Whether you are a seasoned professional in operationalizing ML systems or just getting started with Machine Learning in production, you are invited to join this limited event, attend a talk and network with other professionals in the field. **About the talk:** AI models become more complex, the cost of inference—both in terms of computation and energy—continues to rise. In this talk, **[Minette Kaunismäki](https://www.linkedin.com/in/minette-kaunismaki/ "https://www.linkedin.com/in/minette-kaunismaki/")** will explore how combining compression techniques such as quantisation, pruning, caching, and distillation can significantly optimise model performance during inference. By applying these methods, combining compression enables reductions in model size and computational load while maintaining quality, thereby making AI more accessible and environmentally sustainable. The talk and Q&A will be in English. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Mandatory registration on Eventbrite via **[this link](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wimlds-x-mlops-paris-how-to-make-ai-models-faster-cheaper-greener-tickets-1979986773740?aff=oddtdtcreator)** ⚠️⚠️⚠️ ⏰ **Planning** * 18h45 - 19h15 : Accueil & introduction 👋 * 19h15 - 20h15 : Talk 🎤 * 20h15 - 22h00: Cocktail & échanges 🥂 🎙 **Speakers** **[Minette Kaunismäki]()** is Developer Advocate @ Pruna.ai 🙌 **Sponsors et entreprises participantes** \*\*[Vestiaire Collective ](https://us.vestiairecollective.com/ "https://us.vestiairecollective.com/")\*\*is a C2C global platform for buying and selling pre-owned luxury and premium fashion.

*Le Café des Vraies Conversations,* *Le Café des Rencontres Profondes !* **🌟Première Édition🌟** Un café pas comme les autres : ici, on ne “networke” pas … on se rencontre vraiment. Chaque édition, la Wise ouvre un espace chaleureux où l’on vient pour échanger autrement : des discussions authentiques, profondes, vivantes, autour des sujets qui nous passionnent. Sur place, plusieurs tables thématiques (art, culture, sport, entrepreneuriat, société, créativité, etc.). Tu choisis ta table selon ton envie du moment, tu t’assois, et tu entres dans une conversation guidée qui fait du bien et fait grandir. **Pourquoi venir ?** • Rencontrer de belles personnes, au-delà du small talk • Explorer des idées et des points de vue différents • Apprendre et transmettre, sans posture, sans jugement • Repartir inspiré.e, avec des contacts et des déclics **À quoi s’attendre ?** • Accueil & ambiance café (cadre cosy, bienveillance, simplicité) • Choix des tables : tu rejoins le thème qui t’appelle • Table ronde en petit groupe (écoute, respect, parole partagée) • Option : changement de table pour croiser de nouvelles énergies • Clôture : 1 idée forte / 1 rencontre marquante / 1 prochaine action **Les règles d’or** • Confidentialité : ce qui se dit ici reste ici • Écoute active : on comprend avant de répondre • Parole partagée : chacun a sa place • Aucun jugement : on accueille les expériences et les vécus • Authenticité : tu viens comme tu es La Wise Community est heureuse de vous convier à cette première édition de son nouveau concept d’innovation sociale “Wise Human Coffee” qui sera animé par des professionnels et des passionnés de l’Humain ! **🎯POUR QUI ?** : Pour celles et ceux qui ont envie de : sortir des échanges superficiels, rencontrer une communauté curieuse et bienveillante, nourrir leur esprit, leur cœur, et leurs projets. **🌐LIEU :** Kawaa Lucernaire (53 rue Notre Dame Des Champs, 75006 Paris) **🗓️ DATE :** 24/01/2026 (14h30-17h30) **💰TARIF :** Participation libre + Consommation obligatoire sur place DROIT A L’IMAGE : En participant à cet évènement, vous acceptez d'être filmé(e) uniquement dans le cadre des enregistrements de groupe réalisés par la Wise (aucun enregistrement individuel ne sera effectué). **🌟 QUI SOMMES NOUS ? 🌟** « Et si au lieu d’écouter toutes ces personnes qui nous expliquent combien tout va mal, nous nous rassemblerions pour ériger un monde meilleur ? » Au sein d’une société divisée et fragilisée, il est temps de replacer l’humain au centre du système et des interactions. Beaucoup de personnes aspirent à redonner du sens à leur existence et leur cheminement, à s’accomplir, à atteindre leurs rêves, et non ceux de la société ou de leur entourage. Pour cela, il est important de revenir à l’essentiel : savoir "qui je suis" pour savoir "où je vais" en respectant mes valeurs et mes aspirations. La Wise Community est une communauté solidaire, multigénérationnelle, qui rassemble les personnes de bien en quête de sens et de lien social. Notre vocation : agir ensemble, avec le cœur, pour un monde meilleur.

Dans un monde saturé d’informations, penser devient un acte à part entière. Il ne s’agit pas de réagir à chaud ni d’échanger des opinions, mais d’exercer la pensée là où les évidences vacillent, où les émotions sont fortes, où les réponses toutes faites ne suffisent plus. Penser par soi-même ne va pas de soi ; cela demande du temps, de l’écoute, de la rigueur, et l’acceptation du désaccord. Ces rencontres invitent à pratiquer l’art du dialogue philosophique : non pour convaincre mais pour rendre pensables les tensions qui traversent notre époque. **Tarif unique :** 7€ **Nous trouver :** Espace Falguière, 12 rue Falguière 75015 Paris

Let’s meetup at Cafe Istanbul for the last day of Restaurant Week. You get three courses for $30. This is the menu: https://614now.com/rw-menu/cafeistanbul-easton

Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Optional topic for this meet up: Is life a dream? Is life a simulation? Dreams feel real while they last. Could life work the same way? How do we know we’re awake, and what follows if we can’t be sure? Let’s kick that around over a around of drinks: • What makes something feel real: continuity, shared evidence, or meaning? • How do we know we're not in a simulation? • How would you tell you’re awake (reality checks, memory, other people)? • If life is dreamlike, what becomes of free will and responsibility? • Is identity a story we keep telling—who’s the narrator? • Are we author, actor, or audience in our dreams and how would you tell? • Does art/film reveal reality or replace it? No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it’s fun.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, February 11 at Streetlight Guild. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. **SCHEDULE:** 6:45ish - Quick introductions 7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour 8:00 - The End **OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. **BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild! **WHAT SHOULD I BRING?** Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you! **OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:** * **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space! * **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels. * **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay! * **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA
