Build the Future: IBM Bob AI on zSystems & LinuxONE — Hands‑On NYC
Join this event
About this event
Join us in New York City for a full‑day, hands‑on meetup to learn how LinuxONE and zSystems power enterprise AI and secure infrastructure. Through demos and guided labs you’ll build a live, real‑time pipeline and gain practical experience using IBM Bob plus other LLMs (Claude, Anthropic) in development and research workflows.
Why attend
- Real‑time use case: catch suspicious card transactions as they happen — message → service → score → store → alert.
- Hands‑on labs: install MQ, run a CICS (Kix) transaction, and create/query Db2 tables step‑by‑step.
- LLM integration: use IBM Bob to generate SQL, CICS handlers, and MQ client code; compare alternate approaches from Claude and Anthropic.
- Enterprise sessions: LinuxONE fundamentals, Red Hat/OpenShift integration, data serving (DBs & streaming), and ONE Vault security.
- Networking: meet engineers, developers, and researchers from NYC.
- Logistics: free event, lunch and happy hour provided, limited capacity, bring a laptop.
What you’ll do in the lab (simple steps)
- Set up MQ: create a message channel and send a test transaction.
- Run the transaction service (CICS): validate messages and forward for scoring.
- Create Db2 tables: store recent transactions, risk scores, and alerts; seed sample data.
- Publish streaming events: feed processed transactions to analytics and dashboards.
- Integrate IBM Bob & LLMs: generate code, optimize queries, and create operational runbooks.
- End‑to‑end test: send sample transactions, observe real‑time scoring, and see alerts appear.
What you’ll see and learn
- Millisecond message flow from simulated checkouts.
- Immediate scoring and decisioning with fast Db2 lookups.
- Streamed events updating analytics in near real time.
- How IBM Bob and other LLMs accelerate development and ops.
- A working demo that mirrors a production fraud‑detection pipeline.
Who should attend
- Developers and engineers new to IBM Z / LinuxONE
- Researchers using IBM Bob and other LLMs in experiments or production
- IT professionals expanding enterprise infrastructure skills
- Students and early‑career technologists interested in mainframe, Linux, or AI
