Jev. Open-weight models. Tech sovereignty. 🔥 Three topics every AI builder in Europe should have an opinion on. Here's why:
Open-weight models mean renting your AI is no longer the only option. Tech sovereignty is getting real: "buy European" is making its way into EU procurement rules. And Jev is a reminder to choose wisely: the right tool for the right task, not frontier models for everything.
Make up your own mind on October 29 at edition #3 of the AI-Native Meetup, in the heart of Brussels at BeCentral.
The best way to keep up with AI isn't more scrolling. It's an evening with the people doing the work.
Meet the three speakers of this edition:
🚀 Niels Claeys - Lead Data Engineer & Partner at Dataminded 🔥 Mehdi Ouazza - Data/AI Engineer & DevRel at MotherDuck 💪 Charlotte Verhamme - EU digital policy expert (AI, cybersecurity & telecom)
If you're building with AI in Belgium and want plenty of time to meet like-minded people, don't miss this.
Huge thanks to BeCentral for supporting the AI-Native Meetup.
