<b style="font-size: 12pt;">Abstract: </b><font size="3">AutoGen is an open-source programming framework for agentic AI. It enables development of LLM applications using multiple agents that can converse with each other to solve tasks. In this talk, the speaker
will provide an introduction of AutoGen, sharing the latest updates and ongoing research efforts spanning across key directions such as evaluation, interfaces, learning/optimization/teaching, and seamless integration with existing AI technologies. The speaker
will also delve into open questions and future plans surrounding AutoGen.</font></div>
