GenAI Cracow #5
Welcome to the 5th Edition of GenAI Cracow Community extravaganza. We are here for all Generative AI practitioners
This edition aims for a relaxed atmosphere while maintaining technical content. So feel free to bring your +1, if they understand the basics of software engineering
Agenda
We know that networking is importnat, however, to provide you some icbreakers, we will have 3 sessions on agenda. Each session should take around 45 minutes.
Introduction to the Quantum Machine Learning by Paweł
Langchain 101: Building Generative AI Apps in python by Konrad
Discussion Panel: Future of AI - a practical look
Abstract
Introduction to the Quantum Machine Learning
In this talk, I will give an introduction to quantum machine learning. First, I will explain the basic concepts and algorithms of quantum computing, how it differs from the classical way of computing (using CPU or GPU), what can be the possible applications of quantum computing, and what are the biggest challenges in this field. Then, I will present the theory behind quantum machine learning algorithms and talk about their possible applications and state of the art. Finally, I will present some quantum computing and quantum machine learning frameworks and libraries, and show how to get started in this field and where to learn more.
Langchain 101: Building Generative AI Apps in python
Curious about Generative AI but not sure where to begin? Langchain makes it easier than ever to build AI products. In this talk, Konrad will explain the Langchain framework building blocks and why it stands out. You will learn how to mix and match components like prompts, models, retrievers, memory, and agents to build AI-powered applications that engage and delight your users.
Future of AI - a practical look
Media are flooded with false experts, contests on who will repost announcements first, LinkedIn chains, and a growing amount of poor-quality AI-generated content. Our panelists—Paweł, Konrad, and Grzegorz—will break this trend and share actionable insights and proven strategies. What Quantum Computing means for the Generative AI technology? Should we expect one boost in AI, similar to the current Generative AI hype? How this hype affected Data Scientists? Should we expect bigger LLMs or more private small language model?
