PRO SESSION (Dev Innovation): Creating Your Own LLM from Opensource Models
Wednesday November 6, 2024 9:30am - 9:55am PST
Sebastiano Galazzo, Seynapsia AI, Artificial intelligence researcher

From a "simple" finetuning to your own Mixture of Expert model using opensource models.
Nowadays training from scratch an LLM is a so huge effort also for very big company. Starting from pre-trained models to create your own model is no more a way for resourceless companies, but a often a must starting point.

PRO SESSION (Dev Innovation): You’re Not Hallucinating: How to Optimize AI Reliability with 100% Open Source Vector Databases
Wednesday November 6, 2024 10:00am - 10:50am PST
Anil Inamdar, Instaclustr by NetApp, Head of Data Solutions

For dev teams building and training their own AI models, ending up with AI solutions plagued by hallucinations and reliability issues is a (rightfully) huge concern. The good news: vector databases make generative AI considerably more reliable and less prone to hallucinations. The even better news: a number of *100% free and open source* vector databases are especially great options for supporting AI workloads.

The good news keeps coming for teams considering an open source vector database path: it isn’t necessary to invest in implementing new or exotic or proprietary or specialized data-layer solutions to harness vector databases. Many enterprises will find that their existing infrastructure can already support AI workloads (while continuing to provide the familiar data availability, scalability, and performance they already know they can trust). In particular, PostgreSQL (with the pgvector extension), OpenSearch, and Apache Cassandra 5.0 (with its new native vector indexing) are three completely open source technologies—no proprietary or open core solutions needed—that tick all the boxes for meeting enterprises’ AI workloads requirements.

Attendees of this Dev Innovation Summit session will learn how open source vector databases utilize vector embeddings to enable more accurate LLMs, and how to strategically approach and implement retrieval augmented generation (RAG) processes. Attendees will also come away with a clear understanding of the advantages offered by PostgreSQL with pgvector, OpenSearch and Cassandra 5.0 as particularly mature open source vector database strategies ready to jumpstart your organization’s competitive AI capabilities.

PRO SESSION (Dev Innovation): Rethinking Code Migration: Transforming a Costly Burden into a Competitive Edge
Wednesday November 6, 2024 11:30am - 11:55am PST
Alex Bit, Codemod, Founder & CEO

Obsolescence in tech is inevitable, making code migrations a necessary part of staying competitive. Yet, despite their potential benefits, the high costs often make these migrations unfeasible, leading businesses to delay them until they become critical for survival.
But what if migrations could deliver 10x the ROI and serve as a strategic advantage instead of an unavoidable cost?
In this talk, tailored for tech leaders, engineers, and business stakeholders, you’ll discover how tech giants like Meta break down and solve the challenges of code migration with effective tools and expertise—allowing them to innovate rapidly, even with very large and growing codebases. You’ll learn how to turn migrations into a powerful advantage for your team, too.

PRO SESSION (Dev Innovation): Meet The Web Framework From The Future
Wednesday November 6, 2024 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST
Dev Agrawal, Smart Data, Software Engineer

What would you envision your futuristic web framework to be like? What kind of properties would it have, and what would it enable for you?

For me, the future of web frameworks should be performant by default, developer friendly, minimal but flexible to business needs, and use both the client and the server runtimes to their maximum potential.

It’s a tough criteria, and most frameworks fail to meet a lot of these requirements. However, Solid Start is a relatively new framework that checks all of these boxes, aims for a very high ceiling, and has already inspired many popular frameworks to add similar features.

Let’s take a look at the shape of frameworks to come in this session by building a sample application with Solid Start, witness its incredible UX and DX capabilities, and how it compares to other frameworks like Next.js and Astro.

PRO SESSION (Dev Innovation): .NET Apps Everywhere, at 5X the Speed
Wednesday November 6, 2024 2:30pm - 2:55pm PST
Steve Bilogan, Uno Platform, Senior Engineer

Developing cross-platform applications is complex. Some frameworks allow us to share the business logic and some go further and allow us to share the UI layer. But even then – working with device hardware requires developers familiar with each target platform to maintain it and can still lead to error-prone platform-specific code.

What if you could write it all in either C# or XAML, from any dev environment, deploy to any platform, at 5x the speed, and have it all pixel-perfect without any lock-in? Enter Uno Platform, an open-source project enabling amazing dev productivity for building Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, and WebAssembly apps!

In this session, we will provide a brief overview of what Uno Platform is and how it works before we take a deep dive under the hood and see where the magic happens.

Simon Wijckmans, c/side, CEO

As developers, we continually put third-party code snippets into our organization’s websites to run features like chatbots, analytics, and payment gateways. However, these scripts have become a significantly increasing attack vector for cybercriminals—putting user data and businesses at risk. From the infamous British Airways breach to the recent Kaiser Permanente incident (and many more in between), the consequences of failing to secure these code vulnerabilities aren’t for the faint of heart.

In this Dev Innovation Summit session, we’ll dive deep into the unique challenges posed by the third-party code scripts that run behind the scenes in your user’s browsers. You’ll gain a technical understanding of how exactly these attacks occur and why they’ve been so difficult to monitor and secure.

With the AI craze taking over the world, a race is on to develop capable autonomous AI agents. For these agents to offer meaningful capabilities - they need to integrate with the outside world to get access to current information and be able to take actions on behalf of users. Two common approaches battle on for this - creating API integrations and using screen scraping. Each approach has advantages and risks - this session will introduce both approaches in depth, provide real world technical examples, and discuss when to choose which one!
