Fun and informative fall virtual events with OPEA!

OPEA’s mission is to offer validated enterprise-grade GenAI reference implementations, simplifying development and deployment thereby accelerating time-to-market and a realization of business value. Join us one of the virtual events we are hosting this fall!

OCTOBER

GenAI Nightmares – October 31st, 2024, 12PM PT – 3PM PT

Enter if you dare…this won’t be your usual community event, no, this time we want to hear what horrors you have come up against in the GenAI world. Has your model drifted to Transylvania? Do you have as much privacy as Frankenstein’s monster in his lab? Are werewolves plaguing your security?

Terrifying tales to include:

The Fallback Mechanism: Haunting Errors in RAG (Bilge Yucel & Jay Wilder |Developer Relations Engineer & VP of Marketing | Deepset.ai)

In RAG systems, sometimes the data vanishes, retrievers fail, or LLMs falter, leaving you with the chilling response: “The answer is not provided in the given context.” But fear not! With a clever fallback mechanism, you can catch these ghostly errors before they haunt your system. In this session, learn how a simple tweak in your prompt can detect failures, and how Haystack can help you trigger corrective actions. Don’t let your AI become a ghost in the machine—ensure smooth performance even in the darkest moments.

Gen AI Fright Night (Thierry Damiba | Data Scientist & Developer Advocate | Qdrant)

In this presentation I am going to show you how spooky image generation can be. Images that look realistic but don’t quite hit the mark tend to elicit strong reactions from most people. Let’s take a look at some scary pictures and figure out how to make some pictures that won’t scare the kids.

Tales from the (AI) Cryptkeeper: The Nightmares of AI Security (Jim St Clair)

As Generative AI technologies rapidly evolve and become more prevalent across industries, they bring NIGHTMARES of security challenges that force information security professionals TO FACE THEIR FEARS! This session explores the gruesome security landscape of Generative AI systems, covering potential graveyards of vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and how to safely whistle through the cemetery! Attendees will gain insights into the latest research on AI security, practical approaches to securing Generative AI models and applications, and the ethical considerations surrounding AI security.

We will also announce Hackathon winners at this scary get together.

OPEA Hackathon – All of October

A fun-filled month-long event series that get you contributing to GenAI open source during Hacktober, building up the OPEA project, and adding to your own open source resume!

Do you have experience in deploying applications to hyperscalers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud? How about packaging them and publishing on package repositories like Canonical? Get these applications up and running on a k8s cluster? This hackathon is for you!

We’d like your help in creating GenAI solutions that will deploy Open Platform for Enterprise AI (OPEA) samples across these deployment targets. Write the code and instructions for other developers to be able to repurpose. Help us add more docs and clean existing ones. Map out use cases for different industries.

Open issues to include:

Deployment to compute platforms
Validation and hardening of OPEA samples with
Use case development
Deployment automation scenarios
Documentation creation and editing

We expect more right up until the start of the event! Check out the latest list here labeled ‘OPEAHack’

NOVEMBER 21st

Demo-palooza 2

This event is another opportunity to see OPEA in action, so you can do it yourself! Your creativity is the limit. Check out Demo-palooza 1 here.

DECEMBER

Speed Coding and Documentation Extravaganza

OPEA could use your help in improving documentation. Let’s hang out and try to tackle some of it to advance OPEA and make it more accessible for all.

Previous event videos and slides are available on the OPEA wiki!

Code of Conduct

The Linux Foundation and its project communities are dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for participants at all of our events, whether they are held in person or virtually. Linux Foundation events are working conferences intended for professional networking and collaboration within the open source community. They exist to encourage the open exchange of ideas and expression and require an environment that recognizes the inherent worth of every person and group. While at Linux Foundation events or related ancillary or social events, any participants, including members, speakers, attendees, volunteers, sponsors, exhibitors, booth staff and anyone else, should not engage in harassment in any form.
