Coming up this Friday 👇🏼 Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/dhRxnxgB

Stop treating language #models as black boxes. Join us to build your own #LLM from the ground up—understanding every layer, every attention head, and every training step that brings an #AI to #life. What You'll Learn: 🏗️ #Transformer architecture: decoder blocks, attention mechanisms, and the building blocks of modern LLMs 🔄 From #tokens to text: embeddings, RoPE (Rotary Positional Embeddings), and how models understand language 🎯 #Training your own Gemma: implementing a complete training pipeline with PyTorch ⚡ Modern training #practices: mixed precision, gradient accumulation, learning rate scheduling 🛠️ Beyond APIs: why building from scratch teaches you what no #API documentation can Format - Talk + Demo: 📊 Architectural deep-dive with #visual explanations 🧪 Training demonstrations and #inference examples 📦 Open-source stack you can take home and #experiment with Who Should Attend: #Developers and ML practitioners who want to understand what's really happening inside language models. Whether you're tired of treating LLMs as magic or ready to customise models for specific needs, you'll leave with a complete understanding of the foundations. Prerequisites: Python and basic ML concepts. PyTorch familiarity is helpful but we'll cover the essentials. Plus, once the talk is over you can stay a bit longer for a #networking aperitivo where you can chat, #meet new people, and just have a good time. ✌️ Sign-Up Here: https://lnkd.in/dUyqqCyD

Not every #problem needs an #AI agent. Join us for a #deep dive into #building AI agents that actually make sense—going beyond the hype to understand when, why, and how to deploy #intelligent systems effectively. What You'll Learn: - 🎯 When to use #agents (spoiler: not for 2+2)—understanding the right problems for agentic AI - 🏗️ Agent Design Kit (ADK): patterns and #architectures for building robust agents - 🔧 Agent types: from simple task automation to complex multi-agent #orchestration - 🐋 #Local models with Ollama: integrating open-source LLMs into your agent workflows - 🌐 #Open-source stack: building production-ready agents without vendor lock-in Format: - 📊 Conceptual overview with slides - 💻 Live demos and code walkthroughs - 🛠️ Hands-on patterns you can apply immediately Who Should Attend:  Developers, ML engineers, and tech enthusiasts interested in practical AI development. Whether you're building your first agent or optimizing existing systems, you'll leave with concrete strategies for purposeful AI deployment. Prerequisites:  Basic programming knowledge. Familiarity with Python and LLMs is helpful but not required. Plus, once the talk is over you can stay a bit longer for a networking session where you can chat, meet new people, and just have a good time. ✌️ Sign-Up here: https://lnkd.in/d3DUseKh

🔍 We’re Recruiting! Join Google Developer Group - PoliMi. We’re looking for #creative and #proactive students to join our Team! Last year we: 1️⃣ - For the second consecutive time, we delivered Milan’s biggest student AI #hackathon: GDG AI HACK ’25, engaging 160+ participants and securing €20k+ in partnerships. 2️⃣ - Organised DevFest Milano '24 with 30+ speakers and 300+ attendees. 3️⃣ - Hosted cutting-edge events with partners like Braynr, LEVELS, ASUS, Target Reply, Orama, and more... 4️⃣ - Visited Google's Zurich and Milan HQs and strengthened our network with Googlers. This year we’re taking it to the #next level: bigger events, deeper partnerships, and even more hands-on tech #opportunities. Whether you’re into #tech, design, event #organising, or company #partnerships, we have a place for you! 💡How can you contribute? - Design engaging content for our social media  - Plan and coordinate exciting events  - Build relationships with tech companies and secure sponsorships Ready to make an impact?  🚨 Apply here: https://lnkd.in/dYV4qB4T ⏳ Deadline: 5 October – Midnight (CEST)

We started this #journey just a year ago — a small #team, a big #dream, and the hope that the tech #community at PoliMi would show up. It did. And this year, it wasn’t just PoliMi. ✨ 160 students from all over Europe joined us for GDG AI HACK 2025. They came with #curiosity, stayed for the #challenge, and left with new friends, bold ideas, and memories we’ll all carry for a while. Last year was an experiment. This year felt more like a #movement. What made it special wasn’t just the scale — it was the energy. The way complete strangers teamed up, built crazy prototypes in 24 hours, and cheered each other on like they’d known each other forever. To everyone who joined us: THANK YOU! Your warmth, your messages, your feedback — it means everything. Can’t wait to see where we go next. 💙 https://lnkd.in/dvQCyZJB #GDGAIHACK #GDGPoliMi #Hackathon #TechCommunity #FromStudentsToBuilders #MilanTech #EITDigital

Still buzzing from GDG AI HACK 2025! 💥 Thank YOU ASUS for being such a key part of it! 🙌 The “Human-Computer Interaction” challenge sparked some seriously creative ideas — and the energy was incredible. Congrats to team iClaudes and to all the students who brought their visions to life! 🚀
