DESCRIPTION:LLMs are the biggest new industry on our planet. Considering th
 e amount of research and investments in the field\, large and rapid progre
 ss is expected for the coming decade. However\, to make use of the technol
 ogy\, we need to have a solid grasp on its technical as well as infrastruc
 tural aspects. LLM deployment entails a layered tech stack: the LLM itself
 \, deployment (use of services or self-hosting)\, technical guardrails (in
 struction\, fine-tuning)\, auxiliary technologies (retrieval-augmented gen
 eration\, knowledge integration)\, and end-user accessibility (programming
  APIs\, user interfaces). Applying the latest knowledge about LLMs in a ro
 bust and trustworthy way is an operative challenge despite the large impro
 vements we already see in the wider field.In this webinar\, we will talk a
 bout the LLM stack with a focus on open-source frameworks that facilitate 
 deployment at various levels. The base layer are the deployment frameworks
  themselves (e.g.\, Ollama)\, as well as harmonising APIs for open-source 
 LLMs by commercial providers. The second layer are frameworks for LLM inte
 gration into user systems\, as championed by LangChain. The third layer ar
 e domain-specific frameworks such as our own development\, BioChatter\, wh
 ich also reaches over into the fourth layer\, dedicated user interfaces.To
  future-proof our approach to this powerful technology\, it is imperative 
 to avoid redundancies\; in order to not reinvent the wheel\, we need to be
  aware of which problems are solved and which are worth tackling. We will 
 discuss a flexible framework for using open-source technologies at various
  stages of project maturity\, from proof of concept to service provision. 
 Finally\, we will discuss the scope of LLM application: what can they safe
 ly be used for\, and which applications are still out of reach?
