NVIDIA and OpenAI’s GPT-5.5-Codex: Engineering at Scale OpenAI’s new GPT-5.5-Codex model (backed by NVIDIA) is touted as a superpower for complex engineering tasks. This development underscores the trend of AI moving from chat to practical code generation and task automation. For open-source enthusiasts, the challenge is to keep pace with proprietary advances while leveraging community-driven … Read more
How to fine-tune domain-specific LLMs for tasks like text-to-SQL and multimodal QA using H2O Enterprise LLM Studio.
When prompt engineering alone is insufficient, fine-tuning a domain-specific model can reduce costs while improving accuracy. H2O Enterprise LLM Studio walks through the full instruction tuning process—leveraging LoRA adapters, built-in AutoML for hyperparameter optimization, and real-time training metrics like loss curves and validation perplexity. Models are evaluated for safety and quality, then exported directly to Hugging Face for distribution across the organization.

In this webinar, MLflow Ambassador and Machine Learning Engineer Thor Steen Larsen from DSB demonstrates how to move beyond messy local files to a structured, enterprise-ready machine learning environment using MLflow. Thor explains how MLflow provided essential tools for experiment tracking, model evaluation, and various deployment strategies suitable for both Data Scientists and ML Engineers.
Topics Covered:
🔹 Getting Started with MLflow
🔹 MLflow for AI & GenAI
🔹 Deployment Strategies
🔹 MLOps Environments
🔹 Algorithmic Prompt Optimization
🔹 Deploying to production with MLflow and DABs
🔹 New & Upcoming Features
🔹 Tracking Image Datasets with MLflow
🗣️ Hosted by Pål de Vibe, Databricks MVP

Reinforcement learning is becoming central to agentic systems, but moving from RL for LLMs to RL for agents introduces a new set of challenges: environments, rollouts, tool use, inference bottlenecks, reward design, and evaluating multi-step behavior in the real world.
In this live Hugging Face workshop, we bring together researchers and builders working on the frontier of RL for agents. The session will feature short talks followed by a discussion on what is working today, where open methods still fall short, and what comes next.
Speakers include:
– Lewis Tunstall, Hugging Face
– Will Brown, Prime Intellect
– Ofir Press, Princeton University
– Alex Zhang, MIT CSAIL
additional guests TBA
Topics include:
– training agents with open source tools
– scaling RL for language agents
– multi-step verification and reward design
– benchmarking agent capability beyond static tasks
– recursive reasoning and new agent architectures

As enterprises transition from AI experimentation to real-world production, Private AI is quickly becoming a strategic imperative. In this CNCF Fireside Chat, Chris Wolf, Global Head of AI and Advanced Services at VMware by Broadcom, and Pankaj Gupta, Senior Director of Modern Application Solutions at VMware by Broadcom, share firsthand perspectives from customers who are successfully building and scaling AI in secure, well-governed, and cost-efficient environments.
From real-world use cases like contact center modernization and computer vision at the edge, to the critical role of cloud-native technologies such as Kubernetes and key CNCF projects, this conversation explores what it באמת takes to operationalize AI at scale.
We’ll also dive into the biggest challenges organizations face -from Day 2 operations and data sovereignty to rising infrastructure and energy costs – and how a cloud native approach is helping solve them.

Artificial intelligence is creating new opportunities for social innovation—but many young entrepreneurs are still navigating how to use it effectively.
According to a global study, conducted by The Possibilists – a global alliance for youth innovation and partner of ChangemakerXchange – more than 60% of young impact entrepreneurs believe AI can benefit their work, society, and the broader economy. At the same time, 70% of these innovators say they lack support in navigating AI tools.
Through a long‑standing collaboration, SAP and ChangemakerXchange bring together young social entrepreneurs with SAP volunteers and professionals to exchange knowledge, explore practical use cases, and build confidence in applying AI responsibly.
Matthias Scheffelmeier, Co-Founder of ChangemakerXchange and Alexia von Salomon, Learning Designer at Education Innovation Labs and a changemaker in the European cohort, discuss which skills are essential in an AI-driven future – and how AI can help improve efficiency and scale social impact.
