'Gradient Descending' is a series of roundtables on AI: curated deep dives with technical builders. Past roundtables discussions covered RL Environments, Evals, Fine-Tuning, Agent Frameworks, Open Source Models, and Knowledge Graphs with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, Scale AI and many more. For our second Gradient Descending session in Barcelona, we’re looking at voice AI from two very different sides: building the infrastructure behind it and getting it into the hands of non-technical customers. We’ll be joined by Jaime Farrés, co-founder of Flyboard, and Luke Miller, co-founder of SLNG, to compare what each side is seeing in practice. How do you build the underlying systems to be fast, reliable and affordable? And once the technology works, how do you deploy it for customers who don’t have technical teams, don’t speak in APIs and simply need the product to solve a real problem? We’ll talk about where the infrastructure layer and application layer meet, what each side needs from the other and what tends to get lost between a technically impressive product and something a customer can actually adopt and use every day. Agenda: Arrivals: 18:30–19:00 Roundtable discussion: 19:00–20:00 Drinks at the rooftop: 20:00–21:30 See past roundtables here: https://www.akashbajwa.co/t/ai-roundtables I agree that photographs and/or video may be taken during the event and used by the hosts on social media and in future promotional materials.

El Foro de Inversión Healthcare Barcelona reunirá el 29 de octubre a startups, proyectos biomédicos e inversores para impulsar la financiación y la transferencia de innovación en salud.

Whether you're deep in a PhD, halfway through a postdoc, or already in industry, you've probably noticed that biology and AI are starting to get a little… entangled. So… what is TechBio? is one of the first AI x Bio gatherings in Barcelona, for scientists (MSc, PhD, postdocs, academia or industry) who are curious what this world actually looks like from the inside. A couple of people who made the jump will share how they moved into TechBio: what surprised them, what transferred, and what they wish they'd known earlier. Then we open it up, and keep talking over drinks. No coding required. Curiosity is enough. Thursday, 29 October Doors: 18:00 Panel: 18:30 Wrap-up: 20:00 Generously hosted by Cosymbio Labs. Vibe: Relaxed, honest, zero buzzwords (we'll try). Flow: Welcome and intro to the panellists Moderated conversation: from bench to TechBio Your questions Networking with snacks and drinks Panel Lorena Roldán Martín, PhD is a Senior Scientist in Discovery AI at AstraZeneca, applying AI and computational modelling to protein engineering, enzyme design, and drug discovery. Her work bridges computational biology research and therapeutic innovation. Matteo Tardelli, PhD is a Scientific Project Lead at Turbine, working at the intersection of AI, computational biology, and drug discovery. With experience across academia and biotech, he is also the author of Beyond Academia, helping PhDs navigate careers beyond research.
