08.30.2023 - Semantic Kernel Office Hours

Vibrant discussion over several interesting topics today! We first cover announcements like new blogposts around telemetry, Chat Copilot improvements, and my colleague Gopi's journey from LangChain to Semantic Kernel. We also call out the latest packages across Python, Java, and C# especially calling out the flurry of new features for Python SK including Stepwise Planner and integrating Google's PALM model. And as a big announcement we call out the new Semantic Kernel course taught by John Maeda on Andrew Ng's Deeplearning.ai platform! (https://www.deeplearning.ai/short-courses/microsoft-semantic-kernel/) As for content, we had David Pierce share some of the latest research from Carnegie Mellon around ways people are able to create adversarial attacks on LLMs and the implication for securing AI applications (https://llm-attacks.org/). Also, Doug Ware shared challenges in integrating some models that have different APIs and parameters and how it impacts the design of SK. We also discuss the tough task of orchestrating between 1000s of APIs in your application and some different solutions for helping solve this like engineering a better retriever or using specific models like Tool LLM or Gorilla LLM. And as a fun topic, we talk about how you can use AI agents can be used to run a business and make money! All these topics and more in today's Office Hours!
