โ€‹Join us for the next AI User Group Meetup where we will discuss the intricacies of what it takes to train an enterprise grade Multi Modal Large Language from scratch.

โ€‹Join us for an Agents and Compound AI Hackathon in San Francisco!

โ€‹Agents are often seen as advanced, autonomous, and human-like systems. But what exactly defines an agent? In essence, an agent is a system that uses a Large Language Model (LLM) to determine the control flow of an application. The more an LLM dictates the system's behavior, the more "agentic" it becomes. The autonomous capabilities of agents will enable new, innovative applications.

โ€‹Agents are a fantastic example of compound AI. Compound AI systems donโ€™t just use a single mega model, they combine multiple interacting components, such as retrievers, tools and specialized models.

โ€‹This hackathon is your chance to collaborate, innovate, and push the boundaries of what's possible with agents and compound AI. Some of the greatest LLM and agent hackers will gather in one space to explore and create. We can't wait to see what you come up with!
