Pulto A Spatial Jupyter client for the Apple Vision Pro
By: Joshua Herman
Experience Level: Intermediate

This is a talk about making a Jupyter client for the Apple Vision Pro targeting the VisionOS operating system. It has largely been implemented in Swift but there is also an extended Jupyter server to manage 3D models, Gaussian Splats and Point Cloud data. It has been vibe coded a great part of the implementation will be discussed.

  • Apple Human Interface Guidelines (for the Vision Pro)
  • Complying with App Store policies (what can be done on devices)
  • Interfacing with Jupyter Remotely

Inference at Scale: Transcribing Millions of Insurance Calls with Whisper and Azure ML
By: Jimmy Scray

In this talk, I'll dive into the Python code and infrastructure behind a large-scale speech transcription platform built for the insurance industry. Starting from a notebook prototype, we'll explore how the system evolved into a distributed inference pipeline running across thousands of GPU workers.

Rather than focusing on machine learning theory, we'll focus on inference engineering: …
