PRO Session: Reproducible AI with Langchain and lakeFS

Thursday February 13, 2025 11:00am - 11:25am PST

AI DevWorld MAIN STAGE

Amit Kesarwani, Treeverse, Director, Solution Architecture

Langchain has become one of the most popular frameworks for anyone building custom, generative AI-driven apps powered by LLMs, that leverage RAG for the most enhanced results. But like all data products, these applications are really only as good as the org data fed into them.

In this live session you’ll learn how to build a reproducible AI app pipeline with Langchain & lakeFS, including how to build a RAG chatbot, while iteratively tuning it for best results leveraging Delta Lake’s temporal versions, you’ll come away with improved methods for data reproducibility for custom AI apps.

PRO Session: Embeddings: Core Concepts for Developers

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

AI DevWorld MAIN STAGE

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

[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.

[Virtual Exclusive] OPEN Session: DevOps and Platform Engineering in a World of AI

Wednesday February 19, 2025 10:30am - 10:55am PST

VIRTUAL Dev Security World

Elad Hirsch, TeraSky, Tech Lead

Will AI or RAG agents replace DevOps teams and infrastructure automation? We investigate today's coding LLMs as capable engineers using RAG agents to perform tasks along with text completion.

This session will cover:
- A brief history and intro to LLMs.
- Which models are ideal for DevOps?
- Interactive completion quiz, letting the audience pretend to be an LLM.
- How do RAG agents complement AI for DevOps?
- Limitations and security considerations.

You'll come away from this session with a pretty solid answer to the question: will an AI replace my job as a DevOps engineer?
