Building a Petabyte-Scale Vector Store: Powering Future AGI Host - Patrick McFadin Thursday, October 12th 11am PT - 12pm PT A laptop proof of concept won’t cut it for this impending era of generative AI. Let’s dig into the mechanics of building and using a petabyte-scale vector store and the future of handling data in generative AI models. This talk will focus on the work in the Apache Cassandra® project to develop a vector store capable of handling petabytes of data, discussing why this capacity is critical for future AI applications. We will also connect how this pertains to the exciting new generation of AI technologies like Improved Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and Forward-Looking Active Retrieval Augmented Generation (FLARE) that all contribute to the growing need for such scalable solutions. Finally, we’ll discuss the importance of planning for future scalability and how to effectively manage AI agents in this new age of data. This session provides you with the insights necessary to plan and scale your AI applications effectively, helping you start on the right foot today to reap the benefits tomorrow. |

The GenAI Stack - from zero to database-backed Support Bot Host - Andreas Kollegger Tuesday, October 17th 8am PT - 9am PT With the breakthrough of large language models, adding generative AI capabilities to your applications is now possible for every developer. But where to start? In a partnership between Docker, Neo4j, LangChain, and Ollama we created a GenAI App Dev Stack for building database-backed GenAI applications. Just with a single "docker-compose up", you get them up and running and can start importing data and creating vector embeddings as well as using an example chatbot application to answer natural language questions using a combination of a Large Language Model and a Knowledge Graph. In this session, we will look behind the scenes into the containers of the App Dev Stack, how they work together and how the LangChain and Streamlit Python apps are implemented. We will use data from Stackoverflow, so you can fetch topics that you're interested in. This should give you the setup, confidence and convenience to get going with your first applications that use large language models. |

Set up a Llama2 endpoint for your LLM app in OctoAI Wednesday, October 25th 10am PT - 11am PT Learn how to set up your own Llama2 endpoint in OctoAI to build a simple LLM application using the RAG framework. The OctoML team will walk through how to clone a model template to create your own endpoint, define your cost, latency, and hardware preferences, and test your LLM in a sample application. |

Create your own Docker Extension Tuesday, October 31st 9am PT - 10am PT This is your opportunity to build something unique and custom to your needs. Throughout the session, we'll dive into the various ways you can extend Docker to suit your unique needs. Whether you're interested in integrating third-party tools, enhancing Docker Desktop functionalities, or experimenting with Docker Compose, this workshop has something for you. By the end of the workshop, you'll know how Docker Extensions work and have gained practical skills in creating them, empowering you to implement customized solutions in your own projects. Everyone can attend this workshop, regardless of their Docker experience. Join us for a unique experience to work with the Docker Extensions team. We can't wait to see what you'll create! |
