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

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.

PRO Session: Building an Advanced Software Engineering Agent

Wednesday February 12, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST

AI DevWorld Main Stage

YK Sugi, Sourcegraph, Senior AI Developer Advocate

This presentation details the development of an experimental software engineering agent designed to answer complex questions about codebases. The core innovation lies in a graph-based approach where the agent iteratively gathers contextual information, using self-reflection to assess its confidence in answering the query. By treating accumulated context as a set and employing a greedy best-first search guided by confidence scores, the system aims to efficiently navigate the codebase and provide accurate answers. Initial findings are promising, with future benchmarks on real-world software engineering challenges planned to further validate its capabilities.

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, Chris Stephens, Field CTO and Head of AI Solutions 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. Chris will walk audience members through the dataset used as well as methodology for the experiment, as well as the company’s research findings.

PRO Session: From Thought to Action: How Agentic AI Will Reshape Enterprise AI

Thursday February 13, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST

AI DevWorld Main Stage

Utkarsh Contractor, Aisera, VP of AI

Enterprises are on the cusp of a transformative shift. They are moving beyond task-specific AI to embrace agentic systems capable of autonomous decision-making and actions through probabilistic reasoning. This evolution marks a new era of autonomy, where AI not only augments human capabilities but also drives business outcomes by:
- Optimizing Operations: Self-regulating systems enhance efficiency, ensure compliance, and proactively mitigate risks.
- Accelerating Innovation: Data-driven insights fuel strategic decision-making, enabling rapid market adaptation.
- Enhancing Customer Experience: Intelligent agents anticipate customer needs, delivering personalized solutions.

Although the potential benefits are immense, successful implementation demands a strategic approach that encompasses ethical considerations, security, and complexity management.

Join Utkarsh Contractor, VP of AI/ML at Aisera, as we explore the opportunities and challenges of this paradigm shift and how organizations can harness agentic AI to achieve sustained competitive advantage.

KEYNOTE (AI DevWorld): SambaNova Systems -- Composition of Experts: A Modular Approach to Scaling AI Models

Thursday February 13, 2025 2:30pm - 2:55pm PST

AI DevWorld 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.
