We're back and excited to feature **Nouamane Tazi**, who is currently a Research Engineer at **HuggingFace** and will discuss "**Scaling LLM Training to Thousands of GPUs**", lasting approximately 45 minutes. After the talk, seize the opportunity to connect with fellow AI enthusiasts to share ideas and questions while enjoying free drinks and pizza. **Door close by 7.15pm, so please come early! Also, "attend"ing (RSVP) here on Meetup is strictly necessary to be guaranteed entry.** Please note that Meetup has recently been quite keen on promoting its Plus program. However, you are not obligated to purchase it, as both our events and the platform remain free. **Who is this event for?** This event is open to everyone interested in state-of-the-art AI research. We especially design it for students, PhD candidates, academic researchers, and industry professionals with a research focus in machine learning. **Abstract**: Training large language models at scale introduces a cascade of systems bottlenecks absent at smaller scales: from communication overhead and memory fragmentation to subtle numerical instabilities that surface only across thousands of devices. This talk covers the practical design choices behind scaling LLM training to thousands of GPUs: what parallelism strategies work (and when they break), how to keep training runs efficient and stable, and the engineering trade-offs that shape modern pretraining infrastructure. The presentation aims to be accessible to a broad ML audience, drawing on real-world experience from large-scale open-source training runs at Hugging Face. **Bio**: Nouamane Tazi is a Machine Learning Research Engineer at Hugging Face, specializing in training and scaling large language models. He is a co-author of SmolLM3 and The Ultra Scale Playbook, and his research spans NLP, deep learning, and scalable AI infrastructure. We are [BLISS](https://bliss.berlin/) e.V., the **AI** **organization** in Berlin that **connects like-minded individuals** who share great interest and passion for the field of machine learning. This summer 2026, we will, again, host an exciting speaker series on site in Berlin, featuring excellent researchers from cohere, ETH Zürich, University of Oxford, HuggingFace, and Stanford University.

Der Sprachklub bietet einen Raum, um Russisch in entspannter und freundlicher Atmosphäre zu sprechen. Die Treffen ermöglichen nicht nur, vorhandene Kenntnisse zu festigen, sondern auch den Wortschatz durch lebendige Gespräche und spannende Themen zu erweitern. Hier hat jeder die Möglichkeit, neue interessante Menschen kennenzulernen, eigene Erfahrungen zu teilen, und mehr über die russische Kultur zu erfahren. Ganz bald findet in Berlin die Nacht der Bibliotheken statt, und aus diesem Anlass treffen sich die Teilnehmer des Sprachklubs, um über ihre Lieblingsbücher zu sprechen. Lesen ermöglicht es, in andere Zeiten und Länder einzutauchen, sich in andere Lebenswelten hineinzuversetzen und dabei ganz persönliche Erfahrungen zu sammeln. Bei dem Treffen tauschen sich die Gäste über ihre Liebe zum Lesen, ihre Lesegewohnheiten und Vorlieben bei der Buchauswahl aus und sprechen darüber, was für sie ein gutes Buch ausmacht. Das Treffen findet in der Puschkin-Bibliothek statt und erhält dadurch eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre. Außerdem haben die Teilnehmenden die Möglichkeit, die Bibliothek des Russischen Hauses zu entdecken und sich als Leser anzumelden.

The Mindful Artist's Way is suitable for anyone who wants to write — without pressure, comparison, or the need for perfection. For anyone who wants to discover their own voice or reconnect with it. This workshop series treats your writing as a mindful and relationship-oriented process. Each session is an invitation to dive deeper into your own perception, voice, and creativity — without pressure to perform, without comparison, without right or wrong. The focus is on writing as a mindful practice: slow, embodied, and connected. Instead of technique, performance, or optimization, it’s about perception, inner security, and the relationship to your own voice. Each workshop is self-contained and at the same time part of a larger journey. Step by step, you are invited to build trust: in yourself, in your writing, and in the creative process. The series is inspired by the mindful and artistic approaches of Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, but follows its own path: gentle, individual, and realistic. Get to know your writing as a partner rather than just a product. What to bring: All you need is your laptop or whatever else you want to write on. I have pens, paper, tea, and vegan cake for you. If you like, bring your headphones, because I’ve created an exclusive writing playlist for you. You can also book the **sessions individually (€15)** **[BOOK HERE](https://sarahniklowitz.de/the-mindful-artists-way/)** Sunday, 08.02.2026 3 - 5 p.m. **Open the Door: Short Stories for Beginners** Sunday, 22.02.2026 3 - 5 p.m. **Writing From Within: Your Body Becomes a Source of Writing** Sunday, 08.03.2026 3 - 5 p.m. **The Art of Not Knowing: Letting Go of Control and Trusting Your Writing** Sunday, 29.03.2026 3 - 5 p.m. **Change of Perspective: Writing From Unusual Angles** Saturday, 11.04.2026 3 - 5 p.m. **Shape Your Story – But Mindfully** Sunday, 26.04.2026 3 - 5 p.m. **Become Visible and Stick With It: Share Your Story And Strengthen Your Relationship With Your Writing**

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us.
