AI-powered transformation: Driving innovation and reshaping organizations - Joana Carrasqueira, Senior Manager, AI Developer Relations, Google (15:09)

Building with the Gemini API and Google AI Studio - Shrestha Basu Mallick, Product Lead, Gemini API and AI Studio, Google (23:58)

Introduction to Gemini APIs and Google AI Studio - Paige Bailey, AI Developer Experience Engineer, Google

AI for everyone with Gemma - Kathleen Kenealy, Staff Research Engineer, Google

  • Gemma is ​​'open' and 'offline', ​​'open' and 'offline' means you can run the model on local machines or host it yourself!
  • The weights are publicly available, which is the 'open' part of the model
  • Tuning recipes - A collection of guides and examples for the Gemma open models from Google.
  • $100,000 prize for a Kaggle Competition to fine-tune Gemma 2 for a specific language or cultural context.

AI in your pocket: Building intelligent Android apps - Jingyu Shi, Developer Relations Engineering Manager, Google

  • Gemini Nano is Google’s most efficient AI model built for on-device tasks on Android.
  • Gemini Nano runs in Android's AICore system service, which leverages device hardware to enable low inference latency and keeps the model up-to-date.
  • Access to Gemini Nano API and AICore is provided by the Google AI Edge SDK. 
  • Benefits of on-device execution:
    • Local processing
    • Offline availability
    • Potentially reduced latency
    • No additional cost
  • Gemini in Android Studio is your coding companion for Android development. 

Prompt to production: Building an AI app with Flutter - Khanh Nguyen, Developer Relations Engineer, Google (1:17:43)

  • Flutter is an open-source framework for building multi-platform apps. ​​Flutter code is written in Dart
  • Google AI Dart Client SDK is the fastest way to prototype generative AI features in your Flutter and Dart apps. This solution enables use of Gemini models through a Dart API in Google AI Studio
  • The presenter describes a scenario in which she records the sound of her stalled car and uses a Gen AI to diagnose the problem. She discusses the potential for the app to expand its services to include a list of local repair shops capable of fixing the issue.

How AI is changing the healthcare system - Fernanda Wanderley, Senior Data Scientist, Kunumi & Google Developer Expert (1:32:17)

  • Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are used to detect pathologies in X-ray or CT scans, for example. This can aid a non-radiologist to improve their work
  • Some advantages of using AI

GitHub Copilot Q&A - 1

Image
Key takeaways from the talk in Q&A format - What is GitHub Copilot and how does it work? GitHub Copilot is a suite of tools designed for code completion. It works by analysing the code and comments you type in your IDE and sending that context to GitHub. Copilot then uses OpenAI's language model (in December 2024, it is GPT 4o by default and you can also choose the preview versions of o1-mini & o1-preview if you like) to understand your intent and generate suggestions for code completion. You can then accept, reject, or modify these suggestions. What context does GitHub Copilot consider when making suggestions? Copilot considers the entirety of the file you are currently working on, not just the code from your cursor position upwards. It also analyses the content of other open tabs in your IDE, starting with those closest to the current tab. This helps Copilot focus on the most relevant information. Is it necessary to meticulously manage open tabs for Copilot to work effect...

This Week I Learned - Week #157

This Week I Learned - *  One of the great benefits of Azure VMs is the ability to change the size of your VM based on the needs for CPU, Network or disk performance using either Azure Classic Compute VMs or the newer Azure Resource Manager VMs. *  Linus Torvalds transformed technology twice - first with the Linux kernel, which helps power the Internet, and again with Git, the source code management system used by developers worldwide.   Excerpts from his TED talk: - Linus by his own admission is "not a people person"..is "myopic to other people's feelings" (and is not proud of that) ..is hellish stubborn - Both Linux and Git (a management system for software development) arose almost as an unintended consequence of his desire to not to work with too many people - "Linux wasn't started as a collaborative project.  I started it as one in a series of many projects I had done at the time for myself, partly because I needed the end re...
