Talk #1: Empowering AI Application Development with TiDB
Speaker: Xin Shi
Abstract: AI application development, especially in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), presents unique challenges requiring efficient and scalable data solutions. This talk explores how TiDB, an open-source, distributed SQL database, acts as an all-in-one platform for AI developers. By integrating knowledge graphs, vector stores, document stores, and chat stores, TiDB accelerates development cycles and enhances productivity. Attendees will learn practical strategies to leverage TiDB's capabilities for building robust AI applications.
Talk #2: Building a High-Performance, Low-Latency Data Access Layer for Data Preprocessing, Model Training & Inference
Speaker: Bin Fan
Abstract: AI workloads are pushing traditional data infrastructure to its limits, demanding scalable, high-performance solutions for preprocessing, training, and inference. Key challenges include efficient ETL at scale, high-throughput data retrieval, and multi-tiered memory for inference. In this talk, Bin Fan (VP of Open Source @ Alluxio) will discuss a distributed caching architecture designed specifically for AI/ML workloads. He will explore lessons from evolving Alluxio, techniques to achieve terabyte-per-second throughput, and real-world benchmarks demonstrating high GPU utilization.
Talk #3: Empowering developers with AI-powered 'done-for-you' experiences
Speaker: Pavan Kaipa
Abstract: Intuit is revolutionizing developer productivity by seamlessly integrating AI-powered "done-for-you" experiences into its development workflows. This presentation unveils Intuit's patent-pending agentic platform, designed to address a critical hurdle in developer productivity. By leveraging cutting-edge AI, our platform automates knowledge creation, delivering "done-for-you" insights and resources directly to capability teams. You'll see how it empowers developers with proactive support, reduces knowledge gaps, and accelerates development cycles. I'm excited to share how we're building a future where AI helps developers focus on what they do best: innovating!
