Seattle Systems hosts a session with two technical talks on building AI systems that do not rely on language models alone. Kevin Burns of Uber's Cadence team discusses selecting deterministic code, specialized decision models, LLMs, or agents for different workflow steps, drawing on the open-source Cadence AI Samples project. Ziyuan Zhu presents OpenOx, an open-source mobile app whose connectors are created just in time and that can run models locally. The talks are aimed at developers and others building production AI systems.
