Petar talks about the EU AI Act's impact on AI governance, the need for compliance benchmarks, risk management, and introduces Compl-AI for assessing model compliance with EU regulations Could be catastrophic forgetting to listen. 🗝️ KEY TOPICS 1. AI Governance 2. EU AI Act 3. Compliance Benchmarks 4. Risk Management 5. Compl-AI ## The Role of Small Models in the LLM Era The Role of Small Models in the LLM Era MLOps Community reading group session with author, Lihu Chen What's better than reading an informative paper? Having the author go through it with you! Chen shared insights on the often-overlooked strengths of SLMs and why he focused on them, especially for their potential in supporting LLMs. The discussion ranged from data curation to inference optimization, cost reduction, and even using SLMs as evaluators of LLM outputs. A small click to get big knowledge! Watch it here [https://go.mlops.community/q43czm] 🗝️ KEY TOPICS 1. Small Models 2. Data Curation 3. Inference Optimization 4. Knowledge Distillation 5. Synthetic Data 👉 Join us for the next one on Nov 21 [https://go.mlops.community/facdtp] - we'll be discussing Inference Scaling for Long-Context Retrieval Augmented Generation [https://go.mlops.community/hq7df8] ## Job of the Week [https://go.mlops.community/v13fa7](https://go.mlops.community/v13fa7) ## Challenges for data teams: Survey insights Challenges for data teams: Survey insights With thanks to Christina Garcia Stein for their contribution. A problem shared is a problem halved. So imagine the relief for everyone who responded to our survey with YouGot.us. They shared the challenges they face when building and maintaining ML pipelines. This blog highlights the most impactful findings or the survey, from top technical hurdles to collaboration and responsibility practices. It’s a useful look at common pitfalls in pipeline development—like cross-team communication, data quality, and role clarity—that could offer valuable insights for tackling similar issues in your own projects. If you're struggling with any of these, share the blog and halve your problem! ## Hidden Gems ## You Can Talk To Me // // You Can Talk To Me // Gem [https://go.mlops.community/n7re0a] // Song [https://go.mlops.community/oqa72e] A new podcast series with leaders like Andrew Gelman (Columbia University) and Chiara Farronato (HBS) covering topics like AI’s intersection with economics, statistical thinking, and data in decision-making. Safe and Sound // Gem [https://go.mlops.community/hcoz5g] // Song [https://go.mlops.community/y5nx7p] A rundown of GenAI horror stories that engineers encounter - bizarre hallucinations, scaling RAG, drowning in data - plus practical strategies to sidestep these pitfalls. I Hear A Symphony // Gem [https://go.mlops.community/arwgs5] // Song [https://go.mlops.community/c6tac8] A framework designed to protect musicians' work from being exploited by generative AI models by embedding imperceptible noise into music to prevent AI from learning patterns. Where Do We Go From Here // Gem [https://go.mlops.community/tuw053] // Song [https://go.mlops.community/16fu6o] A thread about AI's transformative effects, covering automation, improved decision-making, new job creation, ethical concerns, and the importance of continuous learning. 🗳️ Now you've seen the full look, let us know how we did here [https://go.mlops.community/ynvt58].
