Over 1400 people registered for yesterday's "NLP with ChatGPT (and other LLMs)" conference that I hosted in the O'Reilly Media platform. Kudos to speakers Sinan, Melanie and Shaan for making it a smashing success 🎉
This screenshot is a taste of what it looked like from inside the broadcasting platform, captained flawlessly by producers Joan Baker and Nurul Ishak, PMP.
The presenters each spent 30 minutes presenting on their topics and then engaged in riveting Q&A with the highly engaged attendees:
• Sinan Ozdemir: The A.I. entrepreneur and author introduced the theory behind Transformer Architectures and LLMs like BERT, T5, and GPT.
• Melanie Subbiah: A first author on the original GPT-3 paper, she led interactive demos of the broad range of capabilities of LLMs like ChatGPT.
• Shaan Khosla: A data scientist on my team at Nebula.io, he detailed practical tips on training, validating, and productionizing LLMs hands-on in Python.
I've heard word that, unusually for a live event in O'Reilly, the footage of this conference will be made available as a video within the platform. Stay tuned for details!
