# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Beyond the API: Engineering with Open-Weight LLMs
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 09 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Wed, 09 Sep, 2026 at 08:00 pm (+05:30)
- **Event Description**: Most teams experience LLMs through APIs: send a prompt, get a response, and build around the output. Open-weight models change that by giving engineers more control over how models are run, tuned, evaluated, and integrated into real systems.In this session, Lakshmi Narasimhan, Director of Engineering at Capital One, will explore what becomes possible when the model itself becomes part of the system you can engineer.The session will cover running open-weight models locally, quantization, lightweight fine-tuning with techniques such as LoRA, adapters, model routing, and evaluating whether fine-tuning actually improves performance.Attendees will also see a practical local fine-tuning demo and learn how to think about open-weight LLMs from an engineering perspective.A practical session for AI engineers, developers, ML practitioners, students, and GenAI enthusiasts who want to go beyond API-only workflows and understand how open-weight models can be used in real-world applications.
