Hey everyone, It's my pleasure to announce 2 contributors have been accepted as GSoC students for Beam this year!
Ayush Pandey will be working on a project to implement RAG example pipelines using Beam [1]. This will be a really valuable addition to Beam's ML offering, showing how users can leverage things like MLTransform and Enrichment for interacting with LLMs. @Jack McCluskey <jrmcclus...@google.com> and I will be mentoring Ayush for this project. Reeba Qureshi will be working on adding new features to Beam Yaml, including onboarding new IOs and ML transforms [2]. This will help more fully round out our growing Yaml offering and should make low code pipelines even more attainable. Reeba also was a GSoC contributor last year [3] and we're really excited to have her back! @Jeff Kinard <jkin...@google.com> and I will be mentoring Reeba for this project. Welcome to the community Ayush, and welcome back Reeba!
