Most AI projects don’t fail because of bad models; they fail because of bad data plumbing. Andy Pernsteiner joins the podcast to talk about what it actually takes to build production-grade AI systems that aren’t held together by brittle ETL scripts and data copies. He unpacks why unifying data - rather than moving it - is key to real-time, secure inference, and how event-driven, Kubernetes-native pipelines are reshaping the way developers build AI applications. It’s a conversation about cutting out the complexity, keeping data live, and building systems smart enough to keep up with your models.

This month's paper: <h1><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.18203" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shrinking the Generation-Verification Gap with Weak Verifiers</a></h1> Language models are getting better at reasoning but their ability to verify their own outputs still lags behind. This paper tackles that challenge head-on by introducing Weaver, a framework that combines multiple weak verifiers into a single, stronger verifier without relying heavily on labeled data.Weaver uses weak supervision to estimate verifier reliability, normalize inconsistent outputs, and filter low-quality signals, resulting in a unified score that better reflects true response quality. In practice, this approach significantly boosts reasoning and math task performance rivaling models several times larger, such as achieving o3-mini-level accuracy using only Llama 3.3 70B as the generator. <h2>💡 Special Guest - Author of paper:</h2><h2>We’re thrilled to be joined by the Jon Saad-Falcon, Stanford PhD Candidate in Computer Science, to discuss the paper and take questions from the group.</h2> 📅 Date: November 20th🕚 Time: 11amET<h2>Speakers: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamissimo/overlay/about-this-profile/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Adam Boaz Becker</a> - Founder, HeadOn. <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anaanna417/overlay/about-this-profile/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jimin (Anna) Yoon</a> - Tech Lead / Senior Software Engineer</h2><h2>Moderator <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/arthurcoleman/overlay/about-this-profile/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Arthur Coleman</a>: CEO, OnlineMatters Inc.</h2> Join the #reading-group channel in the MLOps Community Slack to connect before and after the session.

Agents in Production 2025

Your AI shouldn’t just work in the demo. It should work in production.Join us for a high-impact, no-fluff Mini Summit focused on building AI applications that can withstand the real world — where APIs fail, users take days to respond, and servers crash without warning. Whether you’re deep into building with LLMs or just starting to explore how to operationalize your AI systems, this event is packed with practical insights, real-world strategies, and modern tooling to help you ship reliable AI that doesn’t break. What’s on the agenda?🔹 Process Calling: Agentic Tools Need State Function calling gave LLMs a way to "do" things — but it’s not enough. When you’re building agents for customer-facing use cases, stateless abstractions fall short fast. Learn why the future of agentic tooling is process-based, not function-based, and what it means to build agents that remember, recover, and reliably finish what they start. 🔹 Building Reliable AI Applications with Durable Workflows Chaining functions together is easy. Keeping AI workflows running when things go sideways? That’s the hard part. This talk introduces durable workflows — systems that checkpoint state, recover automatically, and gracefully handle everything from human delays to API flakiness. You’ll see real examples of AI pipelines that stay resilient in production. 🔹 No YAML? No Problem: Orchestrate Kubernetes Workflows the Easy Way with Python Sick of writing orchestration logic in YAML? You’re not alone. Discover how Hera, the Python SDK for Argo Workflows, lets you express complex Kubernetes workflows using clean, testable Python code. Keep your business logic and orchestration logic in one place — no indentation nightmares required. Who should attend? AI engineers, MLOps professionals, infra leads, and builders who care about more than just flashy demos. If you're looking to make your AI actually work at scale, this one's for you. RSVP now and start building AI that doesn’t break.
