​What is this event about?

​Our European Engineering team is excited about our progress in aiding the assessment of Large Language Models for applications.

​Since we will be in Cyprus, we've decided to host an in-person AI Hack Lab for those who want to preview a prototype we've been working on.

​If you can be in Cyprus on 17 July, and are involved in AI, please apply to join us.

​AI Hack Labs are similar to FOSDEM Hack Rooms. Participants choose challenges to solve and band together to develop a solution in a few hours. At the end, the various teams give read-outs and demos of their results.

​Our area of focus for this event is simplifying the evaluation of multiple LLMs for a scope of prompts for an application rather than prompt engineering for a single LLM. We'll share a prototype and ask teams to propose ways to improve it.

​Schedule

​18:00 — Meet & Greet from AIFoundry.

​18:15 — Lightning talks.

​If you have any case related to working with models locally that you find valuable and interesting for the community, you can join the lineup with your lightning talk (up to 10 minutes).

​19:30 — Forming teams. Brainstorming and hacking on solutions.

​21:00 — Presenting solutions.

​22:00 — Wrapping up.

​What to bring

​Bring your laptop and your curiosity to explore with others how to make working with LLMs easier for developers.

​“Run LLM on your own machine with llamacpp and llamafile”
Run large language models on your own machine, even if it doesn't have a GPU! Learn how llamacpp and llamafile make it easy, and explore insane tricks and optimizations that make it possible.

​Ioannis Kourouklides
Co-Founder of GUT-AI.

​"Mass adoption of AI for enterprise users".
Join us for a fireside chat on how an Open-Source Foundation on AI can drive mass adoption among enterprise users. Let's discuss the role of open-source in breaking down barriers to AI adoption, fostering collaboration, and creating a community-driven ecosystem to responsible AI research and development available to all humans on the planet.
