We Are Back
We are living through one of the biggest shifts in modern history. An AI-powered, planet-wide transformation is unfolding right before our eyes. While some of us are accelerating the energy transition, others are making daily travel easier through shared and public mobility, and still others are helping people live healthier lives. We may work in different sectors, but we share one common goal: building a future the next generation will want to inherit.
Arch9 is a space to celebrate that purpose together and meet the people walking the same road. No sales decks, no inflated promises, just candid stories from peers who know the joys and headaches of turning code into real-world impact. Together we’ll swap lessons, challenge assumptions, and leave with fresh ideas we can act on the next day and the days after.
If you believe tech should serve future generations as much as this quarter’s results, Arch9 is your conference. Come add your voice and celebrate tech that truly matters.

Right-Sizing AI: The Case for Small Language Models13:05 - 13:50
As Large Language Models (LLMs) continue to dominate the AI landscape, their limitations—such as high resource consumption, significant environmental impact, and challenges in task-specific fine-tuning—are becoming increasingly evident. In contrast, Small Language Models (SLMs) offer a more lightweight, efficient, and adaptable alternative. This talk will delve into the rise of SLMs, their capacity to address key issues associated with LLMs, and recent innovations like model merging and fine-tuning. Through real-world examples, we will explore how SLMs are influencing the future of AI and why they might be the ideal choice for your next project.

AI for ALL: Hosting your own (free) LLM14:45 - 15:15
Today Al is even more present than ever, it looks like every product has some form of Al inside. But with the costs and privacy concerns of using online hosted solutions still being a factor, I tried to go the engineers route and build my own solution for fun and profit, and in doing so l discovered the privacy, customization and cost-effective benefits that I got.
Did you know that open source LLM solutions such as meta’s llama3.1 model can match the performance of OpenAl’s ChatGPT in certain scenarios?
Join me in my talk about Using Al in real-life: a showcase of what it takes to be using the power of open source to run your own local GPT powered chat as well as a demo of how to do Al assisted coding for free (almost).
I will demo and discuss about the current state of the Open Source community and products like ollama, stable diffusion or continue.dev that allow you to have LLMs producing content on your own laptop or hardware, talk about the limitations (if there are any) and the path forward.”
