Pykonik, Kraków Python User Group

Pykonik is a community of those using, learning, or curious about Python. Please also check out our website, where you can sign up to give a talk at the next meeting: https://pykonik.org

This time we welcome you to the new venue in the spaces of ECHO Miasta (Kapelanka 56)!

THE TALKS:
- Maciej Maciejewski -- Big AI is lying to you.
Big AI is lying to you. The popular knowledge about LLM's and AI in general is serving us with mix of folk lore tales of tech CEO, half-baked truths sprinkled with trust-me-bro benchmarked science, glased in public neophobia (fear of the new). This talk will be highly opinionated, yet I will make my best effort to distinguish facts and knowledge based on state-of-the art AI research from those opinions. Are LLM's non-deterministic? Is AI safe? Will it skynet? Should you be worried about your job?

- Paweł Piwosz -- Docker and FastMCP. How to build reliable MCP Server in minutes.
MCP Servers took the world by storm almost overnight. In this hands-on talk we go through all elements needed for a functional application. We will build it using UpCloud as the infrastructure layer, Docker as orchestration, using the MCP Toolkit and Docker Model Runner. And finally, the Python library FastMCP. Join me and see how easy it is to build AI applications with the right tools!

Lightning talks
Anyone can grab the mic and/or screen to speak for 5 minutes on any (even non-Python) topic. Register for a lightning talk during the event.

Afterparty
During the lectures, starting from 18:00, the bar at the venue will be available just for us. After the presentations are finished, we're staying for the afterparty/networking part of the meetup at the venue.
