Robin Bordoli of Weights & Biases explores AI's exponential growth, from past achievements to the current agentic landscape. He discusses the rise of reinforcement learning, the challenge of productionizing reliable agents, and highlights how foundational issues in AI development persist even as model capabilities soar.
Zhen Lu, CEO of Runpod, discusses the shift from Web 2.0 architectures to an "AI-first" cloud. The conversation covers the unique hardware and software requirements for production AI, key use cases like generative media and enterprise agents, and the critical challenges of reliability and operationalization in the new AI stack.
In a special live episode from OpenAI Dev Day, host Andrew Mayne interviews founders from SchoolAI, jam.dev, Abridge, and Cursor. They discuss how they are using AI to transform education, web development, healthcare, and coding, sharing insights on their product strategies, technical challenges, and excitement for the next wave of agent-based AI tools.
Jerry from LlamaIndex explains why naive Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) fails in production and dives deep into advanced data quality techniques—from parsing complex documents and hierarchical indexing to chunking best practices—required to build robust, high-quality LLM applications.
Jay Alammar, Director at Cohere, discusses the practical adoption of Large Language Models in the enterprise. He covers the evolution of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) from a simple anti-hallucination tool to complex, agentic systems, the critical role of evaluation as intellectual property, and future trends like text diffusion and the increasing capability of smaller models for specialized business tasks.
A deep dive into building agentic systems using OpenAI's latest APIs. The session covers the core concept of 'agentic tool calling' (reasoning + tools), outlines a four-part framework (Agent, Infrastructure, Product, Evaluation) for designing long-horizon tasks, and provides a hands-on demonstration of building a non-blocking task processing system with a real-time progress UI.
