with Harpreet Sahota (Developer Relations, Voxel51) · Atif Anwer (Researcher, University Bourgogne Europe (Ex)) · Guillaume Astruc (Researcher, Imagine - ENPC) + 1 more

A technical, in-person meetup hosted by Voxel51 at InstaDeep, bringing together engineers, researchers and AI practitioners for expert talks across AI, machine learning and computer vision. The line-up: Harpreet Sahota (Voxel51) on building real-world computer vision systems; Atif Anwer on detecting and segmenting nanoparticles in microscopy images; Guillaume Astruc (Imagine - ENPC) on resolution- and modality-agnostic transformers for Earth observation; and Lucas Degeorge (Ecole Polytechnique / Ecole des Ponts - AMIAD) on efficient, controllable image generation. Expect demos, practical insights and discussion of the evolving AI tooling ecosystem.

with Michel Bauwens (Founder, P2P Foundation) · Martin Calnan (Head, UNESCO Chair on Future of Finance, Les Ponts Business School)

In an age of accelerating technological change and growing institutional strain, how do we redesign the way we coordinate, govern and build? This is the second event bringing together RadicalxChange, Plurality and Planetizen, this time with the UNESCO Chair for Future of Finance at Les Ponts Business School. The three movements approach the world's largest problems from different angles but share a method: treating ideas, institutions and technologies as prototypes to be tested, iterated and improved through collective intelligence. Event one covered sustainability under geopolitical fragmentation, how to govern AI's societal impact, and network societies. This afterwork lab puts all three movements on one question: every revolution is a value revolution — which value shift would produce a positive outcome across all three? Michel Bauwens, founder of the P2P Foundation, and Martin Calnan of the UNESCO Chair kick it off. For innovators, builders and thinkers. Approval required.

AI Tinkerers Paris and ParisRB.new join forces for an evening on the intersection of Ruby, Rails and generative AI, hosted at Algolia's Paris office. The bar is explicitly show, don't tell: no pitch decks, no slideware — raw working code, terminal sessions and live deployments from developers orchestrating models, managing vector search and structuring prompts natively in Ruby. Five-minute technical show-and-tells are open for proposals, and early-stage prototypes and fragile builds are actively welcomed. A decentralised Science Fair runs during the networking blocks, inspired by the Homebrew Computer Club: set up a laptop, walk peers through your codebase, run local models, get direct feedback. Capacity is capped at 100 and registrations are manually screened with priority to active builders — complete your profile with GitHub or portfolio links. Enter via 3-5 rue de Bucarest, not the rue d'Amsterdam address on maps.
