AI at the Edge: Exploring Gemma and Transformer.js

Join GDG Central Florida for an online event on August 23rd at 10am to explore AI at the Edge. We'll focus on how to use Transformer and Transformer.js to perform inference on-device, even when you're disconnected from the cloud.

This session will cover the benefits of using Small Language Models (SLMs) like Google Gemma that run offline, ensuring privacy and low latency. You'll learn how to build powerful AI applications that are resilient and efficient, no matter your internet connection.

Our incredible community is a great place to network, connect, and share ideas. Don't miss this chance to expand your skills and meet fellow developers.

As a Software Engineer (Web) at Design Interactive, I work with cutting-edge human-system integration (HSI) technologies, which means I get to play with devices like HoloLens and more.
