Train, tune and distribute models with generative AI and machine learning capabilities
FOSDEM (Free and Open source Software Developers' European Meeting) is a two-day event organized by volunteers to promote the use of open source software. FOSDEM usually takes place in Brussels (Belgium). The 2025 edition features 1143 speakers, 1090 events, and 79 tracks and you can see the schedule here. If you aren't in Brussels, you can watch the live streams from the main tracks and developer rooms such as the "Low Level AI Engineering & Hacking" Dev Room. There is a track on AI and there are Lightning Talks too.
