@andymckay Any thoughts?

Thanks for the ping @nth10sd this got totally lost in my GitHub notifications.

Thanks @jazzatjane, that sounds great. I just want to check that there's a Python angle in there, beyond a general AI talk? Some of the words like tooling, sound like it might be Python related. Just want to check its relevant to the group.

If so, April sound awesome and we can tee you up.

LLM implementation is happening using Python libraries, think LangChain, and tooling on LLM observability, evaluation of LLM's, guardrails for alignment of AI, versioning of prompts etc is all in python. In today's world, python developers are better AI engineers than people who studied Deep Learning, because modelling is replaced by prompting.

Awesome, sounds great 🙇🏾 Give us a date in April, usually Tue-Thur works best and I'll see if the venue is available.
