Information on the talks:
Talk 1 - Evals are the difference between building a demo and a product you can actually use. This talk is a little story about building a new class of product at StackOne. A front door for AI agents into the HR tech ecosystem. I'll talk about building workflows, agentic rag and how to make sure it doesn't all break all the time.
Talk 2 - AI has revolutionized web application internationalization. This talk demonstrates how modern AI technologies create a transformative shift in making web content globally accessible. Instead of traditional localization workflows costing thousands per language, we can now automate translation, transcription, and voice generation at a fraction of the cost. Through live demos and real-world examples, we’ll explore how this disrupts conventional approaches and empowers small teams to reach global audiences. The talk will also showcase practical implementation patterns attendees can apply to their projects.
Talk 3 - As the demand for large language models (LLMs) and AI-powered applications continues to grow, businesses are facing challenges in scaling compute capabilities and managing costs. GPUs have become the cornerstone of AI innovation, but their integration requires scalable and efficient solutions tailored to enterprise needs.
