Hear about the results of the MariaDB AI RAG Hackathon at our next meetup on Tuesday 27th May!

Impressive Submissions at the MariaDB AI RAG Hackathon
On Monday we had our final submission day for the MariaDB AI RAG Hackathon. We got several high quality replies in both tracks: integration and innovation. The quality was so high that we are keen to replicate this hackathon in other locations and are currently looking for cooperation partners. We are truly grateful to the Helsinki Python meetup group without which this would not have been possible. They have a great community, organise excellent events, and played a key role in making the hackathon happen. We are now reviewing the submissions together with the Helsinki Python meetup group. Stay tuned for the meetup on May 27th, when the winners will be announced!

Minulta kysytään, mitkä suomalaiset organisaatiot ovat Mastodonissa/fediversumissa. Auttakaapa!

Tarkoitan tässä aktiivisia tilejä, joiden takana on merkittävästi enemmän kuin yksi henkilö. Yritykset, järjestöt, oppilaitokset, julkishallinto, media, tutkimusprojektit...
