6 pm Pacific Time (PT) Prompt Engineering: Making the most out of LLMsSynopsis: Speakers are the authors of <a href="https://www.manning.com/books/prompt-engineering-in-action.(There" target="_blank" title="https://www.manning.com/books/prompt-engineering-in-action.(There">https://www.manning.com/books/prompt-engineering-in-action.(There will be a raffle for five free books to be given away to the selected in-person attendees. All attendees will get a special discount code to purchase the book. Other than that, the speakers assure that the presentation will not discuss the book in any way or <a href="http://form.)LLMs" target="_blank" title="form.)LLMs">form.)LLMs are in every part of our lives. They play a vital role in increasing productivity, improving creativity, and bridging the technology gap between different industries. Hard-to-optimize problems have today become when to optimize because the technology is readily available. In this talk, we will look at different aspects of Prompt Engineering, including templates, techniques, and patterns that you can use while interacting with models. We will also walk through advanced techniques such as RAG and show how implementing these can solve some limitations and real-world problems that we face today. LLMs are transforming industries by enhancing productivity, fostering creativity, and bridging technological gaps. As AI capabilities expand, the challenge is no longer whether problems can be optimized but how to optimize effectively. This talk explores the principles of Prompt Engineering, covering key templates, techniques, and patterns to enhance model interactions. We will dive into advanced strategies like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and show their real-world applications in overcoming LLM <a href="http://limitations.Attendees" target="_blank" title="limitations.Attendees">limitations.Attendees will walk away with actionable insights to harness the full potential of LLMs in their <a href="http://workflows.---------------------------------------------------------------7" target="_blank" title="workflows.---------------------------------------------------------------7">workflows.---------------------------------------------------------------7 pm (PT) Hands-on Workshop: Building Advanced AI Applications and AgentsThis workshop offers a comprehensive and hands-on experience in building advanced AI applications and AI agents. We will use the state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision Language Models(VLMs) to explain the process. Participants will explore practical techniques to leverage these powerful models for tasks such as Natural Language Understanding (NLU), Natural Language Processing (NLP), decision-making, text/image generation, and task automation. This workshop enables attendees to understand the essential topics, including open-source package requirements in Python, model selection, fine-tuning, and integrating external data sources. The session covers the design and implementation of AI agents by utilizing open-source models like Llama for tuning parameters and deploying real-world AI solutions. Emphasis will be placed on architecture design, training optimization, scalability, efficiency, and ethical considerations. The workshop will adapt its use case and model selection (e.g., language agent vs. vision agent) based on the audience's background to ensure the relevance and effectiveness of the session. By the end of the session, participants will have the foundational knowledge and skills to effectively create and deploy full-stack AI applications and agents tailored to their fields of <a href="http://interest.Notes:-" target="_blank" title="interest.Notes:-">interest.Notes:- $3 registration is mainly to prevent food wastage because of casual registrations and <a href="http://no-shows.-" target="_blank" title="no-shows.-">no-shows.- We are unable to accommodate food preferences.

Power-Efficient Short-Reach Electrical Links for the AI Era
Power-Efficient Short-Reach Electrical Links for the AI Era
Data center, compute, and AI applications continue to demand higher bandwidth from electrical interconnects. The volume of short-reach links (less than a few cm) has exploded to facilitate high-bandwidth data movement between compute engines and memory in the AI era. This massive growth will continue as the industry moves towards highly-parallelized die-to-die interfaces to support chiplet-based architectures. However, power efficiency in these links is of paramount importance to maintain reasonable power levels within a compute drawer. This talk will focus on trends and advancements in power-efficient short reach links that aim to maximize the shoreline bandwidth density. Multi-disciplinary approaches involving circuit innovations, architectural advancements, data signaling techniques, and packaging technologies are required to deliver linear bandwidth densities above 1 Tbps/mm at power efficiencies below 500 fJ/<a href="http://bit.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="bit.Speaker(s):">bit.Speaker(s): Tod Dickson, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/481111
