Founder Fridays

Welcome to the tenth instalment of the Copenhagen Advanced Machine Learning Study Group (CAMeLS-Group). We meet every second Monday to read and discuss a machine learning paper together at the "Snaren" reading area on the fourth floor of the Copenhagen Municipality Central Library. In a time of endless online chatter and AI-induced attention decay, we’re trying something entirely old: reading and discussing together in person. The idea is simple: bring your laptop or a printed copy of the paper - BUT DO NOT READ IT IN ADVANCE! During the session, we read each section individually at the same time, then pause to discuss it together before moving on. Once we’ve finished the paper, we come together for a broader discussion of the paper as a whole. Recommended prerequisites: some background in ML or related fields, at a level where you can read a paper in your favourite area. Don’t feel scared off if you have not yet graduated, but we will be reading research papers. In this session, we will be reading the paper SkillsBench: Benchmarking How Well Agent Skills Work Across Diverse Tasks. The paper can be found here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.12670 If you want to participate in the organisation of future events, please join the Danish Data Science Community Slack workspace and go to the CAMeLS-Group channel: https://join.slack.com/t/danskdatascie-o8m9638/shared_invite/zt-4975uw282-6M1vlRA50ck4uAg75CrluA

Join a Claude Community Event, organized by local enthusiasts for everyone who loves building with Claude! A lunch for fintech founders and leaders putting Claude to work. Join us on Thursday 29 October at Copenhagen Fintech in Christianshavn. Doors open at 11.00 and we start at 11.30. You will see how other fintechs use Claude to build, sell and operate. There is a live demo, a view from the Lovable frontline, and time to compare notes with peers over lunch. We are capping the room at 40 to keep the conversations real. Program Welcome Nicolette Tham, Head of Community at Copenhagen Fintech. How to ride the curve Jacob Langvad Nilsson, Co-Founder of Applied Futures and Anthropic’s Claude Community Ambassador in Denmark. Jacob shares what separates the companies pulling ahead with Claude, and what it means for fintech founders building today. From chat to agentic trading via MCP Mikaiel Amistoso, Founder and CEO of First Forecast. Mikaiel shows, live, how Claude reads and acts on First Forecast’s data. What founders are really building Michael Haase, Head of GTM Denmark at Lovable. Michael covers the patterns he sees across Lovable and Claude builds. Q&A follows, with questions polled from the room. Lunch and conversations Time to meet fintech founders and leaders who are solving the same problems. Who it is for Fintech founders, or one senior technical or commercial lead such as a CTO, Head of Product or Head of Growth. We keep it to one seat per company because the venue holds 40 people. Questions Reach out to Nicolette at nth@copenhagenfintech.dk.

Join us for an AI skillsharing event for designers and creatives. We’ve invited designers from the industry to share real examples of how they use AI in their everyday work. They’ll walk us through practical skills you can apply to your own workflow. You don’t have to change everything overnight. You can take it step by step, with real examples, practical tips, and no fluff. Our goal is to create a space for inspiration and discover small, practical ways AI can support your daily work as a designer. We’ll keep the atmosphere relaxed, as always. Just come as you are, get inspired, learn something new, and meet other designers who are asking the same questions as you are! 📍 DEPT, Langebrogade 6E, 1st Floor 📅 Thursday, 29 October ⏰ 18:00–20:00 Agenda AI Skillsharing, Round 1* Break AI Skillsharing, Round 2* Try new skills & ask questions 💻 You’re welcome to bring your laptop and try out the skills yourself. The speakers will stick around to answer your questions! *We’ve invited a diverse group of designers to share their AI skills, so there’s something useful for everyone. A few things to know This time, we’re charging a small fee of 45 DKK to help make sure everyone who books a spot makes it a priority to show up. The event will be held in English. - See photos from our previous events on Instagram.

Join a Claude Community Event, organized by local enthusiasts for everyone who loves building with Claude Code! An evening of practitioner talks from developers and engineering leads using Claude Code in real work. Each speaker shares something they built or learned. A workflow, a pattern, a use case. What worked, what broke, what they would do differently. No sales pitches. No product demos. Show what you learned, not what you sell. What to expect Five practitioner talks, 20 minutes each including Q&A Food, drinks and time to meet other people building with Claude Code Who it is for Developers, engineering leads and technical founders using Claude Code, or about to.

Join a Claude Community Event, organized by local enthusiasts for everyone who loves building with Claude! In September 2026 two AI labs made claims that would have sounded unlikely a year ago. Anthropic reported that Claude agents searched a DNA database for 21 hours and flagged a CRISPR-like enzyme system in bacteriophages. Another well-known, frontier AI lab said one of its models had resolved the blow-up question for the Navier–Stokes equations, one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems. The research community is still examining both claims. Both cases show where scientific work is heading. This evening looks at what that means in practice. Four STEM researchers from academia and industry each present one case. What research question they are trying to answer. How they used Claude. What they found. What worked, and what did not. No product demos. No sales pitches. Researchers showing their work. The venue We meet in the historical Auditorium A at the Niels Bohr Institute. The institute opened in 1921. In the 1920s this building was where young physicists worked out quantum mechanics. Bohr gave his lectures in this room. In the 1930s Heisenberg and Pauli sat in the front row. The benches seat about 50, so the evening is small on purpose. Programme (preliminary) 15:30 Doors open 16:00 Welcome 16:10 The story of Auditorium A, told by the Niels Bohr Institute 16:25 Case study 1 16:45 Case study 2 17:10 Break with snacks and drinks 17:40 Case study 3 18:00 Case study 4 18:20 Closing remarks 18:30 Networking 19:00 Close Speakers are added here as they confirm. Who should come Researchers, PhD students and R&D professionals in physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, data science, and related fields who use AI in their research or want to start. Seats are limited and registration needs approval. We aim for an even mix of academia and industry. Practical The building houses sensitive research facilities, so guests stay in the auditorium and the rooms next to it all ev
