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.

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*.

🌸 **Ritiro Speciale di Pasqua – Il Portale del Nuovo Inizio** Milano, 2-6 Aprile La primavera risveglia la vita e ci invita a rinascere. La Pasqua simboleggia l’opportunità di chiudere un ciclo e dare il benvenuto a uno nuovo: un momento per lasciare andare ciò che non serve più e aprirsi a nuove possibilità con chiarezza e fiducia. In questo ritiro di evoluzione interiore con l’uso cosciente di piante maestre, apriamo Il Portale del Nuovo Inizio: uno spazio protetto dove concludere tappe con consapevolezza e attivare l’energia della trasformazione che ti permette di intraprendere nuovi cammini. Mentre fuori si celebra tra simboli e tradizioni, noi scegliamo di rivolgere lo sguardo verso l’interno, creando uno spazio dedicato a una rinascita profonda, consapevole e autentica. Piante Maestre, Pratiche Integrative e Tecniche Olistiche trasformative ti accompagneranno nell’esplorazione dei paesaggi interiori, dove i blocchi possono sciogliersi e si aprono nuove opportunità di crescita e realizzazione personale. ✨ Questo ritiro è un invito a chiudere con gratitudine ciò che è pronto a essere lasciato andare, ad aprire il tuo essere a nuove possibilità e a compiere il primo passo verso un ciclo ricco di un nuovo significato. **Un’esperienza profonda di trasformazione, guarigione e risveglio** Un’esperienza trasformativa pensata per guidarti in un viaggio profondo dentro te stesso. Attraverso l’accompagnamento di facilitatori e terapeuti esperti, il ritiro integra pratiche ancestrali e moderne come Terapia Sistemica, meditazione, respirazione cosciente e danza enteogena. Ogni esperienza è unica e adattata alle tue esigenze, favorendo la liberazione di blocchi emotivi e l’espansione della coscienza. Il lavoro con piante maestre sostiene un processo di guarigione autentica, aiutandoti a superare schemi limitanti, riconnetterti con la tua essenza e risvegliare il tuo potenziale interiore in modo reale e duraturo e consapevole profondo. **La prenotazione include:** • Alloggio e pensione completa, con opzione vegana o vegetariana. • La partecipazione ai laboratori di approfondimento con i nostri facilitatori, che servono anche come preparazione prima della sessione notturna. • Le integrazioni di gruppo del mattino per condividere l’esperienza o ampliare la comprensione di ciò che sta accadendo nel tuo processo. • Una sessione con strumenti ancestrali ogni notte di ritiro (se vuoi farne più di una durante il giorno di ritiro, si considera come una sessione aggiuntiva) con l’accompagnamento della nostra equipe di facilitatori. • Appoggio prima, durante e dopo il ritiro • Sessione integrativa online post ritiro.

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.

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
