freeCodeCamp is a free online coding platform and global network of software and web development enthusiasts. It aims to make coding accessible to anyone; all you need is a computer, an Internet connection and a desire to learn. Our meetups are very relaxed and open to people of all abilities, from absolute beginner to professional. Come along to get help with solving a coding challenge (freeCodeCamp curriculum or otherwise - don't forget your laptop!), to get advice on becoming a developer, or to simply meet like-minded coders in London.

freeCodeCamp is also excited to announce that it is also planning to organise cutting edge A.I.-specific workshops and events –watch this space! more details to follow soon

Regular meetups take place in locations around central London. All abilities are welcome, from absolute beginner to professional!

freeCodeCamp x Encode | AI - Workshop: Vibecoding Using Local AIs
11 de jun. de 2026 18:00 BST
Encode Hub, 41 Pitfield St, London, N1 6DA, London, GB
# Learn how to use open-source harnesses like OpenCode & Pi w/ your own LLM and with it, build a real-world application

Registration to this event is only valid through the Luma platform: https://luma.com/11txn8gq

Hello code campers!
Since everyone is talking about using harnesses such as Anthropic Claude or OpenAI Codex, meaning, everyone is probably tired of hearing about them, we've decided to go in a different direction and explore other, lesser known things such as, OpenCode and Pi DOT Dev.

Come and join us and learn how to work with a wide range of open-source large language models (LLMs) such as DeepSeek V4, Gemma, Kimi K2, and GLM across various local-first environments. This comprehensive workshop is designed to teach you what is a code harness, how many types of them there are out there (you might be familiar with Claude Code or Codex or CoPilot but there are others and since the big-tech companies are moving to token-based usage, why not run your own solution locally). Also, we'll explore how to go about having effective agentic coding workflows while benchmarking model performance and hardware requirements.

We will go through the setup process, focusing on how to install the desired LLM runner like Ollama or LMstudio locally.

This will be our 7th event in our series of local-first, open-source AI events; therefore, we will try to focus on building a setup that doesn't depend on Big Tech but on smaller open-source tech instead.

This workshop is open to all levels, from beginners to experts.

Bring your laptop (make sure it's fully charged as local LLMs tend to be power-hungry), and don't forget to bring your coding gear (hoodie).
This workshop will be most likely accompanied by a guest speaker (TBD).
