Agentic AI Design Patterns

Serg Masís

Syngenta

We begin this session by explaining what are agents, and what’s their significance. Then, we discuss how they can be organized with several design patterns and what are the pros and cons of each. We follow this by diving into implementation considerations such as frameworks, Large Language Models and cloud environments. Lastly, we explore potential use cases and consider the challenges of assessing their efficacy.

Through the AI Looking-Glass

Burr Sutter

Red Hat

In Through the Looking-Glass, Lewis Carroll envisioned a world where logic is inverted, rules shift unpredictably, and progress requires very strategic navigation. And if you have attempted to use an open source large language model within an enterprise setting then you have had first hand experience with unpredictable behavior. Today, one of the possible mitigation strategies to address this unpredictability is known AI agents or agentic. Software applications (or bots) that operate in a similarly dynamic landscape—processing vast amounts of unstructured data, collaborating in multi-agent workflows, and self-correcting in ever-changing environments.

Bridging Data Quality and Model Performance: Integrating Databricks, FiftyOne, and Mosaic AI

Paula Ramos, PhD

Voxel51

High-quality models require high-quality data, yet identifying problematic samples in massive datasets remains challenging. This session introduces a robust framework leveraging Databricks, FiftyOne’s Data Lens, and Mosaic AI to enhance data quality and model performance. Data Lens enables intuitive querying of billion-scale data samples in a data lake, while Mosaic AI uncovers hidden relationships through multimodal embeddings. Combined with Databricks’ scalable data management, these tools streamline error detection, model refinement, and dataset optimization, advancing the development of reliable foundation models in Visual AI.
