​🗣️ Demo Talks

​Building fast serverless apps with DeepSeek R1 and any open-source HuggingFace model

​As more developers venture into AI, the gap between finding a great model and using it in a production setting remains a significant step. While platforms like OpenAI & Anthropic have made inference-by-API seamless, the vast ecosystem of open-source models (often more niche and cost-effective for different use cases) remains out of reach for many developers who just want to build applications. Darin will demonstrate how Featherless can bridge this gap from model discovery to production for you and your organisation without losing your sanity (or your savings).

​Bridging the gap between AI agents and data sources.

​Born from a practical need in their own startup, Airweave enables semantic searching across apps, APIs, and databases through automated chunking, vectorization, and vector store syncing. Lennert will showcase real implementation examples and host an open discussion about building agent-driven applications.

How AI will redefine the way we experience and interact with products

​This talk will walk through the evolution from traditional to AI-driven UX, examining the shift from command-based to intent-based interactions. Through practical examples and a fictional product walkthrough, Stefano will demonstrate how trust, transparency, and user-centered design principles shape the future of AI product experiences.

• *I'm not technical. Can I come?
Yes, but to enjoy the meetup, we recommend to learn about these LLM Concepts: Multimodal, Vector Embeddings, RAG, Chaining, Structured Output, Function Calling, API calls, Knowledge Graphs, Reinforcement Learning, Fine-tuning, Agents.
Additionally: Computer Vision, Diffusion Models, DevOps, MLOps.
