[ADCES]Azure OpenAI’s GPT-4V(ision) and DALL-E 3 & Testing at scale

Presentation 1: Vision Meets Fashion: Crafting Watch Aesthetics with Azure OpenAI’s GPT-4V(ision) and DALL-E 3
Description:
In this increasingly digitized era, the fusion of artificial intelligence and design is reshaping creative industries. This talk provides a practical exploration of this synergy, with a focus on enhancing watch designs (or just picking the “right” watch strap) using advanced AI technology.
Participants will be guided through a hands-on demonstration of analyzing a watch face with Azure OpenAI’s GPT-4 Vision, for identifying design attributes. Leveraging these insights, attendees will learn how to generate suitable strap ideas and designs that complement the watch’s aesthetics using the same AI.
The session will pivot towards actualizing these designs with DALL-E 3, demonstrating the model’s capability to render realistic images of watches with the new straps. Attendees will observe the Python code in action, gaining insights into how these powerful models can be controlled and utilized for design prototyping.
This session is designed for those interested in the practical application of AI in design, as well as developers and hobbyists eager to understand how to integrate such models into their Python projects. Attendees will gain firsthand experience in using state-of-the-art AI to bridge the gap between conceptualization and visualization in the design process, leaving the talk with actionable skills and knowledge.

Presentation 2: Testing at scale – how to test when you go globally with a fleet of thousands of machines
Description: There are multiple types of tests we’d like to run – unit tests, end-to-end tests, manual tests, A/B tests. How should we organize them so they are fast and reliable?
What to do if we need to handle GDPR-protected data? How to run those tests when we have thousands of machines handling the traffic? How to rollback?
In this talk we’ll see how to build a real-life end-to-end testing pipeline used in biggest companies in the world. We’ll start with unit tests running locally in milliseconds, go through correctness tests, regression tests, performance tests, security tests, and finally end with A/B tests proving that our code is not only correct but also provides better experience for the customers. All of that based on experience with desktop, mobile, service, and machine learning domains at biggest companies.

[ADCES] Redis & Microsoft Semantic Kernel

Azi , 14 noiembrie 2023, ora 19:30 ,  va fi un nou meetup ADCES despre

Redis & Microsoft Semantic Kernel

Presentation 1: Introduction to Redis
Description: Nice and gently introduction in Redis practice
Presenter: Marius Sorin Stratulat,https://www.linkedin.com/in/smariussorin

Presentation 2: Beyond Clicks: Unleashing the Power of Microsoft Semantic Kernel for a Semantic Interface in API Communication – A Deep Dive into the GPT-4 Powered Robot Car Demo
Description: Microsoft Semantic Kernel (SK) is a new technology that enables the integration of AI Large Language Models (LLMs) with conventional programming languages like C#, Python and Java. SK brings together several key components to provide planning and execution capabilities. These components include a robust kernel that provides the foundation for all other components, plugins (formerly known as skills) for performing specific tasks, connectors for interfacing with external systems, memories for storing information about past events, steps for defining individual actions, and pipelines for organizing complex multi-stage plans. We will explore how to build a semantic interface for an existing API (controlling a Car Robot) using plugins and execution plans containing semantic and native functions.

[ADCES]Polly & Infrastructure as Code in Azure

Presentation 1 : Introduction in Polly
Description: Polly is a .NET resilience and transient-fault-handling library that allows developers to express policies such as Retry, Circuit Breaker, Timeout, Bulkhead Isolation, Rate-limiting and Fallback in a fluent and thread-safe manner.
Presented by : Andrei Ignat, http://msprogrammer.serviciipeweb.ro/

Presentation 2: Infrastructure as Code in Azure: ARM vs Terraform vs bicep
Description : Când vine vorba de a crea infrastructura în cloud într-un mod automat, limbajele de Infra-as-Code devin normalitatea. Iar in Azure, cele mai folosite metode sunt ARM templates, Terraform sau Bicep. Dar care sunt diferentele între aceste metode? Cum decidem pe care și când le folosim? În această sesiune vom analiza plusurile și minusurile fiecărei metode, demonstrându-le caracteristicile live, prin crearea unor resurse în Azure.
