Woodivity X Digitalk-tech Nyílt nap🪵✨ A Woodivity ismét kitárja a műhely ajtaját a Digitalk-tech közösség előtt! A recept a megszokott: fűrészpor illata, jó társaság és rengeteg kreatív ötlet egy kötetlen este keretében. Ami vár rátok ezen a délutánon: - Halloweeni tematikával készülünk: egy szellemes mécsestartót készíthettek el és vihettek haza magatokkal! 👻🕯 (kép az esemény alatti kommentekben) - Műhelybejárás: Végigvezetünk a Woodivity tágas, profi gépekkel felszerelt műhelyén. - Gyakorlati bemutató: Élőben mutatunk meg néhány izgalmasabb munkafázist, hogy lásd, miként formálódik a nyers faanyag. - Közös alkotás: Nem távozol üres kézzel, mindenkinek készül egy egyedi fa kiegészítő. - Őszi hangulat: A gépek leállítása után forralt borral és kötetlen beszélgetéssel zárjuk a napot. Ha kíváncsi vagy a műhely életére, érdekel a famegmunkálás, vagy egyszerűen csak eltöltenél egy inspiráló estét a közösséggel, szeretettel várunk! 🗓 2026\. október 29\. \(csütörtök\)\, 17:00–19:00 📍 Woodivity Műhely (1116 Budapest, Fehérvári út 132–144.) 📩 Részletek és regisztráció: https://digitalk.tech/events/woodivity-nyilt-nap-2026-10
Budapest | Claude Meetup for Everyone
Join us for the next Claude Community Budapest Meetup, an evening about what happens beneath the prompt. You might already build with Claude Code every day, run agentic workflows, or just wonder how these models actually think. Either way, this edition takes a step back from tools and tutorials and looks at the questions shaping where AI goes next: How do frontier models reason and revise their own hypotheses? Can AI learn to teach people, and to coordinate with other agents? And is scaling really the only way forward, or do we need to rethink the building blocks themselves? Two researchers working at the edge of these questions, from Google DeepMind and Pázmány Péter Catholic University, will share their work. Then we keep the conversation going over drinks. Who Should Attend? The talks go deep, but the room is open to everyone who’s curious: Engineers & ML Practitioners: Get a look under the hood at how reasoning models think, and why robustness matters as much as raw capability. Founders & Product Builders: Understand the reliability, cost, and agent-coordination challenges behind the products you’re building on. Researchers & Students: Connect with people working on AI cognition, efficient compute, and alternative neural architectures. The AI-Curious: Skip the hype and hear directly from people doing the research. Bring your questions; the break and the networking are made for them. Agenda 05:30 PM: Doors open. Registration, Networking & Drinks 06:00 PM: Welcome Remarks 18:10 - Botos Csabi - Senior Research Scientist at Google DeepMind Bio: The thread tying my work together is teaching, which I think is the overlooked problem in theory of mind: you cannot teach a mind without first modelling how it thinks. So I study how frontier reasoning models form, test, and revise hypotheses, and how their internal representations line up with human cognition, using controlled behavioural and neural experiments. I then ask how that understanding lets machines teach humans,
