The SF Systems Club hosts an evening of two research talks at LatchBio's San Francisco office, with food, drinks and socializing before and after the talks. Shreya Shankar of CMU presents Quail, an open-source query engine for AI-SQL, explaining why general-purpose inference engines handle per-row LLM calls slowly and how Quail's planner and execution engine address that. Parker Zeigler of UC Berkeley discusses interactive, multimodal programming systems that combine text editing with direct manipulation and natural language, drawing on compilers research.
