AI_dev: Open Source GenAI & ML Summit Europe 2025

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have emerged as powerful tools capable of understanding and interpreting both visual imagery and natural language. In this talk, we’ll dive into VLMs and how they work without getting bogged down in tech jargon. 

In this session, we will cover the state of open video generation models. For the past few years, the GenAI community saw an emergence in photorealistic image generation models like Flux, Imagen3, DALL-E 3. 2025 is gradually setting itself up for videos. 

Unlock the insights hidden within unstructured PDF documents! Many PDFs contain multimodal elements like text, tables, and images, and relying solely on text-based processing risks overlooking critical information. This session explores two powerful approaches to address this challenge: building specialized pipelines that integrate OCR and ML models for handling diverse modalities, and leveraging cutting-edge Vision-Language Models like ColPali to represent multimodal data in a unified format. Join us to discover how both methods can be applied to build an intelligent conversational search application using open-source technology, OpenSearch by leveraging it's its powerful search and ingest pipelines. The session includes a live demonstration to showcase practical implementations, empowering you to choose the approach that best fits your needs!
