Tech Talk with Demo #1:
Teaching Claude and Codex to Think in GPU: Agentic Skills for CUDA-X Data Science
Speaker: Allison Ding https://www.linkedin.com/in/allison-ding/
Description: Agentic skills turn a generic AI assistant into a domain-aware agent that selects the right tool, generates validated code, and catches its own failure modes. This talk shows how to use NVIDIA's CUDA-X data science skills with Claude, Codex, and OpenClaw to generate correct, GPU-accelerated code without deep CUDA-X expertise — and pulls back the curtain on how they work: trigger conditions, library selection rules, documentation grounding, and runtime validation that prevents silent CPU fallback. The second half is a live demo: install the skills from NVIDIA's GitHub catalog with a single CLI command, then watch agents accelerate a pandas pipeline with cuDF, train a classifier with cuML, and build a nearest-neighbor index with cuVS — each prompt routed to the right GPU path automatically.
Tech Talk with Demo #2:
Personalizing Long-running AI Agents

Hotels:
Staying overnight instead of a long round trip drive? All of these ~15min drive, except Bodega Bay is a little longer.
• DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Sonoma Wine Country a hub for the Sonoma airporter bus; quiet; lots of golfing!
• Hotel Centro Sonoma Wine Country, Tapestry by Hilton pricing is typically quite good; newly constructed
• Hotel La Rose, Santa Rosa funky little historical place; great deli downstairs; in the hip-ish 4th Street district
• Courtyard Santa Rosa reliably good; friends from SF tend to stay here
• Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country
similar to Courtyard above
• Lodge at Bodega Bay, beautiful views; 25 minute drive from Sebastopol
