GenAI Salon with Jerry Liu & Ben Firshman

​Join us for 2nd ever GenAI Salon, with Jerry Liu (CEO at LlamaIndex) and Ben Firshman (Founder & CEO at Replicate), at the new W&B offices!

​Jerry is going to talk about how the world has started to shift from simple RAG stacks, which are mostly good for answering pointed questions, to agents that can more autonomously reason over a diverse set of inputs, and interleave retrieval and tool use to produce sophisticated outputs. Building a reliable multi-agent system is challenging. There’s a core question of developer ergonomics and production deployment – what makes sense outside a notebook setting. In this talk, Jerry will outline some core building blocks for building advanced research assistants!

​Ben will dig into the Replicate story, focusing on two main concepts: how he and the Replicate team grew their business to millions of users, and what kinds of products and projects they are seeing people build with AI. This presentation will be a great opportunity to learn about the business side of our industry, as well as a chance to get inspiration from millions of builders.
