Most developers interact with LLMs purely through prompts—but building production-grade, real-world systems demands far more control, structure, and reliability.

Join GDG Baroda for an intensive, hands-on workshop: "From Tokens to Tools: Building Real-World AI Systems with Gemma 4." Led by an industry expert, this session goes far beyond standard prompt engineering. We will dive deep into building tool-augmented, deterministic AI systems using Google's open-weight model family, Gemma 4.

Participants will explore the full lifecycle of working with an open-weight model—from mastering tokenization and decoding strategies to generating structured JSON outputs and integrating external APIs natively via function calling.

What We Will Cover:

1. The Core Foundations: Break down how tokenization and decoding directly influence model behavior and outputs.

2. Deterministic Structuring: Implement structured outputs (JSON) for bulletproof, reliable integration into downstream software applications.

3. Native Function Calling: Connect Gemma 4 with external tools, databases, and third-party APIs seamlessly.

4. Agentic Automation: Build a simple, operational, end-to-end AI workflow that moves completely beyond a basic chat interface.

This technical workshop is specifically designed for developers, software engineers, and ML practitioners who want to advance from loose experimentation to shipping production-ready AI systems. By the end of the session, you will leave with a working prototype and a clear mental model for treating LLMs as controllable, composable system components—not just text generators.
