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.

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.

Nearly every engineering organization has adopted, or is thinking about adopting GenAI as a tool for developers. It has become wildly popular for everything from generating code, to writing and deploying tests, pull request reviews, experimentation and PoCs and much more. But who checks the machines?

In this talk I'll dive into the actual measurable outcomes - positive and negative - of adopting GenAI in engineering organizations. While engineering leaders rapidly jumped on the GenAI bandwagon, many are still struggling to quantify its value, not to mention manage its risks. This talk will discuss how and what to measure to understand adoption, quantify benefits and control risks in your initiative to leverage AI in your engineering organization. Join us to learn about the specific metrics you should be monitoring to ensure maximizing ROI on your GenAI engineering org initiatives.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Wednesday February 19, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST

VIRTUAL Dev Security World

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.

[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.

[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.

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.
