Open Source AI Models - How can Portuguese companies use them?
How can Portuguese companies use open-source AI to cut costs, protect their data and build systems that truly understand their business?
In this event, three Portuguese AI builders will share what they have learned from developing and deploying real-world AI products. Across three practical 30-minute talks, we’ll explore the full stack of business AI: organising company knowledge, running powerful models locally and building an AI ecosystem designed for Portugal.

How We Went from Amália to Caravela: The ChatGPT for Portuguese Companies
By Tiago Ferreira — 30 minutes
The story of how we pushed Portugal’s open-source Amália model to its limits and evolved it into Caravela: an ecosystem of open-source models running in Europe and connected to Portuguese laws, public data, government APIs and websites.
