**Community Partnership - Registration Here:** **https://nebius.com/events/nebius-build-berlin#form** # Nebius.Build/BER The Nebius Build Tour is a series of in-person technical gatherings designed for engineers working on real-world AI infrastructure. Join ML engineers, platform architects, and technical founders for deep dives into deploying, scaling, and operating AI systems in production. This is not a marketing conference — it’s a focused environment for builders to share architecture patterns, lessons learned, and practical approaches to running AI workloads at scale. Nebius.Build/BER brings together engineers from Nebius and partners including Anyscale and Tavily, with sessions covering distributed training, running open source models in production, and scaling workloads across large GPU clusters. The program includes a mix of technical talks, partner sessions, and a hands-on workshop, where you can deploy your own model and connect it to a working inference pipeline. The program includes talks on real architecture breakdowns and implementation details from teams running production systems, with discussion of inference scaling, latency, reliability, and cost-performance tradeoffs, alongside practical deployment workflows. The content runs from 13:00 to 16:30, followed by a networking reception and a help bar, allowing time to connect directly with engineers and peers. Register your interest to receive updates on upcoming events and be the first to secure a place when registrations open near you. ## Full agenda  ### 12:00-13:00 –– Registration and lunch  ### 13:00-13:15 –– Opening remarks and scene setting Waqas Makhdum, VP of Developer Relations & Community, Nebius  ### 13:15-13:45 –– AI Cloud talk: From prototype to production: reliable clusters for large scale distributed training Evgeny Arhipov, Head of Scheduler Services: Managed Soperator, Slurm, Nebius  ### 13:45-14:30 –– Token Factory talk: Post training in production. Making open models reliable at scale Dylan Bristot, Product Marketing, Token Factory Sujee Maniyam, DevRel, Token Factory  ### 14:30-15:00 –– Coffee break  ### 15:00-15:25 –– Breakout sessions: select your preferred track on the registration form **Track 1 — Partner talk: Anyscale** Physical AI at scale: Efficient VLA training on hundreds of GPUs Carl Winkler, Anyscale Physical AI is entering a new era, with VLA models reshaping how robots learn to see, reason, and act from a single architecture. But scaling VLA training across hundreds of GPUs exposes a core infrastructure challenge: the data is heterogeneous, the compute is heterogeneous, and in traditional batch pipelines, expensive GPUs sit idle while CPU steps run. This talk shows how streaming execution eliminates that waste by continuously feeding data through CPU and GPU stages in a single unified pipeline, keeping GPU utilization near 95% instead of waiting for each step to complete. We will walk through the full data pipeline, from show how fault-tolerant streaming on Anyscale, deployed on Nebius AI Cloud, lets teams efficiently utilize hundreds of GPUs, process massive multimodal datasets, recover from failures without restarting from scratch, and dramatically speed up the development cycle from data to training. **Track 2 — Workshop** Hands-on with OpenClaw: Bring your own model Mikhail Rozkhov, TPM, Nebius In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to deploy a custom model and connect it to OpenClaw to build a usable AI service. We start by deploying a model to a serverless endpoint, making sure it is accessible, stable, and ready for inference. From there, we integrate the deployed model with OpenClaw, configuring it to handle requests, route inputs, and expose a clean API. Along the way, we cover the practical details that matter in real setups: model compatibility, endpoint configuration, and how to make the system reliable end to end. By the end of the session, you will have a working pipeline where your own model is deployed, connected to OpenClaw, and ready to be used in real applications.  ### 15:25-15:50 **Track 1 — Agentic Search: Context Management in Research Agents** Agentic search is not just about retrieving information. It is about delivering the right context, in the right form, at the right time for an agent to reason effectively. In this talk, we explore the architecture behind deep research systems through lessons from building Tavily’s research API. We examine how agent harnesses are designed, how context is managed across multi-step workflows, and which context engineering techniques most improve performance in practice. Evan Rimer, Forward Deployed Engineer, Tavily **Track 2 — Workshop** Hands-On with OpenClaw: Bring Your Own Model (continued) Mikhail Rozkhov, TPM, Nebius  ### 15:50-16:05 –– Keynote address  ### 16:05-16:20 –– Fireside chat with keynote speaker Waqas Makhdum, VP of Developer Relations & Community, Nebius  ### 16:20-16:30 –– Wrap up and closing remarks Waqas Makhdum, VP of Developer Relations & Community, Nebius  ### 16:30 –– Help bar Networking happy hour with bites

