Barcelona MLOps Community #02
After a long hiatus we came back! This time we have 2 star-presenters and generative AI couldn’t be absent.
Presentations:
Enabling Innovation: The Journey of Building Our GenAI Platform
João Faria Data Science Manager from OLX
Building a Generative AI platform is an ongoing journey that requires a blend of cutting-edge technology, innovative thinking, and a deep understanding of user needs. In this talk, we will take you through our ongoing process of creating a platform that aims to revolutionize the way we interact with AI. From the initial concept to our current progress, we have faced challenges and learned invaluable lessons. We will discuss the technical hurdles, the importance of user-centric design, and the strategies we are employing to ensure our platform will be both powerful and accessible. Additionally, we will showcase some exciting use-cases enabled by our platform, demonstrating its potential to transform our industry. Join us as we explore the intricacies of building a GenAI platform and share insights on how to foster innovation in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence.
The Illogical Logic of Agents: Why Agents are Stupid and What We Can Do About It
Daniel Jeffries President at Kentauros AI
If you think AGI is just around the corner, try building an agent.
Today's frontier models often feel like idiot children, capable of brilliant superhuman replies and at the same time making absurd logical errors, and lacking any common sense. Even worse, those errors pile up, making them unreliable.
AI Agents hold the incredible potential to change how we work, learn and play. But any company working in agents quickly realizes they’re incredibly hard to build, to make reliable and to generalize. Instead, most teams have shifted to building narrow agents that they can scope to a particular problem with lots of glue code, heuristics and prompt engineering.
In this talk we’ll take a look at why agents are so challenging to build, what we can do about it and whether just when they’ll live up to the hype of doing complex, open ended tasks in the real world
