Leveraging Open Source for AI and Development

Join our upcoming online meetup to explore the transformative power of open-source software in the worlds of Artificial Intelligence and modern development. In an era where proprietary tools can be costly and restrictive, the open-source ecosystem offers unparalleled flexibility, innovation, and community support.

This session will provide a practical overview of the current landscape, from running powerful AI models on your local machine to integrating open-source libraries and platforms into your production workflows. We'll discuss the benefits, challenges, and best practices to help you make informed decisions for your next project.
In this meetup, you will learn about:

• The key players and tools in the open-source AI/ML space.
• Practical steps for setting up and running local AI models (e.g., using Ollama).
• Strategies for integrating open-source components into your development lifecycle.
• Best practices for security, dependency management, and licensing.
• Real-world examples of how open source is driving innovation.

Who should attend:
This event is ideal for software developers, AI enthusiasts, DevOps engineers, tech leads, and anyone interested in harnessing the power of open-source technology to build smarter, more efficient applications.
