\u2018Optimizing\u2019 Optimization: Generative AI Tools for Beginners and Gurobi Experts<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Presented by: Cara Touretzky and Jerry Yurchisin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Generative AI based tools are being positioned to transform the workflows surrounding mathematical optimization. At Gurobi, we want to leverage new opportunities in this space while still honoring the importance of studying and practicing classical model development techniques. \u202fDesigned with new learners in mind, we\u2019ll walk you through a comprehensive documentation site on using LLMs for modeling and introduce two custom GPT tools\u2014the Prompt Engineer and the Modeling Assistant\u2014that lower the barrier to learning optimization modeling and build your confidence. For those with advanced expertise, we also present Gurobot, a specialized GPT crafted for Gurobi experts to tackle complex optimization challenges. Throughout this discussion we will review model validation strategies, as these are critical for both verifying the usefulness of GenAI tool output and developing skills as a model developer. Whether you’re starting your optimization journey or fine-tuning your skills, discover how these innovative AI resources can streamline your workflow and unlock new levels of efficiency.<\/p>\n

Quantum Optimization: Applying Quantum Computing to Business Optimization Challenges<\/span><\/h3>\n

Presented by: Catherine Potts<\/strong><\/p>\n

A recent Hyperion Research survey reveals that businesses expect up to 20x return on investment from quantum optimization investments, and over 21% plan production-level use of quantum computing over the next 12-18 months\u2013a 50% increase over the past two years.

Attend this session to learn about quantum optimization, and how these new resources are being used for challenging combinatorial optimization problems such as:<\/p>\n
