Students will work through a hands-on mini-project that brings the entire AI prototyping workflow to life: Starting with a foundation model API (large language model), integrating an orchestration tool like LangChain or LlamaIndex to handle prompts and data retrieval, storing and querying user-generated data in a vector database such as ChromaDB or Pinecone, and finally delivering an interactive interface via Streamlit or Gradio. By working through each piece of this stack, participants will gain practical experience deploying a simple, yet complete AI-powered application—reinforcing core concepts…
This private, peer-only session will address the urgent reality that quantum computing is advancing faster than anticipated. This is exemplified by breakthroughs like Amazon’s Ocelot, Microsoft’s Majorana 1, Google’s Willow, IBM’s Heron R2, Zuchongzhi-3, Intel’s Tunnel Falls Next, Rigetti’s Aspen-M2, and Quantinuum’s Helios-Q. These innovations signal the rapid approach of a quantum-powered future. On the downside, as hackers and rogue nation entities harvest passwords awaiting “Q-Day,” the window to secure digital assets is closing. This roundtable will confront and discuss the following pressing questions: How…
