Thrilled to share the success of our recent IEEE Seattle Chapter workshop on “Creating AI Agents: From Fundamentals to Implementation”!
We dove deep into the world of artificial intelligence, guiding our participants through the essential building blocks of Large Language Models, exploring the nuances of temperature settings, token, modeling and architecture of neural networks. The workshop provided hands-on experience in developing AI agents, covering the available agentic frameworks and addressing real-world challenges and limitations.
The engagement from our 30+ attendees was remarkable. As IEEE members from diverse backgrounds collaborated and experimented, the room buzzed with intellectual curiosity and practical problem-solving. We tackled complex concepts while maintaining a practical, hands-on approach that participants could immediately apply in their work.
The workshop’s success is reflected in the outstanding 4-5 star ratings we received from participants, who particularly appreciated the depth of technical content and practical implementation strategies. It’s incredibly rewarding to see professionals advancing their understanding of AI agent development and leaving with actionable knowledge.
Looking forward to hosting more such workshops as we continue to bridge the gap between theoretical AI concepts and practical applications.