Dear Kotlineers, After a slightly longer break than planned - we are back! This time we meet in the chambers of **voize GmbH** \- one of Berlin's \(if not the\) most flourishing startups\. As the flowers open and the days stretch long, we're dancing into May with some talks. **Line-Up:** 👉 **Coroutines behind the scenes** by *Sergey Shkurov* Have you ever wondered how Kotlin coroutines actually work under the hood? In this talk, we dive into the JVM bytecode behind suspend functions and reconstruct the state machines step by step. You’ll follow a hands-on exploration of real compiled code and see how continuations and suspension actually work. 👉 **YOUR TOPIC HERE** by *TBD* **Speaker Bios:** 🗣 *Sergey Shkurov* A Kotlin enthusiast since 2019. 🗣 *YOUR NAME HERE* TBD

**ℹ️ The next meetups will be managed on Luma.** **You can register for this event 👉 [here](https://luma.com/zma43t8d). Follow the Django User Group Berlin Calendar on Luma.** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-​ In April, we'll be hosted again by [MPB](https://www.mpb.com/de-de?utm_source=luma), the second-hand market for camera and video equipment, running good ol' Django. Be sure to chat to them while you sample their food and drinks. This month, like last, we'll have a speaker from within our own community, **Sofia Fischer**, Backend Developer at Kraken Technologies. The title of her talk is: "**How complex is my function?**". This talk will give an overview of complexity metrics in computer science, software engineering, and linguistics to show many different ways in which a function may be complex. Based on the Django Framework repo, I will show how a project can be analysed with different complexity metrics.

Bitte via Mail anmelden: anmeldung@gedoplan.de **Referent:** Martin Boßlet, Berater, Dozent und Softwareentwickler **Datum und Uhrzeit:** Donnerstag, 30.04.2026, 18:00 – ca. 19:30 Uhr **Ort:** Online mit Zoom Seit zwei Jahren reden alle über KI-gestützte Entwicklung - und vieles klingt gleich: Gestern war Prompt Engineering der Beruf der Zukunft, heute ist es Context Engineering. Claude Code gegen Codex, GitHub Copilot vs. Cursor, Tool-Vergleiche hier und da. Die Älteren unter uns werden sich mit einem Schmunzeln an Vim vs. Emacs erinnert fühlen. Während CEOs bis hin zum Digitalminister den Untergang der programmierenden Zunft ausrufen, wenden sich viele Entwickelnde frustriert ab. "Das ist nichts für mich" - diesen Satz hört man oft. Die Branche scheint sich in zwei Lager zu spalten: auf der einen Seite diejenigen, die KI fast schon aus Trotz konsequent ablehnen, auf der anderen KI-Propheten, die zumindest der Erzählung nach ihren kompletten Alltag mit KI bestreiten und der Konkurrenz schon längst meilenweit voraus sind. Die eigentliche Frage lautet: Warum gehen die Erfahrungen so weit auseinander? Die These dieses Vortrags: Der Engpass liegt meist weder im Modell noch im nächsten "Tool du jour", sondern in fehlendem, verstreutem oder nur implizit vorhandenem Kontext. Der Schlüssel zu erfolgreicher KI-Zusammenarbeit liegt deshalb nicht in besseren Tools oder clevereren Prompts, sondern in der ältesten Technologie der Menschheit - Sprache. Genauer gesagt: in Markdown als universeller Schnittstelle zwischen Mensch und Maschine. Anhand von Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), Mermaid-Diagrammen, **[AGENTS.md](https://www.linkedin.com/safety/go/?url=http%3A%2F%2FAGENTS%2Emd&urlhash=jh-H&mt=F7bnie71WnYrGR3aD-BiSMeaQCiWniKDxaG65SbBgq37lq5u7OZ1P6NjRp-YTlrvhyBy30Lf47AWfYCmtVLwNg99MBUc-2e8qYUzQLXNViKKD4LeW5gizS3yWw&isSdui=true)**-Datei und Agenten-Skills zeige ich, warum Text-First Development kein Retro-Trick ist, sondern ein praktikables Arbeitsmodell für die KI-Ära. Wer Architektur, Entscheidungen und Konventionen in Text statt in Tickets, Chat-Verläufen oder auch nur an der Kaffeemaschine festhält, bekommt bessere KI-Ergebnisse, mehr Präzision und weniger Nacharbeit. Und ganz nebenbei entsteht endlich wieder etwas, das in der Softwareentwicklung jahrzehntelang zu teuer war: aktuelle, brauchbare Dokumentation für Mensch und Maschine. Kein Talk über Prompt-Hacks, Tool-Vergleiche oder das Tool der Woche, sondern über eine einfache, praktische Frage: Wie müssen wir Software bauen, damit KI-Unterstützung nicht nur beeindruckend wirkt, sondern dauerhaft nützt? Die Antwort ist überraschend einfach: kein Tool-Zirkus, kein Hokuspokus. Einfach nur Text. Nach Ihrer Anmeldung schicken wir Ihnen den Anmeldelink zu.

