El "Taller de agentes IA con AI Studio y Gemma 4", será realizado por el Google Developer Expert Víctor Sanchez (lead organizer del GDG Mallorca) y por Andreu Ibáñez (lead organizer GDG Spain y GDG Lleida), y consistirá en la formación con los sistemas agénticos más modernos que se encuentren disponibles en el momento, ya que esto es una locura y todo evoluciona muy rápido. Previo al taller Andreu nos introducirá brevemente al mundo de los agentes, y su evolución en los últimos meses, para después pasar a la parte práctica de la mano de Víctor. Durante el taller haremos redeem de códigos gratuitos entregados por Google Cloud/Google Developers, para montar una VPS (servidor remoto privado y virtual) donde instalaremos un sistema dockerizado y un agente Hermes, que está comiendo el paso a OpenClaw, y que seguro en breve tendrá competencia. Este agente de IA estará conectado al último modelo de Gemma 4 disponible, lo que nos permite ejecutar instancias locales según el hardware de que dispongamos. La instalación se realiza con Docker, consiguientemente cualquier entorno o tipo de sistema operativo sirve (Windows, Linux, Mac). Y no te preocupes si nunca lo has usado, Víctor te enseñará :) Los asistentes deberán traer su laptop bien cargado y tener conectividad propia vía su propio móvil haciendo de hotspot, ya que no podemos garantizar el caudal para todo el mundo vía wifi. El taller en resumen enseñará a los asistentes a crear la VPS en Google Cloud, instalar el agente Hermes dockerizado y hacer pruebas con un modelo open source Gemma 4. La aplicación de este sistema ya dependerá de cada cual, ya que al ser Gemma 4 multimodal, las aplicaciones son infinitas. De su web: Gemma 4 introduces key capabilities and architectural advancements: Reasoning – All models in the family are designed as highly capable reasoners, with configurable thinking modes. Extended Multimodalities – Processes Text, Image with variable aspect ratio and resolution support (all models), Video, and Audio (featured natively on the E2B and E4B models). Diverse & Efficient Architectures – Offers Dense and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) variants of different sizes for scalable deployment. Optimized for On-Device – Smaller models are specifically designed for efficient local execution on laptops and mobile devices. Increased Context Window – The small models feature a 128K context window, while the medium models support 256K. Enhanced Coding & Agentic Capabilities – Achieves notable improvements in coding benchmarks alongside native function-calling support, powering highly capable autonomous agents. Native System Prompt Support – Gemma 4 introduces native support for the system role, enabling more structured and controllable conversations. Aunque el taller es gratis, el local exige un consumo mínimo por persona de una pizza y una bebida, aprox 14 €.

En esta conferencia combinaremos una mirada profunda de autoconocimiento con un enfoque práctico de desarrollo personal, para ayudarte a dar claridad y sentido a tu vida, tanto a nivel personal como profesional. Exploraremos el propósito desde una doble perspectiva: por un lado, como algo que se descubre al mirar hacia dentro; y por otro, como algo que se construye a través de decisiones, acción y compromiso. Durante la sesión trabajaremos: ✅ Qué es realmente el propósito — y cómo descubrirlo y definirlo ✅ Misión, visión y valores personales — la base de una vida coherente ✅ El enfoque IKIGAI — alineando lo que amas, en lo que eres bueno, lo que el mundo necesita y lo que puede sostenerte ✅ Metas y objetivos con sentido — cómo definirlos desde tu identidad, no desde la presión externa ✅ Claves prácticas de autoconocimiento — preguntas y dinámicas para avanzar con claridad ✅ Herramientas de Coaching y PNL para orientar tu camino Será un espacio para reflexionar, ordenar ideas y empezar a trazar una dirección más consciente y alineada contigo. **Ponente:** Alejandro Alonso - Coach **Colaboración**: 5€ (costes de sala y organización) **Formato**: Presencial y participativo.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
