Join us for a practical, beginner-friendly guide to choosing the right large language model. We’ll compare major models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama, talk about when to use hosted APIs versus local models, and break down the tradeoffs around cost, speed, quality, privacy, context windows, coding ability, and reliability. You’ll leave with a clearer mental model for picking an LLM based on your actual use case instead of hype, benchmarks, or brand names. No deep AI background required. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

**🎉 Speed Dating without the Venue for Detroit Singles Tonight** You'll rotate through short virtual speed dates with Detroit singles your age curated by personality quiz, as a welcoming host takes care of everything. As part of your registration, you take a short personality assessment — those results are used to pair you intelligently with Detroit locals, so every round is informed by more than just looks. After all the rounds, we share who chose whom — exclusively for mutual selections — and you reach out whenever you are ready. **Registration — choose your age group:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Detroit&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Detroit&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=30-46&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Detroit&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=40-58&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Detroit&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=55+&face_v=3.0) **⚠️ Do not skip this:** Clicking rsvp is only the first step not the whole process, so register through the age group link, complete the form, and take the two-minute personality quiz — capacity is restricted so act soon, and your place is confirmed only once you have done both. --- **Made for:** - Members around Detroit moving on from matches that ghost after two messages and are ready for something genuine instead. - Women and men living in Detroit bored of endless scrolling and zero real dates and are serious about meeting someone. - Returners living in Detroit wanting to escape app fatigue and empty match queues and want to try something that actually works. - Members from the Detroit area leaving behind apps that waste evenings for no return and are after something more than a swipe can offer. **Four simple steps** 1. **Complete registration** – through the link corresponding to your age range, then take the brief personality quiz, because this is the only way to be confirmed. 2. **Show up on Zoom** – via your Zoom registration link at the right time, any device works and no download is required, and everything from that point is handled by the host. 3. **Go through the rounds** – quick private video rounds with age-matched Detroit locals paired by quiz, as the host signals each transition calmly and clearly, given that the matching was done before the evening started. 4. **Review your matches** – we reveal mutual matches once the session ends, as your data only goes to someone who matched you back, and the next move is completely yours to make. --- ✨ Detroit singles worth meeting are in this event — grab your spot above and we will do the rest while places last. Your next chapter might start tonight. ❤️‍🔥 ✨

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
