In March 2025, I spoke at GDG Melbourne’s Build with AI event about “The Wonderful World of Open Weights AI”. It was a wonderful crowd, with engaged participants and plenty of interest in exploring the topic.
I shared code examples and slides alongside the talk. My hope was that people would leave with something they could open up and try for themselves.
Thanks to the people who made it happen
Thank you to the GDG Melbourne organisers, including Yuba Raj Panta, for the opportunity, and to everyone who came along. Phil Nash and Yash Shrestha also gave fantastic talks that evening.
The code examples and slides were shared in the comments on my original LinkedIn post.
See how we work with teams on AI
