Open Source & AI - San Diego
Join us for an exciting exploration into the world of open source, platform engineering and AI! This meetup will feature engaging talks on key technologies and practices driving innovation.
🎤 Speaker Lineup & Talks:
Saniya Jaswani | AI Data Scientist
✨ LLM Inference at scale : How to optimize your GPU cost
Most teams obsess over model selection and fine-tuning, then get blindsided when the inference bill hits. A single poorly configured deployment can burn through hundreds of thousands of dollars before anyone notices. This session breaks down exactly how to prevent that.
We'll go from first principles then to decisions that make or break your production costs: GPU architecture selection, batching strategies, KV cache management, quantization tradeoffs, and throughput optimization for handling thousands of concurrent requests. You'll leave with a mental model for auditing your own inference stack and a practical checklist for cutting costs without sacrificing latency.
Ketan Reddy | Senior Staff Software Engineer @Intuit
✨ Player in the Agentic Age
During this talk we'll cover the ways that we're adapting Player and its tooling ecosystem for the every evolving agentic landscape. First on the Player side, an overview of how and why we added A2UI support to Player to allow support for multi-spec rendering to allow users to render agnatically generated content with their existing Player integration. On the tooling side we'll talk about the skills and MCPs we've been building to make it easier for agents to develop Player integrations and connect and interact with a running Player instance to assist in debugging at runtime.
*Player is an open-source, cross-platform server-driven UI framework developed by Intuit to dynamically render user experiences across web, iOS, and Android from a single semantic JSON payload
