Stage
Shambhavi Srivastava, Appen, AI Solutions Architect

Data annotation involves assigning relevant information to raw data to enhance machine learning (ML) model performance. While this process is crucial, it can be time-consuming and expensive. The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) offers a unique opportunity to automate data annotation. However, the complexity of data annotation, stemming from unclear task instructions and subjective human judgment on equivocal data points, presents challenges that are not immediately apparent.

In this session, Shambhavi Srivastava, AI Solutions Architect at Appen will provide a overview of an experiment that the company recently conducted to test the tradeoff between quality and cost of training ML models via LLMs vs human input. Their goal was to differentiate between utterances that could be confidently annotated by LLMs, and those that required human intervention. This differentiation was crucial to ensure a diverse range of opinions or to prevent incorrect responses from overly general models. Shambhavi will walk audience members through the dataset used as well as methodology for the experiment, as well as the company’s research findings.

Thursday February 20, 2025 9:30am - 10:20am PST
VIRTUAL Frontend World
Srik Gorthy, ByteDance (TikTok), Senior Data Scientist

In the era of Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI-driven insights, the quality of data holds the key to business decisions. Yet, biased samples — often overlooked or underestimated — can lead to flawed conclusions, unreliable models, and a loss of trust in data-driven systems. Whether biases stem from data collection methods, under-represented groups, or feedback loops in AI systems, understanding and addressing them is crucial for maintaining the integrity of insights.

This presentation examines the pervasive challenge of biased data samples and discusses key issues that data practitioners frequently encounter. From selection bias, where certain groups are systematically excluded, to response bias, where participation is skewed, biased sampling can distort the data landscape in subtle but significant ways. These biases have direct real-world consequences: for example, a cancer detection system that erroneously associates the presence of a ruler in mole images with malignancy, or an autonomous driving system trained without accounting for real-world deviations from traffic rules.

Recognizing bias is just the first step. The presentation will explore actionable strategies — like thoughtful sampling design and bootstrap resampling — to detect and mitigate bias, ensuring insights reflect reality more accurately. By examining real-world examples and practical approaches, this discussion invites professionals to rethink how data is collected and analyzed. Looking beyond the data means understanding its imperfections, challenging assumptions, and adopting techniques that uphold reliable decision-making in an increasingly AI-centric world.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: Developing the Most Efficient LLM Inferencing
Thursday February 20, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST
VIRTUAL AI DevWorld Stage
Moshe Twitto, Pliops, Founder & CTO

Organizations are increasingly concerned about the lack of power budgets in data centers, particularly as AI infrastructure and emerging AI applications lead to higher energy footprints and strain cooling systems. As they scale their AI operations and add GPU compute tiers, the escalating power and cooling demands, coupled with significant capital investments in GPUs, are eroding margins. A monumental challenge looms as data centers struggle to secure essential power, creating significant pressure for companies striving to expand their AI capabilities.

In today's LLM inferencing computing, GPU prefill operations are heavily compute-bound and critically determine the batch size. While prefill can fully utilize GPU resources, increasing the batch size beyond a certain point only increases the Time to First Token (TTFT) without improving prefill rate. On the other hand, GPU decode operations are HBM bandwidth-bound and mainly influenced by model and KV cache sizes, benefiting significantly from larger batch sizes through higher HBM bandwidth efficiency. Pliops' solution improves prefill time, allowing for larger batch sizes without violating user SLA for prefill operations. This enhancement directly affects decode performance as well, as it gains greatly from the increased batch size. As a result, by improving prefill time, the system achieves nearly proportional improvements in end-to-end throughput.

Animesh Mishra, Diffblue, Senior Solutions Engineer

Developer toil is real — days, even weeks, are spent conducting manual, repetitive, time-gobbling tasks like unit testing. And while GenAI coding assistants can support developers, they repeatedly fall short in performing complex TestQA tasks without human oversight.

