Nebius Open Source AI Salon

An evening salon run by Nebius for Startups during NVIDIA GTC week, built around open-source AI — the models, the tooling and the people training and serving them on their own infrastructure. Nebius builds AI cloud for compute-heavy workloads, and its startup programme is the host rather than a sponsor bolted on. Five hours from 17:00, salon format: conversation and introductions rather than a talk track. No speaker line-up or agenda has been published. Free to attend, registration is approved, and the exact address is shared on sign-up. Why go: the open-model crowd in Berlin is small and mostly knows each other through GitHub rather than in person, and GTC week is when the ones who travel are all in town. Best for founders and engineers training or serving open models, and for anyone weighing a move off closed APIs.
