Here's my notes and video for the keynote I gave at PyCon Italia ❤️ 🐍 🇮🇹 yesterday, "Closer to the Metal." The post itself is titled "don't worry about LLMs" and that's really what I was trying to get at with this talk. LLMs are a big topic and there is a lot of demand to build them quickly, but the space is very confusing and inflated with hype. How do we remove the hype and use LLMs to build things we need? We focus our attention on one thing at a time and use the practical engineering and machine learning skills we already have.
