Experience It Live!

We believe the best ideas spark when real people connect—grabbing coffee, finding someone to go to a new event with, or contributing to a project. The goal isn't to withhold content, but to encourage these living, breathing experiences so we can go farther together.

That's why we don't record our meetups. We want you here with us on the journey! If you missed a great topic, let's explore opportunities for repeat talks or birds-of-a-feather sessions.

When GenAI Models Fail, Ensemble Models Win

AMLC of the Rockies - December 2025

Your domain-specific model achieves 85.3% accuracy, but production requires 95%+. What do you do? Discover how ensemble models and multi-source data synthesis can bridge the gap when single GenAI models fall short. Learn about the "judge pattern" that achieved 100% accuracy with explainability and cost-effectiveness.

Key Takeaways:

  • Ensemble models bridge the accuracy gap (85% → 100%)
  • Judge pattern combines speed + accuracy + explainability
  • Ensemble data sources, not just models
  • 2x customer satisfaction improvement, 1,400% ROI
