We're back and excited to feature **Nouamane Tazi**, who is currently a Research Engineer at **HuggingFace** and will discuss "**Scaling LLM Training to Thousands of GPUs**", lasting approximately 45 minutes. After the talk, seize the opportunity to connect with fellow AI enthusiasts to share ideas and questions while enjoying free drinks and pizza. **Door close by 7.15pm, so please come early! Also, "attend"ing (RSVP) here on Meetup is strictly necessary to be guaranteed entry.** Please note that Meetup has recently been quite keen on promoting its Plus program. However, you are not obligated to purchase it, as both our events and the platform remain free. **Who is this event for?** This event is open to everyone interested in state-of-the-art AI research. We especially design it for students, PhD candidates, academic researchers, and industry professionals with a research focus in machine learning. **Abstract**: Training large language models at scale introduces a cascade of systems bottlenecks absent at smaller scales: from communication overhead and memory fragmentation to subtle numerical instabilities that surface only across thousands of devices. This talk covers the practical design choices behind scaling LLM training to thousands of GPUs: what parallelism strategies work (and when they break), how to keep training runs efficient and stable, and the engineering trade-offs that shape modern pretraining infrastructure. The presentation aims to be accessible to a broad ML audience, drawing on real-world experience from large-scale open-source training runs at Hugging Face. **Bio**: Nouamane Tazi is a Machine Learning Research Engineer at Hugging Face, specializing in training and scaling large language models. He is a co-author of SmolLM3 and The Ultra Scale Playbook, and his research spans NLP, deep learning, and scalable AI infrastructure. We are [BLISS](https://bliss.berlin/) e.V., the **AI** **organization** in Berlin that **connects like-minded individuals** who share great interest and passion for the field of machine learning. This summer 2026, we will, again, host an exciting speaker series on site in Berlin, featuring excellent researchers from cohere, ETH Zürich, University of Oxford, HuggingFace, and Stanford University.

Abstract We ran everything in one Azure subscription. Leads and sales, installations and steering energy systems. Everyone had access. Most resources were created manually. It was unclear who owned what. As the tech org grew from 100 to 300 people, reinventing security and scaling individually stopped working. We'll cover how we approached platform building as gardeners rather than architects: observing what already works, replicating it, and letting rituals emerge before encoding them. We'll look at some mistakes we made along the way and what we learned from each. *Dayana Mick* **It works… but no one understands it: The hidden problem in DevOps** For several years, I kept asking the same question to senior developers, staff engineers, and mentors: “What is a build?” I rarely got a clear answer. Not because people didn’t know, but because the mental model had faded somewhere between Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, and “just run this command.” At some point, I realized I could run pipelines, deploy services, and fix things just enough to move forward, but explaining what was actually happening was much harder. And I was not the only one. This talk is about a pattern I’ve seen across every company I’ve worked at. Systems that work, but are not really understood. Teams running platform commands from memory. Platform teams becoming bottlenecks. Incidents where even experienced engineers hesitate. And situations where people rely on tools without a clear sense of what is actually happening underneath. With AI, this is only accelerating. This is a talk for anyone who has ever copy-pasted a command, watched it work, and decided not to ask further questions. It is especially relevant for junior and mid-level engineers navigating DevOps complexity, and for teams who are trying to scale tooling without losing shared understanding.

In this session we'll be discussing the first quadrant in astrology - the first, second and third houses, as well as the spring signs, Aries, Taurus and Gemini. In astrology, the **First Quadrant** is all about **the development of the self**—your identity, instincts, and how you begin interacting with the world. It covers the first three houses of the birth chart and represents the earliest stage of personal growth. This section of the chart is often called the **“personal quadrant”** because it focuses on **self-awareness and individual needs**, before we fully engage with others. ## The Bigger Meaning of the First Quadrant Together, these houses describe a journey: 1. **Discover yourself** (1st House) 2. **Establish your worth and resources** (2nd House) 3. **Learn to interact and communicate** (3rd House) It’s like the **early stage of life development**—from being born, to understanding your needs, to starting to speak and relate. We will also be looking at the spring signs and the most significant upcoming transits such as the impressive Aries stellium in April, Uranus' ingress into Gemini (it will stay in the sign until 2033) and Chiron's ingress into Taurus in June. **Guidelines**: – Start: 18:30 sharp (arrive earlier if you like) – Please stay on the topic of astrology – Respect, warmth, and honesty are essential – Kindly RSVP in advance, as we need to confirm with the venue Warm regards, Finja, Maca, Sara & Julian *We collect a 5€ cash contribution on site to support the platform costs.*

