Qdrant workshop gives a simulated fly brain persistent trauma memories at AI Dev NYC
DeepLearningAI · x · 2026-11-16
DeepLearning.AI is promoting an AI Dev New York 2026 workshop: Qdrant DevRel lead Dylan Couzon will give a simulated fly brain (tormented by the internet) a memory of bad experiences, then test whether past experience helps it avoid unfamiliar hazards and survive longer.
- The session covers building persistent agent memory with vector retrieval: recalling what happened before and applying it to new challenges
- Attendees learn to build a memory system with search/retrieval, reuse past experience, and measure whether memory actually helps — leaving with reusable code and tests
- Couzon previously focused on LLM application evaluation at Arize AI and has demoed robot memory on Qdrant Edge running on a Raspberry Pi
Event runs November 30 – December 1, 2026 at Chelsea Piers, New York; intermediate level.
