Hey folks! I know it's been a while, I've been busy running some IRL events. I wanted to share some talk recordings from two events we hosted recently(ish):
AI in Prod was an event we hosted with Bessemer in NYC because I wanted to see talks about the messy process of taking an AI app from a cool demo to something that works at scale -- infrastructure, data quality, performance monitoring, ongoing training, etc.
Talks:
- Ben Reilly - Athena Intelligence on deploying multi-modal agents.
- Nicholas Khami - Trieve on scaling RAG to 1.2B vectors with <100ms latency
- Hiba Awad - Sheer Health on Building AI for health care
- Tom MacWright - Val.town on building a code-writing robot and keeping it happy
Browsertech.wasm SF was the SF version of our NYC Wasm event recapped in my previous digest post.
Talks:
- Robert Aboukhalil at OMGenomics
- Oliver Medhurst of Porffor
- Steve Manuel at Dylibso
- David Mytton at Arcjet
- Sean Isom at Renderlet
That's a wrap on events for 2024! In 2025, we're planning to host some more Local Thirst events with talks, likely in NYC and SF to start. If you have something on topic (broadly: local-first software, sync engines, CRDTs, etc.) that you'd like to talk about, here's a mini RFP.
