Building Visual ML Pipelines to Python with H2O Driverless AI | Part 22

How H2O.ai bridges visual no-code ML pipelines and code-first Python execution for diverse data science working styles.

AI teams contain visual thinkers, coders, and everyone in between. Driverless AI supports intuitive wizards and visual pipeline diagrams for feature engineering and model tuning. MLOps allows switching between UI-based row scoring and command-line batch execution. h2oGPTe agents generate sandbox-tested Python code that can be exported, modified, and used in automated testing—enabling teams to fluidly transition from a visual interface to a fully scriptable environment without losing any work.

Part 1: Evaluate a RAG Agent End-to-End with MLflow | Traces, Ground Truth & Multi-Framework Scorers

Learn how to build and evaluate a production-style Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) agent with MLflow. This is Part 1 of a two-part series on a complete workflow: register prompts and the agent, capture execution traces with ground-truth expectations, and run evaluations across multiple frameworks from a single MLflow interface.

What this video covers:
Use case: A “school assistant” agent that answers children’s questions about school policies (cell phones, attendance, and more) in a child-friendly tone.
👉 Stack: LangChain, FAISS, Amazon Bedrock, MLflow

Workflow highlights:
• Prompt registration in the MLflow Prompt Registry (versioning + aliases like "production" so prompts can change without redeploying code)
• Agent definition using MLflow’s standardized agent base class (logging, versioning, deployment patterns)
• Trace capture on evaluation questions, including retrieved context and final outputs
• Ground truth expectations from subject matter experts, logged with traces for evaluation reference
• Multi-framework evaluation in one place: Custom MLflow LLM judge, Ragas, Arize Phoenix, and a deterministic retriever scorer

Results: Aggregated and per-trace metrics with judge rationales, plus tracking over time (including moving averages) to monitor iteration.

Coming in Part 2: Aligning a custom judge with human SME feedback using natural language when generic LLM judges are less reliable in domain-specific settings.

Hybrid RAG for Accuracy-Critical AI Use Cases

If you’re working on high-stakes applications like enterprise search, customer support, healthcare information, legal research, or financial services, it’s vital that an AI use provides accurate results. Hybrid RAG is a powerful approach for accuracy-critical AI use cases where factual answers matter most.

Learn from Sr. AI developer advocate David VonThenen as he builds a Hybrid RAG model using Graph + Vector RAG and Neo4j + OpenSearch.

Lazy-L10N: Accelerating OSS Translation with Local LLMs and pgvector, Vee Satayamas #FOSSASIA2026

Thai localization projects often face challenges with inconsistent translations, especially when .po translation memory contains mixed styles from outdated and newer sources. While LLMs can produce high-quality translations, they often lack consistency with project-specific tone and style.

In this talk, we introduce Lazy-L10N, an open-source localization tool designed to improve translation consistency using local LLMs and vector search.

Lazy-L10N builds a translation memory from .po files, uses pgvector for semantic retrieval of relevant examples, and leverages a local LLM to generate context-aware, style-consistent translations.

We demonstrate the system using real-world case studies from Okular and KDE Thai localization.

https://github.com/aws-samples/sagemaker-genai-hosting-examples/tree/main/06-examples/01-train-deploy-LoRA

Supreet, a senior GenAI solutions architect at AWS Startups (Frontier AI team), presents a case study on using SageMaker multi-adapter endpoints to support a legal-tech SaaS with multiple customer datasets without deploying multiple model endpoints. After limited success with RAG and prompt engineering, the startup moved to fine-tuning using parameter-efficient QLoRA on an open-weights model (tested with Mistral 7B) to reduce cost and training time, training an initial ~100MB dataset in about two hours. A single real-time endpoint hosts the base model while multiple small adapters (about 50–200MB) are swapped in milliseconds via routing logic (implemented with AWS Lambda and keyword/LLM-based hybrid routing) to meet sub-5-second latency targets. Supreet emphasizes adapter-level evaluations using NLP metrics and LLM-as-a-judge with SME input, plus an AWS architecture involving S3, SageMaker training/evaluation, model registry, API Gateway, and monitoring.

Buckle Up: How Waymo Uses Data to Create a Safer Driving Experience by Manasi Joshi, Waymo

Powered by 100 millionm miles on public roads and billions more in simulation, the Waymo Driver is the most advanced application of AI in the physical world today. Waymo collects massive amounts of data from real roads and billions of miles driven in computer simulations. Manasi Joshi, director of Systems Intelligence and Machine Learning, will explain how Waymo’s engineers use these huge datasets to advance how cars "see" the world, predict what other drivers will do, and plan their routes. You’ll hear about how Waymo uses ML to train and test these self-driving systems and how its open dataset is motivating further public research in autonomy. This work helps make Waymo’s autonomous vehicles safer and more reliable every day in an era of rapid expansion and competition of autonomous ride-hailing services.

AI Value at Scale with ZF Group | SAP Sapphire Madrid 2026

See how ZF Group is using SAP RISE, SAP Business Data Cloud, and AI to modernize a complex global manufacturing landscape.

At SAP Sapphire Madrid 2026, Thomas Buck, Chief Information Officer at ZF Group, shares how ZF Group is preparing for AI at scale while transforming a highly customized SAP ECC environment shaped by years of growth and acquisitions. With more than 150,000 employees across 29 countries and 160+ plants, ZF is using RISE with SAP and SAP Business Data Cloud to move toward clean core, make data AI-ready, and build a stronger foundation for innovation.

The conversation explores how ZF is applying AI to an industry-specific quality management challenge: the 8D problem-solving process. Today, teams manually review historical reports, search for similar cases, identify root causes, and assess whether issues could recur across other products. Working with SAP through a forward-deployed engineering approach, ZF built a custom AI framework with four agents to help analyze historical data, compare current cases, support root cause analysis, and propose solutions based on past cases.

ZF also shares the expected business value, including faster processes, improved quality, and potential savings in the mid double-digit millions of euros. The discussion closes with how WalkMe helps users adopt new AI-enabled ways of working and how SAP Max Success Plan supports ZF’s broader transformation journey.
