Brandon is the founder and lead developer of the Protomaps project. For this talk he’ll focus on Places data: geographical datasets of places in the world like landmarks and storefronts. Access to good Places data is the foundation of location-based apps, recommender systems and photo tagging.

Recently, Meta and Microsoft have released a global dataset of 60 million places with an open source license. He will show how to analyze and visualize this dataset using the Protomaps tools, DuckDB and Supabase.

AI in the Browser and on the Edge

In this talk we'll take a look at the awesome open source library Transformers.js which allows us to run pretrained models right in the browser with no need for servers! Additionally we'll explore how we've brought AI inference and LLMs into Supabase Edge Functions, allowing you to run certain AI workloads faster and more cost-efficiently on the Edge!
