Overview
Join industry pioneer Patrick Debois and PerfectScale’s Chief Storyteller - Ant Weiss to investigate GenAI coding for devs and ops beyond the buzz.
AI is becoming a natural part of our coding workflow — but how does it actually work under the hood?
In this session we'll dive into topics such as:
- How code generation models work — and how they differ from general-purpose LLMs
- How context prompts and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) can drastically improve code suggestions
- What “function calling” is, and how it bridges prompts to real actions
- Where agents fit in and how they can use tools
- And finally, what MCP is and how it unlocks powerful new capabilities (e.g: talking to Kubernetes!)
We'll show actual code and make sure it's easy to understand for everyone. In the end you get a better grip on how it works and have all the information you need to build your own tooling or select the tools you need.
