Foundation Model Virtual Summit

From GPT-3 to DALL-E 2 and Stable Diffusion, foundation models are driving the rapid advancement of AI, enabling exciting new possibilities for creativity and exploration while pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI.

However, using these foundation models in real-world, high-value scenarios can be challenging due to their lack of adaptability to complex, domain-specific tasks as well as their potential cost and governance constraints.

Join us for a free virtual summit that will bring together speakers from research and industry to discuss enterprise applications, best practices, and the latest research in the field of foundation models (FMs) and large language models (LLMs).

Meetup
Please join us at Snorkel AI headquarters in Redwood City, California from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM for an in-person meetup following the virtual program. Don’t miss this opportunity to network with fellow Bay Area data scientists and meet Snorkel’s co-founders and members of our team. Be sure to check the box to RSVP for this event.
