What we’re about
To see all meetups in this group: https://www.meetup.com/pro/ibm-community/
This is an IBM sponsored Meetup group geared towards developers, data scientists, data engineers, and ALL Big Data, Cloud and AI enthusiasts. Our meetups provide an opportunity to work hands on with the solutions and tools in our Big Data portfolio and to interact and share knowledge with experts at IBM and in our extended community.Our Meetups typically include a presentation that serves as an introduction and overview for a specific Big Data technology and is followed by a few hours to collaborate with fellow developers and apply your Big Data skills. We may provide a free download or a cloud environment that you can run through the browser of your laptop at NO cost to you. Our meetups are FREE.
Meetup topics include:
- Hadoop-based analytics
- Stream Computing
- Text Analytics
- Visualization and Discovery tools for Big Data
- Big Data App Development
- Deep dives into the technologies that makes big data processing possible
- Anything and everything about Big Data
Join us today for a hands on software development experience.

Meta is excited to announce a deeper collaboration between the AI Alliance and Meta’s Llama Stack, marking a significant milestone in advancing open-source AI development. We invite ISVs and businesses of all sizes to explore partnership opportunities with the AI Alliance, Meta, and Llama Stack. Please fill out this form to be considered for partnership opportunities.
This presentation outlines a solution for easily building and deploying applications with Llama models, addressing challenges faced by both developers and API/service providers. The goal is to simplify tasks like inference, fine-tuning, and evaluation, and to provide production-ready agentic workflows. Llama Stack uses APIs and a plugin architecture to offer a standardized interface and toolchain components, enabling flexible deployments across various environments including on-premise, cloud, and on-device.
About the speaker
Kai Wu is a Partner Engineer, GenAI at Meta, where he helps building the Llama ecosystem, including llama model releases, llama-cookbook github and meta-llama hugging-face org. Before joining Meta, Kai worked on large-scale ML infrastructure at Zoom and Wabbi. He now focuses on expanding llama-stack applications and empowering developers to ship production-ready GenAI systems faster.About the AI Alliance

Every AI agent you build eventually hits the same walls: async complexity, brittle orchestration frameworks, and data that can't leave your infrastructure. What if you could build expert AI agents entirely on your laptop, without sending a single byte to the cloud?This session introduces Dana, a local-first agent programming language designed for building AI agents. Get a working expert agent in minutes:
- Long running, multi-step agent workflows on a single line: `step1 | step2 | [step3a, step3b, step3c] | step4`
- Built-in concurrency for parallel LLM calls with zero async keywords
- Deterministic execution with learning loops that improve reliability over time
Whether you're dealing with sensitive data, air-gapped requirements, or cloud API limitations—come see what agent development looks like when everything runs locally.
