And just like that, HackFax - The GMU CS Club Hackathon, is over! It was truly a wonderful experience to lead the GMU Computer Science Club in hosting our largest event to date, with over 450 registrants! This endeavor was filled with countless ups and downs along the way, through hard work and dedication our team was able to pull through and have an extremely successful event! Special thank you to our sponsors, the CS Club team, and our keynote speaker Sajjaad Khader! Without them the vision for this event could have never panned out! This event went better than our greatest expectations, it was great to connect with students, industry professionals and many others! Thank you to everyone who made this weekend so special, keep an eye on HackFax - The GMU CS Club Hackathon, for the release of our mini-doc, pictures, videos, and information on projects responsible for cultivating the innovation that came from this weekend!

I've earned a new certification. HackerRank CSS Basic from HackerRank! Fun test.

I'd like to share thoughts on the high level process I am developing for use case discovery and deployment of Generative AI solutions. This is just a "brain dump" based on my hands on experience over the past few months. Please comment and share your thoughts on any of these things! This week at the NoVA Cyber Meetup we are going to try ethically and responsibly use an uncensored Mistral 7B open source LLM for offensive Cyber. Assemble an AI working group including executive sponsor, line of business, Legal, HR Finance, Security and Operations representatives.  Find AI experts that can help you develop your AI solution stack. Evaluate, prioritize and document use cases Write test prompts and review with the group Select and configure models (open source, Cloud, other) Select inference engine (local or Cloud based) Tune the inference engine (prompt templates, fine-tuning models, context sizing, prompt temperature, symmetry and other items) Expose API’s to apps Configure apps and Retrieval Augmented Generation pipelines (RAG) Deploy Dev environment Run uses cases and evaluate results Fine tune the model(s) and test results  Develop Legal and Cyber frameworks to govern usage of the Gen AI solution and apps (for customers and employees) Set prompt and response filtering and run guardrail tests Size GPU's and hosting environment (on premise or Cloud) Deploy with Kubernetes Develop RBAC policies & sysadmin skills to run the AI stack Deploy Observability solution Run load testing and system performance benchmarking Run model safety and bias checks as are applicable with your Legal & HR policies Design and deploy SIEM integration and alerting methods for chat prompt and response collection Financial modeling for running the use cases in Dev and Production Review all results with AI Governance team throughout the process Identify business risks arising from unpredictable model responses (Hallucinations). Deploy a pilot to customers and employees and evaluate the results Add more steps along the way to build in solution effectiveness, safety, security and compliance. Get plenty of rest and fluids. AI is a marathon, not a sprint… https://lnkd.in/esBHJqK4
