Hello everyone! What better way to kick off the year than with a meetup?

Save the date for an evening where we’ll catch up on the latest and greatest in AI and hear from two great speakers.

Meeting this time at Maria 01 and hosted by our friends at Verda (formerly DataCrunch).

Verda is one of the fastest-growing Finnish companies. They provide a cutting-edge cloud infrastructure for Frontier AI. Think: a European challenger to AWS with AI and renewable energy 🌱

We will hear from:

Riccardo Mereu, ML Engineer at Verda on Unlocking FP4: Low-Precision AI on NVIDIA Blackwell
- Riccardo will break down FP4 on NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra, explain why low-precision formats matter for scalable AI, and share practical insights from working with Blackwell Ultra GPUs.
Shantipriya Parida, Sr AI Scientist at AMD Silo AI on LLMCompression: How Far Can We Go in Balancing Size and Performance?
- Shantipriya will review key quantization methods and examine how model compression can lower model size and inference costs while maintaining strong performance, providing practical insights for real-world MLOps.

We’ll continue the evening with drinks, bites, and chats with the local MLOps community.
