**Cloud Native Valencia #2: AI, Open source & KubeCon stories 🚀**

We’re back! And this time, we’re diving into two things everyone’s talking about: AI and KubeCon EU 2025.
Whether you made it to KubeCon London or followed it from Linkedln, this meetup is for you. We’ve got two great sessions lined up — both technical, inspiring, and community-driven:

🧠 **InstructLab - A community-based approach to do synthetic data-based alignment tuning for LLMs -** *Mario Vazquez (Principal Solutions Engineer @ Red Hat)*
Curious about how people are building open-source large language models — together? Mario will show us how InstructLab is bringing the community into the AI loop. Think open-source ChatGPT, but collaborative.

**📦 KubeCon EU Wrap-up - What you missed (and what you didn't know you missed)** - *Chad M. Crowell (Author - Acing the CKA exam, Trainer, CNCF Ambassador, Kubernetes Contributor)*
Chad just got back from KubeCon and will give us the inside scoop: the coolest announcements, the hottest projects, and what’s next for Kubernete

✨ Come hang out with fellow engineers, devs, platform folks, and AI-curious humans. We’ll have:

* Real talks, not just slides
* Live Demo
* Our AMAZING snacks, drinks & networking
* Raffle and a SUPER COOL surprise 🤫
