Azure AI Foundry : Generative AI Development Hub

Azure AI Foundry provides user-friendly platforms that simplify the process of building Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. This session will guide you through building generative AI solutions using language models and prompt flow, enabling your applications to deliver meaningful value to users. Explore the Azure AI Foundry model catalog, which features a variety of open-source models, and learn how to select, deploy, and fine-tune a model to meet your specific needs.
Finally, explore how to evaluate and optimize your generative AI applications using Azure AI Studio. Learn techniques to test performance, refine user experiences, and ensure your applications deliver accurate responses consistently.

LLMOps: Operationalizing Large Language Models for the Real World

Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI GPT,/Groovy Google Gemini, and Databricks DBRX are transforming industries, but effectively deploying and managing them requires more than traditional machine learning practices. LLMOps is a specialized set of techniques, tools, and workflows designed to tackle the unique challenges of working with LLMs in production. This presentation will explore what makes LLMOps distinct, why its essential, and how it enables organizations to harness the power of LLMs efficiently, at scale, and with reduced risks.

Introduction to LLMOps: Overview of its components from data preparation to deployment and monitoring
MLOps to LLMOps: Key differences including computational demands, fine-tuning with human feedback, and prompt engineering
Challenges & Solutions: Addressing LLM-specific issues like inference cost, model drift, and hallucination
Best Practices: Insights into data prep, governance, CI/CD pipelines, and model monitoring
Platform Tools: Exploring platforms like MLflow and Databricks for effective LLMOps implementation

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with Azure AI Search

In this presentation, we will explore the concept of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and how it can leveraged particularly in the context of enterprise solutions. RAG architecture provides the ability to create generative AI to your own proprietary content, which ensure that the information used to generate responses is tailored to specific business needs.

The key to a successful RAG architecture is the information retrieval system, which determines the inputs to the LLM. We will discuss the critical requirements for this system, including scalable indexing strategies, relevant query capabilities, security, global reach, and seamless integration with embedding and chat/language models. Azure AI Search emerges as the ideal solution. Microsoft offers several built-in approaches for using Azure AI Search in a RAG solution, such as Azure AI Studio, Azure OpenAI Studio, and Azure Machine Learning. We will also explore a custom RAG pattern that gives you more control over the architecture. This pattern outlines a step-by-step process of sending the user's prompt to Azure AI Search, retrieving the most relevant information, and then passing it to the LLM to generate the final response.

By the end of this presentation, you will have a comprehensive understanding of how to leverage Azure AI Search within a RAG architecture, empowering you to build enterprise-grade generative AI solutions that harness the power of your own proprietary content.
