localAI Catchup - Canberra
A laid-back discussion on running AI locally in Canberra, hear what others are working on and share your own perspective.
Thank you to everyone that joined last time! Whether you're experimenting with models on your own machine, exploring new tools, or simply curious about where local AI is heading, this is a good chance to hear what others are working on and share your own perspective. Hosted by Alexar, the session will be relaxed and focused on useful conversation rather than formal presentations.
