Abstract

This hands-on workshop is designed to equip enterprise Java developers with the essential skills and knowledge needed to harness the power of artificial intelligence in their projects. Developers learn:

How to modernize and deploy Java AI-infused applications across teams using internal developer portals

Understand developer AI concepts like prompt engineering, application testing, applying RAG patterns, observing AI-infused applications, and using tools/agents

Experiment with models and applications directly on the desktop with AI-focused local development tools

Building AI applications with S/W templates and deploying to Kubernetes

Easy fine-tuning of base models using open source tools
