**‼️‼️ Rejestracja na stronie:** [https://globalai.community/events/build-localhost/9583jnyk/](https://globalai.community/events/build-localhost/9583jnyk/) **‼️‼️ Rejestracja na stronie:** [https://globalai.community/events/build-localhost/9583jnyk/](https://globalai.community/events/build-localhost/9583jnyk/) ## Dołącz do Microsoft Build Community Event we Wrocławiu! 🚀 Dołącz do społecznościowego wydarzenia dla deweloperów, skupionego wokół nowości z konferencji Microsoft Build! Tym razem wchodzimy na wyższy poziom pracy z AI i od samego początku bierzemy na warsztat wdrażanie, monitorowanie oraz uczenie agentów sztucznej inteligencji w środowisku produkcyjnym. Agenci AI rzadko zawodzą podczas demówki – prawdziwym testem jest dla nich produkcja. Podczas tego spotkania skupimy się w całości na praktycznym warsztacie z wykorzystaniem Microsoft Foundry. Niezależnie od tego, czy dopiero eksperymentujesz z AI, czy wdrażasz już zaawansowane rozwiązania – to intensywne spotkanie pozwoli Ci zrozumieć, jak skutecznie optymalizować, oceniać i bezpiecznie wdrażać produkcyjne systemy agentowe. *** ### 🗓️ Format wydarzenia Wybrany format: Pełny Warsztat Hands-on (Full Workshop) Poziom zaawansowania: (200) Intermediate Średniozaawansowany Łączny czas: około 3 godziny (z przerwą na pizzę) Miejsce spotkania (GlobalLogic, Strzegomska 48a, Wrocław) jest w pełni przystosowane do pracy warsztatowej: stoły, gniazdka oraz stabilne Wi-Fi będą dostępne dla wszystkich uczestników z własnymi laptopami. *** ### 📅 Agenda – Czwartek, 25 czerwca 18:00 – Check-in i networking 18:15 – Powitanie, otwarcie i wprowadzenie do laboratorium 18:30 – Warsztat (BRK231/LAB520) – Część 1: Deploy & Observe Rozpoczynamy pracę z platformą Microsoft Foundry. Zobaczysz, jak zespoły programistyczne konfigurują i monitorują agentów AI na produkcji, zbierając realne sygnały o ich działaniu. 19:30 – Przerwa na pizzę 🍕 i networking 20:00 – Warsztat (BRK231/LAB520) – Część 2: Learn (Reinforcement Learning & Fine-tuning) Przechodzimy do zaawansowanej optymalizacji. Przeanalizujemy, kiedy fine-tuning redukuje koszty i opóźnienia (latency), a kiedy uczenie ze wzmocnieniem (RL) przynosi najgłębsze zyski dla systemu. 21:00 – Podsumowanie, Q&A oraz kolejne kroki *** ### 🛠️ O warsztacie (BRK231/LAB520) Deploy. Observe. Learn. Reinforcement learning for production agents Przejdziemy wspólnie przez ścieżkę optymalizacji systemów agentowych, opierając się na architekturze Microsoft Foundry. Dowiesz się, jak bezpiecznie trenować, oceniać i wdrażać agentów, a także posłuchasz o realnej drodze od eksperymentów z RL do systemów produkcyjnych (m.in. na przykładzie case study od Johnson & Johnson). *** ### ✅ Wymagania przed wydarzeniem Warsztat jest prowadzony na poziomie średniozaawansowanym (Intermediate). Aby wyciągnąć z niego 100% korzyści, upewnij się, że masz ze sobą: 💻 Własny laptop (Windows / macOS / Linux) wraz z zasilaczem. 🛠️ Zainstalowane środowisko programistyczne (np. Visual Studio Code). 🌐 Podstawową znajomość pojęć związanych z AI/Machine Learning oraz aktywne konto na platformie Azure / GitHub (dokładne wymagania dotyczące subskrypcji i dostępów do Microsoft Foundry przekażemy bliżej terminu wydarzenia). *** ### 📍 Jak dojechać? 📌 Lokalizacja: GlobalLogic, Strzegomska 48a, Wrocław 🚉 Komunikacja publiczna: przystanek „Park Biznesu” – tramwaj 13, autobusy 132 i 142 🅿️ Parking: dostępny bezpośrednio pod biurem GlobalLogic *** ### 📜 Code of Conduct Zależy nam na stworzeniu przyjaznego, bezpiecznego i inkluzywnego środowiska dla wszystkich uczestników. Rejestrując się na wydarzenie, akceptujesz zasady społeczności. 👉 Global AI Community Code of Conduct **‼️‼️ Rejestracja na stronie:** [https://globalai.community/events/build-localhost/9583jnyk/](https://globalai.community/events/build-localhost/9583jnyk/) **‼️‼️ Rejestracja na stronie:** [https://globalai.community/events/build-localhost/9583jnyk/](https://globalai.community/events/build-localhost/9583jnyk/)

Based on the novel Roadside Picnic, it is NO picnic, but rather one of the masterpieces of world cinema. Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 Soviet sci-fi classic, recounts the expedition of a writer and professor led by a mysterious guide called "The Stalker." to a futuristic wasteland called "The Zone." Dripping with existential dread, it continually presents strange occurrences that will have us debating the meaning of what we've just viewed right through the ending. *Stalker* (1979) can be streamed for free on HBOMax, the Criterion Channel or Kanopy. It's also available for rent on Amazon Prime and AppleTV. The Columbus Library has two copies on disc.

BACK TO CABS!!! Come to CABS Friday 7/10 & Saturday 7/11 - return to CABS as we come back from Origins and the 4th of July Holiday Break. Come play the new games added to the library at Origins!!!

These meetings will be a building block approach to learning photographic mastery over three disciplines: Mechanical Mastery (MM) - 13 weeks of the series Exposure Mastery (EM) - 26 weeks of the series Composition Mastery (CM) - A 52 week series All three series will run concurrently and will dovetail as follows: Q3/26 - MM (Iter 1), EM (Iter 1, Pt 1), CM (Iter 1, Pt1) Q4/26 - MM (Iter 2), EM (Iter 1, Pt 2), CM (Iter 1, Pt2) Q1/27 - MM (Iter 3), EM (Iter 2, Pt 1), CM (Iter 1, Pt3) Q2/27 - MM (Iter 4), EM (Iter 2, Pt 2), CM (Iter 1, Pt4) That's likely confusing, but essentially, MM offered 4 times in that period, EM offered 2 times, and CM offered 1 time. **TO BE CLEAR - THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THESE CLASSES.** This is an aggressive series, with presentations, homework, group shoots to be added in, likely at LEAST twice a month, image critiques, and an expectation that you are willing to put in the work to elevate your photography significantly. Open to all levels and all equipment levels. Don't let hesitation about your skillset and/or gear keep you from a one-time opportunity. The group will meet every Monday, with periodic exceptions, and we will try to keep as close as possible to the original plan. Obviously, more data to come, and will be published as this is further developed, but now is the time to decide if you want to be a part of this.
