Self-Hosted AI in Production: An Afternoon with PineGrove AI

SEP24
16:00 · Europe / Copenhagen

About this event

In recent years, open-source LLMs have gotten better and better, to the point where they can solve very real problems - all inside software and hardware you can be in control of.
But while the open-source LLM world is leaping forward at break-neck pace, keeping up with it is a full-time job of its' own - and that's before we even start to consider all the surrounding elements which actually integrate those models with your business.
At PineGrove, we've been following the chaos, moving from a small model on a Mac at home to a production-ready system running real-world models on beefy GPUs serving multiple customers. And now we're ready to share our hard-earned wisdom.
Join us for an afternoon where we'll share our stories from the trenches, and the landmines to avoid along the way.
As part of this story, we will take you through a zero to hero live-building of a product powered by open-source AI. It may be a product no one asked for - but hey, at least it's yours.
Through the afternoon, we'll ask and answer questions such as:
How do I download and run an open-source model?
How do I know which model to pick (and what hardware does it take?)
What is the actual meaning and use-case of:A harness?
An agent?
Tools?
Skills?
Data context/ingestion/RAG?
Orchestration?
...
And finally... What useful things can I actually do with all that?
Come join us in building something useless and learn something useful!

/pay™ Nordic Fintech Edition: How to make money inside AI.

Copenhagen FinTech Lab, Copenhagen, Denmark · Copenhagen Fintech
In person

AI is now where people buy, and increasingly where software buys on their behalf. Most businesses still have no way to get paid there, and no way to let their agents pay. That was the conversation at Stockholm Fintech Week in March, and at the first two /pay™ nights in April and May. Developers, founders, product people, all asking the same thing: how do I put my business inside any AI ecosystem, and how does money move once I'm there? We're bringing /pay™ to Copenhagen for Nordic Fintech Week on Day 0. Join us for one afternoon in three parts. ◌ A short talk on how payments work when the buyer is a person, an assistant, or an agent. We will cover how to pay and get paid across any AI ecosystem: Apps: get your product paid inside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and more Assistants: sell inside the conversation Agents: give your agent a mandate and a wallet ◌ A hands-on workshop where you turn your API or your MCP server into a tool inside Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, and get paid every time it's used. ◌ Then the lounge is ours until early evening: food, drinks, and a room full of people building the same thing from different angles. No experience with agentic payments required. If you have an API, a product with a chat in it, or an agent that needs to spend, this afternoon shows you how money moves inside AI. Want to leave with something monetisable? Bring your laptop. Hosted by SolvaPay, the payment platform for AI. Agenda 13:00 Doors open, coffee 13:30 Talk: pay and get paid by people and agents 13:45 Q&A 14:00 Workshop: get paid inside AI apps (laptop needed, live in under an hour) 15:15 Mingle: food, drinks, demos at the bar 18:00 Close
