LLM Benchmarks on CPU/GPU, and How to Open It to the Community at Zero Cost Don't forget to get your ticket on Eventbrite to register for the event: https://www.eventbrite.it/e/can-your-laptop-run-ai-tickets-1985370183664 More and more enthusiasts are trying to run AI/ML models directly on their own laptops. However, there has been a lack of objective, standardized, and reproducible third-party benchmarks focused on technical performance, such as tokens per second or training time. In fact, there *was* a lack of them. This talk will cover two main topics. On the one hand, it will present the results of real benchmarks on AI workloads executed on local hardware, including LLM inference (3B to 14B) and tabular ML models, comparing CPU and GPU performance, latency, and model scaling. On the other hand, a significant part of the talk will focus on the making-of of the project, which was built entirely using open tools and at zero cost. Moving from an idea, to an individual project, to a solution that anyone can contribute to required a fairly articulated architecture and a mix of tools: not only Python code, but also automation with GitHub Actions, managed DuckDB through MotherDuck, Streamlit Cloud, and much more. Speaker: Alberto Danese is Head of Data Science & Advanced Analytics at Nexi, where he leads the development of machine learning products and data-driven solutions for the digital payments sector. He has more than 15 years of experience in data science and engineering and is a Kaggle Competitions Grandmaster. He often shares experiences and projects related to AI and data science through technical and managerial talks, as well as through his blog, *All About Data*.

Texture painting is an art technique where artists create dimension and relief on a surface using materials like texture paste, modeling paste, plaster, or thick acrylics. Instead of working only with color, the focus is on form, depth, and tactile surfaces — building layers that you can both see and feel. Tools like palette knives, spatulas, brushes, and even everyday objects are used to sculpt the surface. **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls.

This workshop is for those who feel the need to slow down, disconnect from routine, and experience something real through art. Imagine yourself in a unique studio in Milan, near Gorla metro — the space of a well-known Italian artist. An authentic creative atmosphere: easels, paints and brushes, traces of color on the floor, vintage paintings and antique frames around you. You sit in front of a blank canvas… and begin to create what you feel. You can paint from your phone, a printed image, or your imagination. No experience is needed. This is not about rules or perfection — it’s about expression. I gently guide you through the process and help you bring your idea to life in your own way. ✨ Create your own painting — for yourself or as a meaningful gift ✨ All materials are included You can come alone or with friends, meet new people, and enjoy a calm, creative atmosphere. Small group. Personal attention. A real creative experience you will feel. I speak English, Italian, Ukrainian, and Russian — but art doesn’t need words. We speak through color, form, and feeling. Small group (max 6 people) to ensure personal attention. 💰 Price: €30 (all materials included)

Please update your RSVP by Wednesday 1 April! Let's unwind after work with a relaxed evening by the Darsena in Navigli. We'll enjoy a beautiful red sunset with 20C, right by the water, soaking in the sky views, spring vibes, and a fresh drink. Aperitivo is €15 including one drink and Sicilian tapas. We can then have a walk along the Darsena and see where the night takes us. No strict plans, just chill, sunset, and great company. If you can't make it right at the start, feel free to join later!

Beyond the Image 🎨 \| Art & Photo Experience in Milan This is not a workshop — it’s a creative portal where people meet who are not afraid of themselves, their thoughts, or their beauty. Open to both men and women. But it’s not for everyone. This is not about “painting something nice.” It’s about stepping out of your usual image and seeing yourself without a filter. A studio in Milan, near Gorla metro. A real artist’s space — not polished, not staged. High walls, antique frames, paint on the floor. This is where art is created, not performed. You sit in front of a canvas. Wearing something that doesn’t hide you — natural tones, simple fabrics, a dress or a linen shirt without prints. Something you don’t mind getting a little paint on. Because neatness is control. And here, we let go of it. A glass of wine — to relax and release even deeper. You don’t paint “beautifully.” You paint honestly. I know how to teach — but I won’t. I don’t give templates. I stay close, so you don’t escape yourself in the process. And in that moment, the photographer is working. He doesn’t create “pretty pictures.” He captures truth. A glance. A pause. The movement of your hand. The moment of doubt. The moment you let go and begin. Light and shadow are shaped so you don’t pose — you become part of the frame. This is not just photography. It’s a captured state. 👉 Take a look at the style of photos we create during this live experience — this is not about posing, but about capturing real moments, atmosphere, and your natural presence. We are not about perfection. We are about what is real. There are no “right” people here. Only real ones. We stand for a life without masks. For the courage to see your beauty — not through standards, but through feeling. I speak Italian, English, Ukrainian, and Russian — but here, the real language is color and sensation. ✨ What you receive: — your own painting (30×40 cm, acrylic) — professional black & white portraits — natural group photos — a creative video of the experience — a glass of wine Small group — up to 6 participants. Personal attention. 💰 Price: €80 (all included) Spots are limited. And honestly — it’s not for everyone.
