Event Recap

The inaugural AI Day was deemed a tremendous success by attendees and organizers alike. Three presenters delivered four engaging talks covering agentic RAG, Open WebUI, OpenRouter, and self-hosted agentic coding, sparking lively discussions about the intersection of AI and open source technologies.

Due to the strong turnout and enthusiastic community response, we've decided to make AI Day a recurring quarterly event, allowing us to continue exploring the rapidly evolving landscape of open source AI tools and practices.
