From keynote insights to hands-on learning, Meta brought the future of open-source AI to the AI Dev 25 stage. 🔹 Chaya Nayak shared Meta’s vision for Llama’s capabilities, developer tools, and the power of open-source collaboration. 🔹 Amit Sangani led a deep dive into Llama models, Llama Stack, and Trust & Safety tools, showing how developers can build responsibly with open AI. A huge thank you to Meta for sponsoring AI Dev 25 and for their contributions to open source!

Perplexity released DeepSeek-R1 1776, an updated version of a model originally developed for China. This new version removes the political censorship built into the original, making it more useful outside China. The fine-tuning process involved removing blocks on politically sensitive content by training the model on curated question-answer pairs. Despite the modifications, performance on key benchmarks remained nearly identical. Learn more in The Batch: https://hubs.la/Q03cwZXf0

What a day at DeepLearning.AI's AI Dev 25! Vectara had an incredible time connecting with some of the brightest minds in AI at DeepLearning.AI’s first-ever developer summit. From engaging discussions on cutting-edge AI applications to showcasing how secure, accurate, and bias-resistant GenAI can transform enterprise search—AI Dev 25 was packed with innovation. And to top it all off… Andrew Ng himself stopped by the Vectara booth! It was an honor to share how Vectara is pushing the boundaries of trustworthy AI with one of the most influential voices in the field. A huge thanks to DeepLearning.AI for hosting such a fantastic event and to everyone who visited our booth. #Vectara #GenAI #RAGaaS #Conference #LLMs #DeepLearning #AndrewNg #AICommunity

DeepLearning.AI's AI Dev conference last week was probably my best talk and conference experience to date. It was truly a practitioner's conference and it reflected in the main talks as well as the "hallway" track. ⭐ While this was already enough to make it a great experience, interacting with Andrew Ng and having him within hearing distance of me doing my talk was absolutely surreal. Like many others, I started my machine learning journey by taking Andrew's free online courses. From that to this feels like a full circle moment. This conference also made me reflect on my past year as a Developer Advocate. While this role can feel a bit thankless, given how often we put ourselves out there and make ourselves vulnerable to any and all sorts of comments and feedback, days like these make this job so rewarding and worth it! ✨ I'm so grateful to Richmond Alake, Matt Asay, and Shane McAllister for making this possible, to Toni Bird for documenting this wonderful day, and for the kind folks in the audience who cheered me on and snapped me out of my nervousness when I opened my talk with the above anecdote. Safe to say, I'll be back at this conference!

EN I participated in the AI Developer Conference in San Francisco, a meeting that brought together over 400 developers and AI professionals. The event included lectures, interactive panels, technical workshops, and live demos that presented new ideas and trends in the field. I thank Andrew Ng for the great event and the DeepLearning.AI courses, which use a simple and effective approach, It was very satisfying to meet him in person. It was also a privilege to meet João (Joe) Moura, who is doing exceptional work with CrewAI in the field of AI Agents.
