Generative AI (GenAI) and large language models (LLMs) are becoming ubiquitous in businesses across sectors, increasing productivity, driving competitiveness and positively impacting companies bottom lines. However, as LLMs and GenAI become deeply integrated into your critical operations and decision-making processes, adversaries can exploit subtle vulnerabilities to manipulate your model outputs to coerce unauthorized behaviors or compromise sensitive information.
Speaker: Ben Epstein, Stealth Founder & CTO | Tony Karrer, Founder & CTO, Aggregage
When tasked with building a fundamentally new product line with deeper insights than previously achievable for a high-value client, Ben Epstein and his team faced a significant challenge: how to harness LLMs to produce consistent, high-accuracy outputs at scale. In this new session, Ben will share how he and his team engineered a system (based on proven software engineering approaches) that employs reproducible test variations (via temperature 0 and fixed seeds), and enables non-LLM evaluation m

Organizations are increasingly using multiple large language models (LLMs) when building generative AI applications. Although an individual LLM can be highly capable, it might not optimally address a wide range of use cases or meet diverse performance requirements. The multi-LLM approach enables organizations to effectively choose the right model for each task, adapt to different domains, and optimize for specific cost, latency, or quality needs.

Training a frontier model is highly compute-intensive, requiring a distributed system of hundreds, or thousands, of accelerated instances running for several weeks or months to complete a single job. For example, pre-training the Llama 3 70B model with 15 trillion training tokens took 6.5 million H100 GPU hours. On 256 Amazon EC2 P5 instances (p5.48xlarge, each with 8 NVIDIA H100 GPUs), this would take approximately 132 days.
