MLOps Meetup Helsinki #8

​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.