Hello fellow Symfonians, we are thrilled to announce the next user group meeting of the year, featuring two insightful talks that you **won't want to miss**! This time we are hosted by c-base (Rungestrasse 20 10179 Berlin). Come by and enjoy an evening of learning, networking, and socializing with fellow Symfony and PHP developers. **Agenda:** 18:30: Doors open 19:00: Welcome and Introduction 19:20: **Talk 1: "Maintainable Frontends for Symfony" by Daniela Berger** 19:50: Break & Snack 20:00: **Talk 2: "Why every CMS needs MCP" by Roland Golla** 20:40: Socializing **Talk Details:** **Talk 1: "Maintainable Frontends for Symfony" by Daniela Berger** In many web projects we find more backend devs than frontend devs, sometimes significantly so. This often leads to devs with little frontend experience being asked to do frontend development anyway, and they often end up shaping their frontends in ways that will make their lives unnecessarily hard. One common result are frontends that are functionally unmaintainable because each change - whether it is a new feature or a bugfix - requires implementing an exception to existing code, thus making the code increasingly and unnecessarily complex. This is especially upsetting because with a bit of experience it is possible to implement light-weight frontend components with equally elegant CSS and JavaScript that are easy to extend and to adapt to new requirements without digging oneself into a deeper hole with each PR. And since Symfony is making frontend development steadily more accessible to backend devs with Symfony US / Stimulus, this is a good time to take a closer look at \*how\* to structure these frontends. This talk aims to a) introduce core frontend concepts that backend devs might not be aware of, b) show best frontend practices both on the code level and on the architecture level, c) show a few common mistakes that can be found in inexpertly implemented frontends, and c) introduce tools that will make consistent frontend development easier. **Talk 2: "Why every CMS needs MCP" by Roland Golla** Your content team already works in ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Yet the content still lands in the CMS backend manually, clumsily, slowly. MCP changes that. One sentence in chat becomes a published article. No copy pasting, no formatting, no clicking. And the content ranks. On Google, on ChatGPT, on Perplexity, on whatever comes next. Good content written by AI directly into the CMS goes live faster and gets found. I show you the MCP plugin for Sulu CMS: open source, built on Symfony, ready to deploy. But this is not about implementation. It is about the three questions every content team must ask: Why does every website need MCP? What does good AI content look like? And why is conversational content management better than anything you click together in a backend? MCP makes content creation as easy as chat. If you can write, you can publish. No CMS training, no workflow, no waiting. Live on stage: a complete workflow from idea in chat to published article in Sulu CMS. Everything open source on GitHub. Don't miss these insightful talks, engaging discussions, and networking opportunities. We can't wait to see you at the **April Symfony User Group**!" If you have any questions or accessibility requirements, please reach out to us. Also, if your company wants to be the next host for the User Group, just let us know!

Join us on April 23 in Berlin and bring all your questions! :) **Tom Kaltofen: *"Building Deterministic Context Layers for AI Agents"*** [Tom Kaltofen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomkaltofen/) is an Engineer at [DHL Data & AI](https://www.linkedin.com/company/dhl-data-ai/) and a Creator at [mloda.ai.](http://mloda.ai.) About his keynote: "Data access and reuse are still unsolved, and AI agents are making it worse. This talk goes deeper into that problem: AI agents depend on reliable context (data, features, intermediate state) to make correct decisions. In practice, this context is tied to specific pipelines or infrastructure, leading to brittle systems when moving from prototype to production. I'll show how a plugin-based approach lets teams build deterministic context layers: separating what you compute from how you compute it, so the same feature definitions work on a laptop and in production. The talk includes a live demo where an AI agent discovers and queries data features programmatically. " **Behnaz Derakhshani: *"What If I Started Today?

Raw, unstructured, and full of noise. The first step was making them worth keeping: trimming duplicates, removing what no one ever read, and transforming what remained into structured, queryable signals. That foundation changed everything. Once logs became first-class — with clean attributes, consistent structure, and a clear purpose for every line — the rest of the observability stack followed naturally. Monitors built on log queries. Dashboards that actually meant something on incidents. Metrics generated directly from log attributes, giving us long-term retention without the cost of keeping everything raw. **📅 19:45 - Best Practices for Alerting with Datadog (30 min.)** **🎙️**Speaker: Santiago Gomez Saez, Datadog ambassador & Principal Cloud Architect @ **[dxone](https://www.dx.one.gmbh/)** Operational excellence is the main objective of SRE teams. Focusing on alerting, this talk shares common pitfalls and best practices on how and when to alert when incidents occur.