Hello everyone, After a great restart last month, we’re happy to invite you to the next Rust Berlin meetup at the JetBrains office. We’ll stick to the classic format: an evening with two main talks, followed by time to connect, discuss, and catch up with the community. Finger food and drinks will be available throughout the evening. **Agenda** * Doors open: 18:30 * Start: 19:00 * Short welcome and updates from JetBrains * 2 talks (20–30 minutes each) * Open mic / lightning talks (optional, a few minutes each) * Networking **Speakers** Egor Lebedev - Welcome and a short note from the RustRover team Till Adam - Slint-MCP In this talk, Till will walk you through the implementation of the MCP server for the Slint GUI framework - and how it's implemented in Rust. He will walk you through the implementation from design to implementation. Gaurav Gahlot - Rust meets Kubernetes This talk is a hands-on walkthrough using kube-rs. We'll connect to a cluster, query pods, watch real-time events via async streams, and build a minimal controller - all in Rust, all running live. **Speaker Bios** Till Adam is the CCO at KDAB and has been working on open-source since the 90s. Originally a C++ company, KDAB has been working with Rust for the last 8 years. One of their biggest projects is CXX-Qt. Their specialization on the Rust side is use in hybrid, high-performance, high-correctness codebases. Gaurav Gahlot is a Software Engineer with experience building scalable platforms with Go, Rust, and Kubernetes. He maintains the CNCF Akri project and actively contributes to open source. **Open mic & future talks** We’ll reserve a few short slots for anyone who wants to share something with the group. This can be a quick idea, a project, or an experience. Slides are optional. If you’re interested in giving a longer talk at a future meetup, this is also a good opportunity to connect with the organizers. **Venue & access** Please arrive on time. We will have someone at the entrance to let people in between 18:30 and 19:15. After that, access becomes more difficult as the doors are locked and require manual opening. **Registration** The venue has limited capacity and events typically fill up with a waiting list. If you register and can no longer attend, even at short notice, please un-RSVP so someone else can take your spot. Looking forward to seeing you all!

**⚠️ IMPORTANT: REGISTRATION MANDATORY ⚠️** Registration on **Luma** is **REQUIRED** to attend this event. **Link: https://luma.com/q57evozo?utm_source=meetup** Your registration is subject to host approval. You must complete the registration process on lu.ma to receive the full event location details and confirmation of your attendance. **Please note: Without approved registration on Luma, you will NOT be able to access the event location or attend.** We are excited to host a **BLISS x dida** workshop featuring **Elias Trommer** from **Infineon**, who will guide us through an interactive session on Embedded AI. ​​​ **Title:** Deep Learning Models on 5€ microcontrollers 📅 **Date:** 29.04.2026 🕕 **Time:** 18:00 📍 **Location:** TU Berlin Marchstrasse 23 [Room 0.011] ​​​The session will last around 2 hours, followed by a networking session with **dida** and fellow AI enthusiasts (and free pizza!🍕). Bring your laptop! *** ​**Abstract**: In this workshop, we will discuss the unique challenges (and solutions) faced when deploying Deep Learning models to embedded microcontrollers. These tiny devices are increasingly capable of running models, even for relatively complex use cases, but come without many of the comforts of a classic computer. When deploying a model to a microcontroller, a much deeper understanding of the physical hardware and good knowledge of the various optimization paths that help reduce the resource consumption of an application is needed. We aim to shed some light on how to deploy models to these cheap, ubiquitous and sometimes surprisingly capable little pieces of hardware. ​**In this session, we will cover:** * ​Important differences between a desktop/server and a bare-metal embedded system * ​Quantization for model compression * ​Anatomy of an Embedded Application * ​Embedded ML Inference Engines and how to run them * ​Deploying a model step by step ​**Who is this event for?** This session is targeted at anyone with basic ML knowledge. Experience with C and embedded systems is probably helpful, but not required. We will cover the most important aspects as part of the workshop. **⚡ FINAL REMINDER ⚡** **You MUST register and be approved on Luma to attend.
