AI Austria Meetup

Update: due to the high number of interested parties, we have had to change the venue to Cafe Museum on Karlsplatz.

New year, new format. With the AI Breakfast, we’re creating a San-Francisco-style morning gathering for the Austrian AI ecosystem: casual, high-signal, no stage, no slides — just real conversations.

This is an open exchange for decision-makers, deep tech builders, Clawdbotlers, founders, CIOs, researchers, public sector innovators and anyone actively shaping AI. Corporate meets startup, policy meets engineering, research meets product. The goal is simple: meaningful connections, sharp discussions, and cross-pollination of ideas — before 9am.

Breakfast is ordered at your own expense.
The table is reserved under Cristian Hofmann / AI Austria.
Seats are limited.

Your host Cristian Hofmann, Amin Khater & Ruben Hetfleisch will welcome you.

👉 Please only RSVP if you truly plan to attend 🙂

The Codeforce Returns: Taming LLMs! 🦁

Gone are the days when we just accepted whatever an AI decided to spit out. Nowadays, it’s all about control, precision, and reliability.

Making an agentic system do exactly what you want is an art of its own. This time around, the Codeforce goes hands-on to explore how we can tame these models and force them to play by our rules.

Our regular online meetup brings together makers, tinkerers, and thought-leaders in the GenAI space to unpack what’s new, what matters, and what’s next. We’re inviting everyone to join us for a virtual evening of insights, demos, and discussion.

🌐 What to expect:

• 📈 Trend Talk: The latest GenAI developments and community hot takes
• 🧭 News Radar: Fresh updates from the AI frontier (you know how fast it moves!)
• 🛠️ Live Demo: Taming LLMs. A deep dive into fine-tuning, distillation, and deterministic guardrails in an agentic system.
• 💬 Open Floor: Bring your thoughts, your hacks, and your questions. Everyone’s voice counts!

🎯 Who should join?
Developers, data scientists, AI enthusiasts, or anyone curious about reshaping automation and creativity. Whether you’re building, experimenting, or just exploring: This is your place!
Let’s exchange ideas, explore the tools, and push GenAI forward together.

See you at the GenAI-Codeforce.

🗓️ Online Session – Free to join

AI Austria is back in Innsbruck for the 3rd edition of our local community meetup series!

This meetup is part of our growing AI community in Tyrol, with a clear technical focus. We go beyond high-level overviews and look into how models, systems, and real projects actually work.
The main goal is to learn from each other and to connect industry and academia. Expect technical talks, practical insights, and space for real discussions with people who actively build and research AI.
This event is fully in English, so internationals are very welcome :)
