We are a non-profit committed to educating the Dallas Metroplex in all things Java.

Real-time has come to Multi-modal AI with Google Gemini’s Flash 2.0 API. This talk will present a simple Java example of real-time AI on video and audio. You will learn why the best patterns for reactive, real-time AI are Event Sourced architectures, as LLMs are inherently event driven. In addition, you will learn how you can quickly build a Java application in Akka for real-time multi-modal Generative AI with Retrieval Augmented Generation, using the power of the Akka platform to build and deploy in a highly resilient, elastic and multi-region runtime architecture.

Benefits:
Understand challenges and best practices - for distributed Generative AI applications that are:

• Event-driven, elastic and performant
• Resilient up to 6 Nines
• Ultra-low p99 latency
• Agile and flexible
• Multi-Cloud

Learn how event sourcing and Akka make these easy!
