OpenUK London #20: Open AI

Due to an ongoing maintenance issue in our regular venue, we are moving just two stops south to Borough. Please double-check the location in the event details before you travel!

Wednesday 15th January we're back with our 20th OpenUK London community meetup! We've had the hype, now let's get real with how AI is working for us, of course the open source kind! (Open AI in the title is not to be confused with OpenAI because that is not open.)

6:30 pm: Arrive on time, grab a bev, a slice and a chat. Scope out our swag table (bring pieces to contribute or trade!)
Add to our whiteboarding brainstorm

6:45 pm: Welcome, reminder of code of conduct, and discussion of whiteboard
7:00 pm: State of AI Openness 2024 explained with Amanda Brock, OpenUK CEO
7:20pm: Speech to Speech translation with a cascade of open source models, presented by AI developer Nikita Krasnytskyi
7:40 pm: Unum Cloud, advanced AI computing company for scaling intelligence, presented by founder Ash Vardanian
8:00 pm: Zeval: Open Source Testing Library for LLMs, presented by Matt Carey
8:45 pm: Clean up and leave. Bring tupperware so we don't waste pizza!
We will give one ticket away to someone online and to someone in person to this year's State of Open Con!

Thank you to our sponsors Avanade for providing this great space and yummy pizza!
