Canonical AI Roadshow at World AI Summit

World AI Summit gathers the global AI ecosystem, talking about the latest innovations from the industry, the biggest challenges that enterprises face or groundbreaking stories about AI.

Our team of experts will travel to Amsterdam as part of the Canonical AI Roadshow to give talks about large language models (LLMs), deliver a joint workshop with NVIDIA and answer your questions about AI, machine learning operations (MLOps) and open source. From genAI to predictive analytics, we will showcase a wide variety of demos for different industries. 

Bonus: Everyone who visits our booth can interact with a conversational assistant, similar to ChatGPT, built fully with open source components, to learn more about Ubuntu and Canonical. 

Build your LLM factory with NVIDIA and Canonical

Building an AI factory requires both powerful hardware and an integrated suite of tools. An AI factory should empower enterprises to run AI at scale, enabling professionals to collaboratively develop and deploy machine learning models. NVIDIA and Canonical put together an end-to-end solution to simplify these activities, addressing the entire ML lifecycle.
Michael Balint, Senior Manager at NVIDIA, Maciej Mazur, AI/ML Principal engineer and myself put together an exciting workshop to tackle building an AI factory using open source tooling. We will zoom into a use case that showcases large language models on DGX, with Charmed Kubeflow and NGC containers.

LLMs from 0 to hero

Large language models (LLMs) are gaining popularity. Maciej Mazur and myself will deliver a session on automating LLM fine-tuning and developing chat-based and multimodal model assistants. He will highlight the potential of LLMs within different industries, touching upon common pitfalls and how to overcome them.

This is a technical deep dive into large language models, which will refer to open source tooling such as Kubeflow, MLFlow or Spark. At the end of this talk, you will know how to use LLMs and open source, and have a better understanding of the major challenges that they have.
