In this event welcome keynote, let us take a look at how we can approach upskilling and ideating solutions with AI capabilities and leverage Google Cloud in the journey. I'll introduce the audience to various Google Cloud AI services and resources while giving an overview of the event to the audience, so that they can make the best of GCCD Kolkata 2024.

In this session, we'll explore the vast landscape of Generative AI (GenAI) related offerings on Google Cloud. There is something on Google Cloud that you can use whether you are building prototypes trying to prove your use case, or building GenAI apps for production using advanced RAG and agentic patterns. We'll dive into the various products and services available, and how to choose the right product for your use case. Join us as we walk through the capabilities of each product, compare their features, and provide guidance on how to get going with GenAI on Google Cloud.

This session presents a workflow to improve the performance of a small language model by teaching it to mimic the output of a gated language model by using distillation techniques. The workflow is general enough to be plug-and-play into existing systems that benefit from small language models.

The default security settings of a Kubernetes deployment is not hardened and fine tuned for security. My session intends to walk through what enhancements and config changes can be done to make it robust and ready for production. Session will start as usual by setting the tempo on general cloud security and general take-away before diving specifically into the above mentioned categories that can be hardened.

We will build an agentic application with AlloyDB & Vertex AI agents. Bring your data & build an intelligent assistant with Generative AI models, RAG and agents for your e-commerce customers.

Understanding how to create a better workload environment on GCP by using methods to conduct risk analysis on the environment and implementing best practice/industry standards utilizing open source toolsets and GenAI capabilities integrating with existing GCP services and resources.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have become indispensable tools across industries, but their immense power also presents significant security risks. This talk focuses on the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, a critical framework for identifying and mitigating the most prevalent threats to these systems. We will delve into specific attack vectors such as prompt injection, data poisoning, model theft, and privacy breaches, providing real-world examples and practical defense strategies. By understanding these vulnerabilities and implementing robust countermeasures, organizations can build secure and trustworthy LLM applications. This talk aims to equip attendees with the knowledge and tools to protect their LLMs and LLM powered applications from the most dangerous threats.

It's time to say bye-bye to naive/vanilla RAG systems where we could easily plug in our sample clean data to query using LLM. Several parameters are needed to upgrade from PoC to production, where performance is a key factor in achieving enhanced results. Search and retrieval systems need proper data preprocessing before being ingested into vector databases. Let us head over to take up a few building blocks to set up such an advanced RAG pipeline that can be deployed and scaled in real-time. Implementing robust and performant RAG systems is the industry's next big goal. Handling multiple operations along with low latency capabilities could present challenges. AI agents have been handy for automating such routing tasks. Observatory tools are the next step for scalability factors, allowing LLM debugging on each encountered step of such workflows. The stack trace helps with app session handling and a deep dive into inferencing flow and outcome. This helps uniquely implement and augment LLMs in large knowledge bases. Manage and control the data to make informed decisions for your business use cases across BFSI, legal, healthcare, and other domains.

Join this lightning talk to discover how to streamline your Flutter app development using Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD). We'll start with a brief introduction to Flutter and highlight the latest updates. Then, we'll dive into CI/CD, explaining its importance and how it can enhance your development workflow. Learn about Fastlane, a powerful tool to automate your app deployment, and see how it can save you time and effort. By the end of this session, you'll have a practical understanding of how to integrate Fastlane with your Flutter projects, ensuring your apps are built and deployed efficiently and reliably. This talk is perfect for beginners looking to elevate their Flutter development skills.

In the fast-paced world, making the right technology decisions can be the difference between rapid growth and costly setbacks. Join us for an insightful session on "Optimizing Cloud for Cost-Effective & Faster Solution Deployment," where we'll dive into the strategies and best practices that can help your startup leverage the full potential of cloud computing. Whether you're a technical founder, CTO, or a part of a lean development team, this talk will equip you with the knowledge and tools to make smarter cloud decisions, driving both cost efficiency and rapid deployment for your startup's solutions.

Speaker session by our GDE Rishiraj Acharya. In this talk, he'll introduce the JAX library by building a Vector Database (VectorDB) from scratch. He'll explore JAX's core features and see how they can be used to efficiently implement a VectorDB. He'll then demonstrate how to use the VectorDB to perform Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with the Gemini model, enhancing language models with external knowledge. Attendees will gain practical insights into JAX and its applications in building VectorDBs for knowledge-enhanced natural language processing tasks.
