En el taller nuestro compañero y Google Developer Expert en Web Technologies, Víctor Sánchez, comentará sobre: In this codelab, you will learn about Google Antigravity (referred to as Antigravity for the rest of the document), an agentic development platform, evolving the IDE into the agent-first era. Unlike standard coding assistants that just autocomplete lines, Antigravity provides a "Mission Control" for managing autonomous agents that can plan, code, and even browse the web to help you build. Antigravity is designed as an agent-first platform. It presupposes that the AI is not just a tool for writing code but an autonomous actor capable of planning, executing, validating, and iterating on complex engineering tasks with minimal human intervention.

We’re thrilled to announce a special edition of BcnRust taking place inside the **Talent Arena at Mobile World Congress 2026**, thanks to the collaboration between the **[Rust Foundation](https://rustfoundation.org)** and **[Mobile World Capital Barcelona](https://mobileworldcapital.com/)**. This unique event brings together hands‑on workshops, a community meetup, and exclusive access for Rust developers across Spain — including our friends from **[MadRust](https://www.meetup.com/es-es/madrust/)**, represented by our meetup speaker **[Jorge Ortiz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jorgeortiz/)**. **📅 Schedule — Wednesday, March 4th** **Workshop 1 — General Access** 9:30h – 10:45h **When Floats Lie:** *Performance, and why Rust keeps AI from corroding* **Speaker:** [Lawrence Freeman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thedatachef/) "Floating-point numbers are prone to subtle failure modes that erode performance and correctness. We will build a small quantization framework in Rust, evolving step by step as we move from numeric fundamentals to Post-Training Quantization (PTQ) for AI inference. You’ll learn how quantization works at the bit level, and why Rust is becoming critical infrastructure for high-performance, resource-constrained, AI-driven systems." This session is free to attend. Simply register at: 👉 [https://talentarena.tech](https://talentarena.tech) **Community Meetup — XPRO Access** 13:30h – 14:30h (extended until 14:50 if needed) **Make Rusty AI** *Building an agent from scratch using Rust and open‑source tools* **Speaker:** [Jorge Ortiz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jorgeortiz/) (MadRust) "Artificial intelligence has infiltrated nearly every aspect of our lives. Assistants are now capable of performing tasks that were once science fiction, and we’ve started integrating them into our daily routines. But do you fully understand the concepts at play? Can you distinguish between a chatbot and an agent? Could you write your own AI tools? In this talk, we’ll build an agent from scratch using Rust and open-source tools. While the session will involve live-coding, the focus will be on understanding the core concepts and applications of artificial intelligence. It’s an opportunity to explore how emerging technologies are reshaping the way we interact with computing—and how you can contribute to this revolution." Join us for a deep dive into practical Rust‑powered AI, followed by community discussion and networking with Rustaceans from Barcelona, Madrid, and beyond. **Workshop 2 — XPRO Access** 16:45h – 18:00h **From fRusTrait‑ion to Async Mastery**: *Become a Rust Trait Hero in 90 minutes* **Speaker:** [Lawrence Freeman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thedatachef/) **🎟️ About the XPRO Passes** Thanks to the Rust Foundation, we have **150 XPRO passes** available for the community.

Projects that are over budget, delayed, or that fail to scale past the POC phase are very common. In many of these scenarios, choosing the right approach can be as critical as the solution itself. Should you build a tailored machine learning model, leverage the power of large language models (LLMs), or integrate with AI copilots? Each option has unique strengths, trade-offs, and resource requirements, and the key to success lies in aligning your choice with your business goals and technical constraints. In this talk, we will go beyond the basic concepts and definitions to provide a practical guide that allows attendees to navigate these decisions through real-world case studies. We will examine scenarios in which different AI paradigms were chosen, discuss the factors that influenced those decisions, and outline the process for evaluating needs, constraints, and outcomes. From assessing data availability and team expertise to balancing cost and scalability, you'll gain insights into the critical considerations that guide the selection process. By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear process for determining whether machine learning, LLMs, or copilots are best suited to your AI challenges and understand the resources and strategies needed to bring your chosen solution to life. This talk is ideal for decision-makers, technical leads, and innovators seeking to demystify AI implementation and maximize the impact of their investments.

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

Join other experienced and aspiring agile coaches and professionals to: * develop and practice your coaching skills in a peer-to-peer environment * share current successes and challenges in your work environment and get support from each other * learn from each other, build better relationships and experiment with new ideas

Meeting @ Improving's office in Downtown Columbus, near Cosi. Parking is paid, food & drink are free! This time we're hanging out after the long winter break. We are going to look at a group-member's project used to help learn the fundamentals of Go, and if time allows, we can take a look at how we like to build Go projects using AI.
