GenAI Cracow #9

​Welcome to the 9th edition of GenAI Cracow's community meetup. This time, we have the pleasure of being hosted by Grand Parade.

​Due to sudden change in the hackathon schedule, we had to change the plans for this edition.

​Agenda

• ​A few words about Grand Parade from Filip

• ​Autogen conversation patterns by Lukasz

• ​FastMLX: Building Multimodal Agents on Mac by Prince

• ​Quiz (sponsored by FutureConf)

• ​Networking

​Abstract

​Autogen conversation patterns
Łukasz Wolski will introduce us to the Autogen Conversation Patterns. Unlike LangGraph, which focuses on structured workflows with conditional logic and branching, Autogen focuses on autonomous agent collaboration. The framework supports various conversation patterns—such as two-agent chats, sequential interactions, group discussions, and nested conversations

​FastMLX: Building Multimodal Agents on Mac
Join Prince as he demonstrates how to build multimodal AI agents running natively on Mac using FastMLX. Thanks to FastMLX and MLX, Apple Silicon started to compete with high-end consumer NVIDIA GPUs in AI deployment, from model optimization to real-world applications. Are you ready for practical techniques for creating agents that process text, vision, and audio on macOS?

​Quiz and Networking will be hosted by Ursula.