Wichtig: Bitte meldet euch über den [offiziellen Link der Symfony Group](https://www.meetup.com/de-de/sfugberlin/events/314105549/?eventOrigin=group_upcoming_events) an Hallo liebe Community, die Symfony User Group trifft sich bald wieder – und ich freue mich besonders darauf, dieses Mal selbst einen Talk beizusteuern. Außerdem steht eine spannende Session mit Daniela Berger auf dem Plan, die euch garantiert neue Impulse für euren Symfony‑ und PHP‑Alltag liefert. Das Treffen findet bei c-base statt (Rungestraße 20, 10179 Berlin). Wer Lust auf einen Abend voller Austausch, frischen Ideen und netten Gesprächen hat, ist herzlich eingeladen vorbeizuschauen. **Programm:** 18:30 Uhr: Einlass 19:00 Uhr: Begrüßung und Einführung 19:20 Uhr: Vortrag 1: „Wartbare Frontends für Symfony“ von Daniela Berger 19:50 Uhr: Pause & Snack 20:00 Uhr: Vortrag 2: „Warum jedes CMS MCP braucht“ von Roland Golla 20:40 Uhr: Geselliges Beisammensein **Vortrag 1:** **„Wartbare Frontends für Symfony“ von Daniela Berger** In vielen Webprojekten gibt es mehr Backend- als Frontend-Entwickler, manchmal sogar deutlich mehr. Dies führt oft dazu, dass Entwickler mit wenig Frontend-Erfahrung trotzdem mit der Frontend-Entwicklung betraut werden, und sie gestalten ihre Frontends häufig so, dass sie sich das Leben unnötig schwer machen. Ein häufiges Ergebnis sind Frontends, die funktional nicht wartbar sind, da jede Änderung – sei es eine neue Funktion oder ein Bugfix – die Implementierung einer Ausnahme vom bestehenden Code erfordert, wodurch der Code zunehmend und unnötig komplex wird. Das ist besonders ärgerlich, da es mit ein wenig Erfahrung möglich ist, schlanke Frontend-Komponenten mit ebenso elegantem CSS und JavaScript zu implementieren, die sich leicht erweitern und an neue Anforderungen anpassen lassen, ohne sich mit jedem PR in ein tieferes Loch zu graben. Und da Symfony mit Symfony US / Stimulus die Frontend-Entwicklung für Backend-Entwickler immer zugänglicher macht, ist jetzt ein guter Zeitpunkt, sich genauer anzuschauen, \*wie\* man diese Frontends strukturieren sollte. Dieser Vortrag zielt darauf ab, a) zentrale Frontend-Konzepte vorzustellen, die Backend-Entwicklern möglicherweise nicht bekannt sind, b) bewährte Frontend-Praktiken sowohl auf Code- als auch auf Architekturebene aufzuzeigen, c) einige häufige Fehler aufzuzeigen, die in unsachgemäß implementierten Frontends zu finden sind, und d) Tools vorzustellen, die eine konsistente Frontend-Entwicklung erleichtern. **Vortrag 2:** **„Warum jedes CMS MCP braucht“ von Roland Golla** Ihr Content-Team arbeitet bereits mit ChatGPT, Claude und Gemini. Dennoch landet der Content immer noch manuell, umständlich und langsam im CMS-Backend. MCP ändert das. Ein Satz im Chat wird zu einem veröffentlichten Artikel. Kein Kopieren und Einfügen, keine Formatierung, kein Klicken. Und der Content rankt. Bei Google, bei ChatGPT, bei Perplexity, bei was auch immer als Nächstes kommt. Guter Content, der von KI direkt ins CMS geschrieben wird, geht schneller online und wird gefunden. Ich zeige Ihnen das MCP-Plugin für Sulu CMS: Open Source, auf Symfony aufgebaut, bereit zur Bereitstellung. Aber hier geht es nicht um die Implementierung. Es geht um die drei Fragen, die sich jedes Content-Team stellen muss: Warum braucht jede Website MCP? Wie sieht guter KI-Content aus? Und warum ist dialogbasiertes Content-Management besser als alles, was Sie im Backend zusammenklicken? Mit MCP ist das Erstellen von Inhalten so einfach wie Chatten. Wer schreiben kann, kann auch veröffentlichen. Keine CMS-Schulung, kein Workflow, keine Wartezeiten. Live auf der Bühne: ein kompletter Workflow von der Idee im Chat bis zum veröffentlichten Artikel im Sulu CMS. Alles als Open Source auf GitHub.

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
