This Event is designed for AI engineers, developers, and working professionals who want to understand the evolving AI model landscape and make informed decisions when building real-world AI applications.
Agenda
Welcome & Introduction to Indian Data Club
A brief introduction to the community, our mission, recent initiatives, and upcoming opportunities to learn, connect, and grow.
Icebreaker Activity
A short interactive activity to help participants connect with fellow professionals and share their experiences with different AI models.
Speaker Session 1
Topic: Model Capability vs Utilisation
Speaker: Harsha Vardhan, Experience Designer @ JPMorganChase
About the session:
Two people use the same AI Model. One gets sharp, useful answers; the other gets generic replies that miss the point. What's the difference? This session explores the overlooked skill behind great AI results
Speaker Session 2
Topic: Evaluate voice models beyond the benchmarks
Speaker: Gaurav Singh, SDE2 @ Murf AI
About the session:
Voice models may sound impressive in demos but face real-world challenges in production. Evaluate latency, naturalness, multilingual robustness, and inference costs beyond benchmark scores. Explore practical evaluation frameworks to identify trade offs, uncover failure modes, and choose the right model
Tea Break
Enjoy refreshments and connect with fellow attendees before the next session.
Speaker Session 3
Topic: Frontier vs Specialist AI Models
Speaker: Ramana Kumar, Software Engineer @ Silicon Labs
About the session:
Specialist AI models excel at specific tasks, while frontier models like GPT, Gemini, and Claude offer broader capabilities. Compare both across accuracy, cost, speed, and privacy on real world tasks. Discover where each performs best and learn how to choose the right model for your project.
Closing Remarks & Open Networking
Wrap up the session with key takeaways.
