DESCRIPTION:Free-threaded Python aims to significantly improve performance\
 , allowing multiple native threads to execute Python bytecode concurrently
 . In this talk\, we will explore the current state of Python's free-thread
 ing initiative and assess its practical readiness for widespread adoption.

DESCRIPTION:Large Language Models (LLMs) are becoming central to modern app
 lications\, yet effectively evaluating their performance remains a signifi
 cant challenge. How do you objectively compare different models\, benchmar
 k the impact of fine-tuning\, or ensure your LLM responses adhere to safet
 y guidelines (guard-railing)? This hands-on workshop addresses these criti
 cal questions.
