AAIF x Uber: Open Source at Uber and Polars

An evening at Uber's Amsterdam office on two open-source projects, run by AAIF Community Amsterdam with Uber and Polars. Uber has released the core of Michelangelo AI under Apache 2.0 - the platform its engineers have used since 2016 to build, train, deploy and monitor ML, from ETAs and pricing to fraud detection, and now its agent workloads. Chris Howard opens with a lightning talk on agentic open source; Melda Salhab and Qiushen Wang demo Michelangelo; Chiel Peters, CTO of Polars, covers the Rust query engine, lazy evaluation and growing a company around an open project. Doors 17:30, talks from 18:00, food and drinks from 19:15. Free. Why go: architecture, trade-offs and real production numbers rather than a product pitch. Best for ML, data and platform engineers who run this infrastructure themselves.
