I had the pleasure of presenting at the very first OpenSearch Tel Aviv meetup this past Monday! The event, aptly titled “Search & Generate,” brought together the intersection of OpenSearch and Generative AI in a fantastic community gathering.

The Event: Search Meets Story

This wasn’t just another meetup - it was a historic moment as the first ever OpenSearch meetup in Israel. The evening was perfectly described as “search meets story, index meets imagination,” and it truly lived up to that promise.

My Talk: WTF Are Embeddings?

I presented “WTF Are Embeddings?” - a friendly dive into the mathematical magic behind embeddings. The talk covered:

• What embeddings actually are and why they matter
• Which embeddings to choose for different use cases
• How to generate them effectively
• Practical insights from real-world implementations

The goal was to make embeddings accessible and fun, demystifying the concepts that power modern AI applications.
