Hands-on practitioners will get to use the Python SDK to run the PaLM API for text, code, and embedding models, along with some examples on prompt designing. Catering to industry-specific use-cases, you will get to run some advanced notebooks which will delve deeper into using foundational models along with other components to build the solution for the industry-use case. This session is intended to cover intermediate to advanced topics for Generative AI and provide you with hands-on experience.

Once deployed, your extension then converts X- and Y-coordinates into geohashes in response to Firestore events or through callable function invocations. This can be used as an alternative to implementing the geofire library across all your target platforms for storing data, saving you time.
