Workshop Highlights - Build AI Apps using Google AI Studio & Gemini AI

Harsh Dattani's ~60-minute walkthrough of Google AI Studio during the workshop "Build AI Apps using Google AI Studio & Gemini AI" provides all the essentials you need to get started.


Topics covered:
  • Google AI Studio -browser-based IDE for prototyping with generative models
  • Gemini AI - lets you access the latest generative models from Google
  • API key - prerequisite for building apps with Gemini AI
  • Prompt engineering
  • Prompt Gallery - examples of what's possible with Gemini models
  • Fine tuning - provides a mechanism for curating output when you have a small dataset of input/output examples
  • System Instructions - for developers to manage prompts 
  • idx.dev - cloud-based IDE for building Web, Android apps
Focus of the workshop is on the inner loop of software development

Google AI Studio provides several interfaces for prompts that are designed for different use cases


Google AI Studio is a good starting point for beginners and small-scale projects, while Vertex AI Studio is a more powerful and comprehensive platform for organizations with larger-scale machine learning needs.

The Gemini API “free tier” is offered through the API service with lower rate limits for testing purposes. Google AI Studio usage is completely free in all available countries.

Google AI Studio provides access to the following Models:
  1. Gemini 1.0 Pro
  2. Gemini 1.5 Pro
  3. Gemini 1.5 Pro Experimental 0827
  4. Gemini 1.5 Flash
  5. Gemini 1.5 Flash Experimental 0827
  6. Gemini 1.5 Flash 8B Experimental 0827
  7. Gemma 2 2B
  8. Gemma 2 9B
  9. Gemma 2 27B
Gemma is a family of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models built from the same research and technology used to create the Gemini models. 

Fine tuning adjusts a model weight to perform better on specific tasks by training it with your custom data.

Retrieval Augmented Generation or RAG improves responses (output) by combining the model's output with information pulled from external sources.

Maven Crash Course - Learn Power Query, Power Pivot & DAX in 15 Minutes

Image
In the Maven Crash Course " Learn Power Query, Power Pivot & DAX in 15 Minutes ", Chris Dutton walks through a hypothetical business case while showcasing the power of modern Excel tools like Power Query, Power Pivot and DAX. Power Query is used to extract, transform, and load data from external sources like SQL databases, PDF and CSV files. A relational model is created to join the tables without writing a single formula. Exploratory analysis is done using Power Pivot and Data Analysis Expressions (DAX). Data Analysis Expressions is the language that we can use to define new calculated columns and measures to enhance our Data Model instead of the traditional cell formulas that we'd typically use if our data was stored in worksheets. Pivot Charts and slicers are used to design a simple interactive report that the sales managers can use to analyze revenue trends and product performance.

This Week I Learned -  *  How does ChatGPT-like system work?  *  AI storytelling is a pivotal shift in the creative process.   * In July 2023, Google Labs unleashed NotebookLM , an AI assistant that chews through a buffet of up to 50 sources, from documents to YouTube videos and even whole books. It then cooks up summaries, dishes out study guides, and serves follow-up questions on a silver platter.  In September, a new feature was launched that transforms source material into a podcast so realistic, you'd think the AI hosts might just invite you over for coffee after the show. * Mukesh Ambani - Jio is the largest data company in the world. Its volumes are equivalent to AT&T mobile and Verizon combined. Jio delivered approximately 16 exabytes of data in this year. * Your bathroom geyser consumes only 2kW. It takes about five to 10 kilowatts (kW) to power a single rack of servers in a typical data centre, but a rack filled with advanced AI computing chips can demand well over 10
