DeepSeek shook up NVIDIA's shares and hinted at many of us that you could get a lot from running an LLM locally. And that's for those who haven't yet come around trying `llama` from Meta.
At this event, Linux Victoria presents their finding of exploring the intersection between Linux & AI, which is mainly about open-weight models and running them locally.
The schedule for the day is developing and will be updated on this page.
Her's a rough schedule:
6:00 - 6:30 Meet & Greet
6:30 - 7:00 Announcements and AI news
7:00 - 8:00 Discussion
8:00 Heading to the pub
Meanwhile, make sure you check out Linux Victoria's weekly "LAIT Night Chats" on Linux & AI discussions: https://linuxvictoria.org/posts/lait-night-chat-linux-and-ai/
Those who are interested in being involved with planning the event, making contribution or potentially presenting join Linux Victoria's Town Hall on Tuesday, August 5th: https://linuxvictoria.org/posts/2025-08-05_town-hall-meeting-august/
