Toronto Coronation Street Meet Up

Toronto Coronation Street Meet Up

Thu, Oct 22, 9:30 PM
From Toronto Coronation Street Lovers!

Do you watch Coronation street but have no one to talk to about the comings and goings of this classic UK show? Then come and have a natter over a pint or a cuppa with a group of CS fans! A positive, laid back group with the emphasis on fun. If you do not enjoy currently watching the show, this is not the meet up for you. No haters or grumps!!! 😃 Although we can all agree that we are glad someone finally bumped off Theo! 🤣 There might even be trivia…and perhaps prizes. All suggestions for time of day and venue preferences welcome. Please read group description to see if this is the group for you.

TorontoAI + AWS User Group - Demo Day

TorontoAI + AWS User Group - Demo Day

Wed, Nov 4, 11:00 PM
From Toronto AI Meetup
4.3

Ask Your Data Warehouse Questions With a Model You Host Yourself Short abstract (for the agenda): Please register - https://www.meetup.com/aws-ug-toronto/events/316858236/ A live demo of db-agent, an open-source text-to-SQL agent, querying a Databricks warehouse using a local LLM through Ollama. No model API, no per-question token bill, nothing leaving your network. I'll also show the guardrail that stops the agent from running a destructive query. Longer version (if they ask for one): Text-to-SQL is everywhere now. Running it on a metered model API means every question has a price, and many teams can't send schema to an outside model at all. In this demo I'll run db-agent with a local model through Ollama against a Databricks SQL warehouse on AWS. You'll see what a self-hosted model handles well, where it fails, and the read-only safety layer that keeps it from changing data. Code is open source: github.com/db-agent/db-agent
