This month we'll have a presentation on the Google Web Toolkit! Google Web Toolkit (GWT), used by Google internally on some of their biggest applications, is growing and quite good. Learn about the technology, and plans for GWT to become a singular development platform on web and beyond.
Speaker:
Co-founder of www.diy.fund, an online investment platform
Recently moved to Orlando, FL from NY, spent his career on wall street developing and managing technology for multi-billion dollar hedge funds. Has been using Java most of his career, and specifically GWT which he loves evangelizing.

Sudeep Das and Pradeep Muthukrishnan explain the shift from static merchandising to dynamic, moment-aware personalization at DoorDash. They share how LLMs generate natural-language "consumer profiles" and content blueprints, while traditional deep learning handles last-mile ranking. This hybrid approach allows the platform to adapt to short-lived user intent and massive catalog abundance.

PDF table extraction often looks easy until it fails in production. Real bank statements can be messy, with scanned pages, shifting layouts, merged cells, and wrapped rows that break standard Java parsers. This article shares how we redesigned the approach using stream parsing, lattice/OCR, validation, scoring, and selective ML to make extraction more reliable in real banking systems.

Cloudflare's Project Think introduces a new framework for AI agents, shifting from stateless orchestration to a durable actor-based infrastructure. It features a kernel-like runtime enabling agents to manage memory and run code securely. Innovations include Fibers for checkpointing progress and a Session API for relational conversations, enhancing agent efficiency and resilience.

LinkedIn introduces Cognitive Memory Agent (CMA), generative AI infrastructure layer enabling stateful, context-aware systems. It provides persistent memory across episodic, semantic, and procedural layers, supporting multi-agent coordination, retrieval, and lifecycle management. CMA addresses LLM statelessness and enables production-grade personalization and long-term context in AI applications.
