Access Multimodal LLMs from .NET Backends with Microsoft.Extensions.AI and .NET Aspire

Talk about using .NET Aspire to orchestrate Cloud Native backends at development time and using Microsoft.Extensions.AI to access multimodal LLMs from your .NET backends - no matter whether they run in the Cloud or locally.

Event Details

Large Language Models are currently one of the most exciting technologies for application developers — and they now support not only text, but also speech and vision. But how can they be efficiently integrated into .NET-based backends?

In this talk, we’ll provide a comprehensive overview of use cases and prompt design, demonstrated through a complex form that we’ll complete using text, speech, and images. We’ll leverage Microsoft.Extensions.AI to provide a unified interface for accessing different language models, host our backend services with .NET Aspire, and also discuss strategies for securing those backend services.