The problem is compounded by the shortage of experienced testers, leaving developers drowning in QA testing rather than writing and innovating application code. Reports show 75% of developers’ time is spent on tasks other than code generation, resulting in 57% of developers admitting to skipping unit tests entirely.

For companies to succeed, code must be fool proof. So how can developers ensure testing is comprehensive and done with due diligence — and at scale?

The answer lies in reinforcement learning-based autonomous AI, which can eliminate up to 95% of the time developers typically spend on test writing. In this session, you will learn how to eliminate developer toil by automating manual and tedious test operations at scale (both locally and in CI), how the right tools can autonomously write and maintain unit tests for entire Java code bases, and how to ensure your unit tests for complex code are comprehensive.

This talk is designed for dev leaders looking to push the boundaries of what’s possible in Test/QA with emerging AI technology.

Alison Cossette, Neo4j, Data Science Strategist, Advocate, Educator

As generative AI continues to push boundaries, creating novel content by learning from massive datasets, we are faced with complex issues around intellectual property, privacy, and the ethical use of data. Current systems of copyright, fair use, and data protection lack the scope to fully address the unique challenges posed by AI pattern recognition and generation.

This pivotal talk introduces the pioneering concept of "Pattern Rights" - a holistic ethical framework to inform the development and deployment of generative AI technologies. Pattern Rights serves as an umbrella construct, encompassing principles of copyright, fair use, training data transparency, privacy, data ownership, and accountability.

We will explore how Pattern Rights can ensure appropriate attribution and compensation when AI models learn from copyrighted works or personal data. It establishes guidelines around consent, anonymization, and ethical data sourcing practices.

As the AI industry is rapidly evolving, we urgently need governance to foster innovation while upholding rights and safeguarding against misuse. Pattern Rights provides a roadmap to navigate this uncharted territory responsibly and equitably.

Stephen Chin, Neo4j, VP of Developer Relations

The human brain is divided into two hemispheres, each of which specializes in different types of tasks. Your right brain excels at imagination, intuition, art, rhythm, feelings, and dreams. Meanwhile, the left brain is more analytical and focused on logic, sequencing, linear thinking, and mathematics. Like a human brain, generative AI excels at certain tasks, especially those related to right-brain creative activities. However, the absence of relevant and up-to-date information produces confusing hallucinations that are not grounded in reality. 
This presentation will explore how knowledge graphs built with factual and updated information can complement LLMs via retrieval augment generation (RAG) to produce more reliable results.

[Virtual] KEYNOTE (AI DevWorld): SambaNova Systems -- Composition of Experts: A Modular Approach to Scaling AI Models
Thursday February 20, 2025 2:30pm - 2:55pm PST
VIRTUAL DeveloperWeek MAIN STAGE
Anton McGonnell, SambaNova Systems, VP of Product

This session, led by Anton McGonnell, Head of Software Products at SambaNova Systems, presents an in-depth exploration of the Composition of Experts approach in AI - a model made up of many models that work in conjunction with each other - and in particular the benefits to individual developers. Instead of building one monolithic model, this strategy composes workflows using many specialised, independent "expert" models. This proves to be more efficient, modular, and extensible.

The talk will provide a deep dive into the advantages of this technique, which promotes reusability, saves on alignment tax, and enables granular access control. By detailing real-world implementations, attendees will learn best practices for breaking down problems, assigning appropriate experts, and orchestrating data flow between them. McGonnell will discuss how an architecture with a large memory capacity, enables this approach by hosting and serving thousands of models in parallel on a single node without performance degradation. This makes the Composition of Experts approach highly scalable and reduces the total cost of ownership for inference.

Additionally, the session will offer crucial hardware considerations for executing Composition of Experts at scale. It will examine how specialised architectures can allow hosting thousands of models in parallel on a single node. With companies increasingly relying on AI, reliability and cost-efficiency are paramount concerns. Composition of Experts tackles these challenges through modularity and inference optimisation. By attending, developers and engineers can expect to gain highly applicable skills for improving the scalability, performance, and governance of AI in production environments.
