Talk 1: Large Language Models and their role within the current Search & AI ecosystem
Speaker: Afonso Mendes
Talk Summary: This session looks beyond the buzz to question what large language models (LLMs) truly bring to the table, and where their limits lie. We will examine how these models fit within the broader ecosystem of Search and AI tools and how they relate with more traditional systems. From uncovering where LLMs shine to exposing where they do not, the discussion invites a clearer view of their real value in today’s landscape.
Other talks to be submitted soon! If you’d like to join and present at this meet-up, please get in touch with Bernardo or Carlos!
