Decoding the GenAI Revolution: Technical Shifts and Their Impact on Your Applications

ATL Dev Con

Explore recent technical shifts in LLMs and GenAI from a developer's perspective. Learn how architectural innovations, training methods, and new capabilities like extended context and multimodality translate into practical opportunities for building intelligent applications.

GenAI Prompt Engineering AI Architecture
Decoding the GenAI Revolution: Technical Shifts and Their Impact on Your Applications

Talk Overview:

This intermediate-level technical talk demystifies recent GenAI advancements for software engineers who integrate AI into applications. Moving beyond hype, we explore architectural innovations (sparse attention, scaling laws), training methodologies (RLHF, instruction tuning), and practical techniques like Chain-of-Thought prompting that you can implement today.

Key Topics Covered:

  • Architectural efficiency and choosing the right model for your use case
  • Training techniques that make models easier to work with
  • Chain-of-Thought prompting for improved reasoning
  • Building AI agents with frameworks like LangChain
  • Emerging standards (MCP, A2A) for simplified integration
  • Extended context windows and multimodal capabilities
  • Practical considerations: latency, cost, guardrails, and testing

Who Should Attend:

Mid to senior software engineers building or maintaining applications that integrate LLM APIs and GenAI capabilities.
