What we’re about
This is the Rome chapter of PyData, a community for everyone who loves Python, data, or meeting with tech fellows.
Our goal is to create an inclusive environment where people can connect, share their work, and exchange ideas on tackling evolving challenges in AI, data science, engineering, research, and industry applications. We are passionate about open-source tools and collaborative learning, bringing together enthusiasts and professionals from diverse backgrounds.

PyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States. PyData provides a forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. The global PyData network promotes discussion of best practices, new approaches, and emerging technologies for data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. PyData communities approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R.

Jaeger Advisor: How I built my own personal TripAdvisor in just half a day
In half a day, I built a personal TripAdvisor by linking Notion to Google My Maps. I can save, tag, and rate places in Notion and see them instantly on a custom map, keeping full control of my data without relying on external platforms.Python 3.14 (or "π-thon" for real nerd pythonists)
Python 3.14, a brave new version of the language, tries to embrace perfection. It moves us one step forward into the
free-threaded era where nothing is (globally) locked anymore. Let's see together where we are so far and where we can go further!The unsatisfying issue of AI's environmental impact
In a talk that has the potential to be irritating for both environmentalists and AI-optimists, we will tackle the growing concern about generative AI's environmental impact. We'll explore the energy costs of AI in an accessible way, look at what companies reveal (and don’t) and try to answer the question: is AI's energy cost an overblown issue, or should we be worried?From OpenAI to DeepSeek: New Scaling Laws for LLMs that can Reason
With o1, OpenAI ushered a new era: LLMs with reasoning capabilities. This new breed of models broadened the concept of scaling laws, shifting focus from train-time to inference-time compute. But how do these models work? What does "inference-time compute" exactly mean? What data do we use to train these new models? And finally - and perhaps more importantly: how expensive can they get, and what can we use them for?Sign Up!
