Tech Talk 1: Prompts to Pixels with Diffusers
Speakers: Steven Liu, HuggingFace
About this talk: This talk introduces the Diffusers library, an open-source toolkit for running and customizing diffusion models like Flux. Learn how diffusion models start from pure noise and transform it into images or videos and why prompting matters. We'll end with a live demo on Hugging Face Spaces where we prompt a model together and generate images or input images and generate other images.
Tech Talk 2: Build Production-Ready Async AI Agents with Numaflow
Speakers: Sriharsha Yayi and Balachandra Maddina, Intuit
About this talk: We will use open-source Numaproj to build asynchronous AI Agents. Tackling one of our biggest Accounting Agent applications, learn how event-driven architecture decouples high-latency LLM calls to prevent system blocking. We'll end with a live demo where we set up a pipeline, send an event to a Kafka topic, and watch responses in the logs.
Come meet fellow engineers and builders, explore what’s being built at Intuit and beyond, and connect with the open-source community.
Hope to see you there!
