If you've worked in technology for longer than a couple of years, you'll have taken a ride on the architectural see-saw. After throwing out your monoliths with the proverbial bathwater and going all in on microservices, you decide that actually the microservices suck too and you're going back to the monolith. Every few years the trends seem to change with organizations switching architecture patterns when existing technology solutions don't quite fix what are often the business-derived problems of data ownership, access management, privacy, storage, and mapping. In this talk, I'll provide insight into backends for databases, and why many organizations are starting to create their own graphql-based data supergraph.

Join us for another enriching session in our Cassandra Lunch series, where we delve deeper into the world of Large Language Model (LLM) fine-tuning, building on the insights and discussions from our previous gathering. This session, the second in our series presented on QLoRA, is designed to unravel the complexities and nuances of fine-tuning methodologies with a special focus on the innovative QLoRA approach. In this expert-led discussion with Anant Senior Developer and HacDC President Obioma Anomnachi, we will dissect the distinctions between QLoRA and traditional LoRA, as well as full fine-tuning procedures, shedding light on the unique advantages and considerations of each method. Our exploration will not stop at theoretical knowledge; we'll dive into the practical aspects of the fine-tuning process, examining the structural blueprint of the training phase in detail. Prepare to engage with the intricacies of training arguments and learn how they can be strategically manipulated to tailor the fine-tuning process to meet specific objectives and enhance model performance. Whether you're aiming to deepen your existing expertise or eager to acquire cutting-edge knowledge in LLM fine-tuning, this session promises a wealth of information and insightful discussions. This Cassandra Lunch is more than just a presentation; it's an opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts and professionals, share knowledge, and explore the forefront of LLM fine-tuning.

Cassandra Lunch #138: LLM Fine Tuning with QLoRA - Training
This talk will introduce the fundamentals of a data lakehouse platform, focusing on its architecture, benefits, and the crucial role of Dremio in facilitating this modern approach to data management. We will explore the essence of data lakehouses, highlighting their capacity to store, manage, and analyze vast amounts of structured and unstructured data through a decoupled architecture that offers flexibility and scalability. The discussion will explore how Dremio, a leading data lakehouse platform, integrates various components into a cohesive system, making data lakehouses more accessible and manageable for businesses. Critical aspects of Dremio's functionality will be covered, including data integration and virtualization, performance acceleration features, and the creation of a semantic layer for self-service data governance. We will also examine lakehouse management features within Dremio, such as its Nessie-based data catalog with Git-like semantics, automated table optimization, and an intuitive user interface that enhances visibility and control over data management processes. Adopting data lakehouse platforms offers organizations unparalleled flexibility and efficiency in handling their data assets. By the end of this talk, attendees will have a comprehensive understanding of what a data lakehouse platform is, how it operates, and why platforms like Dremio are pivotal in harnessing the full potential of data for modern businesses.

What's AGI? How is it different from an Agent or an AI Assistant? If you're looking to understand how AI Agents/AGI can help your company, check this out. The "Agent" or "AGI" framework/app category is one of the largest spaces of current open-source innovation. How do you evaluate which projects could be useful to you. - Review of current AGI/Agent tools like AutoGPT, SuperAGI, SuperAgent, AgentGPT, Oh my! - Review of architectures of some of these Agents - Some Other updates (Libraries, Frameworks, Agents, LLMOps, etc) We're on the hunt for open source enterprise-ready LLM tools from applications, frameworks, and infrastructure tooling for finetuning or managing vector databases. We've short-listed close to 30 or so Agent/AGI Frameworks that are 100% open source and why they are worth looking at. We'll also review some of the new additions to the toolkit. This is not necessarily for a developer or engineer or a technical architect. If you're a product manager/project manager thinking about integrating AI/LLM into your enterprise, these evaluations can be shortcuts for your next prototype or proof of concept. #LLM #AI #lowcode #nocode #genAI #LLMecosystem #AGI #agent #LLMAgent Get today's slides here: https://www.slideshare.net/slideshows/konointelcraftweeklyaillmlandscape20240228pdf/266543701

Data Engineer's Lunch 107: Exploring the Apache Iceberg Ecosystem
In this hands-on workshop, participants will embark on a journey to construct their very own data lakehouse platform using their laptops. The workshop is designed to introduce and guide through the setup and utilization of three pivotal tools in the data lakehouse architecture: Dremio, Nessie, and Apache Iceberg. Each of these tools plays a crucial role in enabling the flexibility of data lakes with the efficiency and ease of use of data warehouses, aiming to simplify and economize data management. Participants will start by setting up a Docker environment to run all necessary services, including a notebook server, Nessie for catalog tracking with Git-like versioning, Minio as an S3-compatible storage layer, and Dremio as the core lakehouse platform. The workshop will provide a practical, step-by-step guide to federating data sources, organizing and documenting data, and performing queries with Dremio; tracking table changes and branching with Nessie; and creating, querying, and managing Apache Iceberg tables for an ACID-compliant data lakehouse. Prerequisites for the workshop include having Docker installed on your laptop. Attendees will be taken through the process of creating a docker-compose file to spin up the required services, configuring Dremio to connect with Nessie and Minio, and finally, executing SQL queries to manipulate and query data within their lakehouse. This immersive session aims not just to educate but to empower attendees with the knowledge and tools needed to experiment with and implement their data lakehouse solutions. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a functional data lakehouse environment on their laptops, enabling them to explore further and apply what they have learned to real-world scenarios. Whether you're looking to improve your data management strategies or curious about the data lakehouse architecture, this workshop will provide a solid foundation and practical experience.
