New models and tools come out every week, yet in companies many generative AI projects stay experiments. In this edition of Talks On My Machine we talked about taking them to production.

We covered:

Semantic search: how splitting documents into chunks decides the relevance of RAG answers
AI inference on Kubernetes: deploying and scaling models in production, on-premise and in the cloud
AI in the designer’s work: how AI tools change the design process
A critical view: open source AI, reliability, uncertainty and testing of agent-based applications

The program.

Four talks and audience questions, from 9:30 to 13:00.

9:30–9:45
Introduction
Brian Atzori
Opening and welcome
9:45–10:30
Software, Uncertainty, and Generative AI: Toward New Development Practices
Enrico Zimuel
Generative AI as a support tool and as a software system component. Advantages, limits, reliability, and testing of agent-based applications.
10:30–11:15
Deploy, Scale, Serve: Managing AI Inference Engines on Kubernetes
Daniele Monti & Andrea Panisson
State of the art of AI model deployment on Kubernetes with kubernetes-sigs/lws and vLLM. On-premise and cloud implementation for regulatory compliance.
11:15–12:00
Smart Chunks, Better Search
Roberto Peruzzo
Chunking as a critical element for RAG. Tools (PyPDFParser, MarkItDown, Unstructured.io, Marker) and strategies (fixed size, semantic, sliding window).
12:00–12:45
AI as Strategic Co-pilot: Toward a New Augmented Design
Davide Salvadori
Generative AI as a co-pilot for designers. New processes, automation, and optimization of design decisions.
12:45–12:55
