This meetup is relevant to ML and AI practitioners, but we invite anyone passionate about AI and ML to join us at our office in Prenzlauer Berg. You can expect great talks, pizza, drinks, and networking with people building with AI in Berlin.
Talk #1: Building AI Platform with Ray
Speaker: Sadik Bakiu, CEO and Co-Founder - Data Max
This talk dives deeper into how Ray serves as a foundation for constructing scalable AI platforms that address the increasing demands of modern machine learning. With data modalities expanding, data volumes skyrocketing, and compute requirements intensifying—often necessitating diverse hardware and accelerators—AI infrastructure faces what is now called the "AI Complexity Wall." In the session we will talk about how Ray is addressing such challenges and some real-world examples of using Ray.
Duration: 20 minutes + 10 minutes for Q&A
