Decentralized AI Day (Vienna)
About DeAI Days ℹ️
Looking for a hands-on, zero-hype event to do your own due diligence on the future of decentralized artificial intelligence (DeAI)? Look no further — this is the event for you!
Discover cutting-edge projects such as Numerai, Prior Labs, FLock.io, Allora Labs, and OpenClaw. Take part in interactive workshops designed to give you hands-on experience with the technologies shaping the next era of AI and web3.
Meet the Kaggle Grandmaster 👋
Philipp Singer from Prior Labs will join us to give a talk and lead a workshop on TabPFN. Philipp is highly regarded within the Kaggle and broader machine learning community. As a Kaggle Grandmaster (and former #1 in competitions), his expertise and insight are truly world-class. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Philipp in the past, and it’s fantastic to collaborate with him again.

About the Workshops 👩💻👨💻
[ Session 1 Track 1 ] - 14:00 to 16:00 - Prior Labs Workshop - Solving a Kaggle Challenge with TabPFN
Join Philipp for a hands-on deep dive into TabPFN, a powerful tool for tabular data. You'll actively solve a real Kaggle challenge, building practical skills step-by-step.
Prerequisites: Sign up for a free Kaggle account and have it ready beforehand.
[ Session 1 Track 2 ] - 14:00 to 16:00 - Numerai Workshop - From Zero to Quant: Build Your First Hedge Fund Model in a few Clicks
Don’t let the data scientists have all the fun (and NMR). Join us to discover how Numeroo.bot levels the playing field, allowing anyone to build and deploy high-performing prediction models for the Numerai tournament — no coding or PhD required.
Prerequisites: None. Just bring your laptop.
[ Session 2 Track 1 ]- 16:30 to 18:30 - Prior Labs Workshop - Solving a Kaggle Challenge with TabPFN (Extended Session)
This is an extended session of the first TabPFN workshop. Philipp Singer will start with a quick recap so newcomers can catch up on TabPFN basics, then dive deeper into the Kaggle challenge. Returning participants get extra hands-on time to solve it or even try TabPFN on their own data. This session is also a great opportunity to discuss any data science topics directly with Philipp.
Prerequisites: Sign up for a free Kaggle account and have it ready beforehand.
[ Session 2 Track 2 ] - 16:30 to 18:30 - Allora Workshop - Build, Compete, and Connect on Forge
Timothy De Lise will be leading this 2‑hour hands‑on onboarding and community-building session. We’ll start with setup — creating accounts, configuring wallets with testnet tokens, forming teams, and sharing early feedback on integrating with the product.
Next, we’ll guide you through building and deploying your first prediction model using our starter templates for an upcoming competition on our Forge platform. By the end, everyone should have at least one working submission ready to refine throughout the contest.
We’ll also cover competition rules, prizes, support channels, and ongoing earning opportunities once models go live on mainnet.
This session is all about helping you get comfortable with the platform, connect with the community, and hit the ground running for the competition.
