AI Agents have become a buzzword in the world of generative AI—but what exactly are agents, and how are they advancing open source AI? Agents are autonomous systems that extend the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) by leveraging external tools and real-time data to perform dynamic actions for solving complex, multi-step tasks. They are at the forefront of transforming open source AI by enabling adaptability, automation and more intelligent decision-making.
In this talk, we’ll explore popular open source agent frameworks like LangChain and Haystack, which are driving rapid development and community-powered innovation in AI agents. Using real-world examples and a live demo, we’ll demonstrate how these frameworks can be leveraged to build a variety of generative AI applications, including RAG, IT operations automation and dynamic, context-aware chatbots.
Attendees will gain a clear insight into why AI agents are at the forefront of innovation and how open source collaboration is driving its evolution. Whether you’re an AI developer, OSPO leader or open source enthusiast, this session will highlight the potential of agents to power the next wave of open source AI missions.
