Look at the amazing earrings I won at the PyLadies #PyconUS Auction!
1,674 glass beads arranged to represent a Python program.
Should I wear them to my poster session for everyone to check out?

I stopped by @pydantic AI booth to say hi, and it turned into a debugging session with @samuelcolvin to figure out when/why SLMs fail to handle agentic function calling flows. Determined that SLMs like llama3.1:8b can handle a single tool call, but they don't handle a multi-turn conversation with previous tool call responses very well. Reliability drops drastically.

We've put an open space on the calendar at #PyconUS to talk about evaluations for LLM-powered applications!
Come chat about what you want to see in the eval space. What process would help you evaluate your app correctness, safety, and quality?

Sunday, 1pm, Room 319

Thanks to the RAGAS crew for organizing!
