Training Agents, Session 1: from raw agent traces to a supervised fine-tuning baseline.
In this live session, I’ll set up the first rung of an agentic post-training workflow: SFT. We’ll take public coding-agent traces, turn them into prompt/completion training data, run a small TRL + LoRA fine-tune, and inspect what the first metrics can and cannot tell us.
What we’ll cover:
– Why start with SFT before GRPO or environment RL
– How agent traces become training examples
– Completion-only loss for chat/tool traces
– Running TRL SFT on Hugging Face Jobs
– Keeping experiments reproducible without checking in logs or checkpoints
– What the first eval metrics do and do not prove
This is part of the Training Agents series: using coding agents to design, run, monitor, and review post-training experiments, while training models to become better agents.
Vector search is at the core of modern AI applications, but scaling it across distributed systems presents major engineering challenges. This talk explores how YDB, an open source distributed SQL database, evolved from basic vector search to a highly scalable architecture capable of managing billions of vectors across thousands of nodes.
Learn the key stages of building vector search in a distributed database, including indexing strategies, performance optimization, and the challenges of maintaining speed, scalability, and reliability at massive scale. We’ll also examine how YDB’s global indexing approach enables efficient similarity search for AI, machine learning, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workloads.
Perfect for database engineers, AI practitioners, and platform teams interested in vector databases, semantic search, distributed systems, and large-scale AI infrastructure.

This is the story behind my open source, Baby Grand Piano. It’s been a dream of mine for decades to have myown Baby Grand Pinao. I realized I would never be able to afford one, so I built my own.

– My Wife, Beatriz McGonagill (she is amaster of all she attempts and the only reason I have this project done).
– My Brother-in-Law (Lauro Lopez – Lopez Paint and Body – Lubbock, TX) – He is an incredible auto body professional, and you should stop by and show him some business if you’re in the area.
– My Uncle – Walter McGonagill – he was pivotal in getting the piano legs prepped and ready for paint, thank you!
– My Aunt – Betty McGonagill – She plays beautifully, and made my piano really come to life.

See how Generative AI Hub helps organizations move from AI experimentation to real business impact.
Generative AI can create powerful opportunities, but scaling it across the enterprise requires the right foundation. Teams need centralized model access, built-in governance, secure development tools, and a clear path from experimentation to production.
Generative AI Hub brings AI development into one enterprise-ready platform, with centralized access to SAP and partner foundation models, orchestration, governance, and administration. It provides a single entry point to explore ready-to-use multimodal AI models, agents, and predictive insight capabilities, pre-integrated, fully managed, and connected to SAP business context.
With a low-code playground, developers and teams can compare models, optimize prompts, and test use cases faster. Using one API, they can ground model outputs in enterprise data, orchestrate complex scenarios across applications, and maintain control over AI access, monitoring, security, and costs.
The result is a faster, more governed way to productize AI use cases and scale generative AI across the business.
