#7 Applied AI Journal Club Bern - Juni

We’re excited to invite you to the June edition of the Applied AI Journal Club Bern 🎉

(There is no attendance limit, so just stop by even if Meetup says it's full! Happy to have you with us!)

🕓 Agenda

18:25 Wrap-up and open exchange
18:30 End of event

📘 Preparation
Please read the selected paper in advance so that you’re familiar with the main ideas and key concepts. We won’t present the paper in detail — instead, we’ll focus our time on discussing its content, insights, and real-world implications.

Paper:
DiffusionGemma (A Visual Guide to DiffusionGemma)
https://newsletter.maartengrootendorst.com/p/a-visual-guide-to-diffusiongemma
Published by Maarten Grootendorst.

The article visually explains Google DeepMind’s DiffusionGemma, an experimental text-diffusion model that generates and refines full text blocks in parallel instead of token-by-token. This approach shifts the hardware bottleneck from memory bandwidth to compute power, enabling up to four times faster text generation on local GPUs.

📍 Location & Registration

• We are welcomed at the inpeek AG office (Bogenschützenstrasse 9) in the PostParc building next to the train station.
• Altough meetup.com limits the capacity to 10 registrations (we don’t pay for additional capacity), the event is not limited. If you don’t secure an ordinary spot, just join the waitlist—you’ll still be very welcome! This helps us plan and know how many people to expect.
• The event will be held in english
