Presentation: While much of recent AI research and development has focused on individual models, the current state of the art in functionality is being delivered not with a monolithic, all-powerful model, but rather, with compound AI systems. We'll discuss how you can implement these compound systems, including stateful applications, RAG and agents, along with straightforward strategies for evaluating and improving quality, performance, and safety.
