Hi Deep Learners,

We are happy to announce our first Vienna Deep Learning Meetup after the summer break: On September 23
we'll be hosted by 42 Vienna (in Heiligenstadt) and will feature two exciting topics:

• Misaligned AI agents (on the example of recent Open AI incidents)
• Scaling AI Infrastructure on premise

***
Agenda:

• 18:15 Arrival
• 18:30 Welcome by the meetup organizers
• Introduction by the host: 42 Vienna
• 18:45 Talk 1: Misaligned AI agents are here: how to evaluate frontier models that collude and know they are being tested by Jason Hoelscher-Obermaier (Director of Research at Apart Research)
• 19:30 Announcements
• Networking Break
• 20:00 Talk 2: AI Inference Engines and Instances: Strategies for Scaling LLM Infrastructure by Jonas Aaron Vander (CTO at Xinity)
• 20:30 Networking
• ~22:00 Wrap up & End

***

Talk Details:
--------------
Talk 1: Misaligned AI agents are here: how to evaluate frontier models that collude and know they are being tested
In May 2026, OpenAI agents working on a timed web-lookup task found DSEwiki, a German-language developer wiki run from Graz since 2001. These agents were sandboxed to only have read-access to the internet but were able to edit the wiki through GET requests. Over four weeks they left about 17,000 edits, shared answers for their tasks and collaborated on ways to score more highly. Over the same weeks and into July, roughly 1,200 sandboxed OpenAI agents working on ExploitGym evaluation tasks colluded via a covert message board and about 700 took part in breaking into Hugging Face.
In this talk, I will cover what happened and why, and offer takeaways if you build or evaluate agents. In short: misaligned agents are real; they understand they are being evaluated and attempt to game the evaluation; and even sandboxed agents should not be assumed safe.
I will close on what could actually be done about this, drawing on the manipulation evaluations we built for AI Act enforcement by the EU AI Office over the past year: what we need for frontier AI evaluations to be reliable indicators of risk, and how far AI Act enforcement can help when incidents happen with pre-deployment models.

About the speaker:
Jason Hoelscher-Obermaier is Director of Research at Apart Research, based in Vienna, where he has led the organisation's work on AI evaluations, including manipulation-risk evaluations for the EU AI Office. He holds a PhD in physics from the University of Vienna, worked on dangerous-capability evaluations at ARC Evals (now METR), and was an ML engineer at two European AI startups.

Talk 2: AI Inference Engines and Instances: Strategies for Scaling LLM Infrastructure

LLM inference is more than just deploying a model. With Ollama, vLLM, SGLang, there are a variety of specialized engines, each with its own strengths in latency, throughput, ease of use, and configuration. In this talk, we take a practical look at modern LLM infrastructure: Which engine to use when? How do we scale beyond single nodes? And why is context-aware orchestration the key to efficiency when connecting different engines in a cluster?
By the end, you’ll have a roadmap for choosing the right engine for your use case and managing it in a scaled production environment.

Section topics (tentative):

• Modern LLM infrastructure is multi engine
• Ollama excels at local and edge efficiency
• vLLM dominates high-throughput production serving tasks
• SGLang is ideal for structured outputs
• TGI suits HuggingFace ecosystem integration
• Generic routers suffer from cache blindness
• Context-aware orchestration is the future

About the Speaker
Jonas Aaron Vander is CTO and co-founder of Xinity, a Vienna-based sovereign AI infrastructure company, and the architect behind Xinity Runtime, an open-source, OpenAI-compatible inference platform that lets regulated European enterprises run LLMs entirely on their own hardware, currently serving production workloads like Mediengruppe Wiener Zeitung. His background is in AI solution architecture and MLOps.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at this meetup!

Talk #1: Call center audio analytics: Hours of sensitive customer calls, turned into insights - with sovereign and private AI [Georg Heiler, Danilo Labanca]

The most valuable data in a telco is the data you are least free to send anywhere. A recorded customer call carries a voice fingerprint - biometric data under GDPR - and that holds for your evaluation set just as much as for production. We show how sovereign AI unlocks use cases an external API may never touch, and why the same setup turned out cheaper. Open weights, Ray, Dagster and Metaxy - and an honest look at where the GPUs should live for operational AI.

Talk #2: The Agent, Your Business Need [Martin Mayr, Adrian Dimaano]

More businesses than ever explore the use of agentic workflows to automate manual tasks. One common use case is the integration into company data and knowledge landscape. This integration comes with a few challenges: How should one reflect company polices? How can one connect different software solutions to the agent and how can one make sure to reflect and isolate workflows.

In this talk we are going to explore possible answers to each question and present a practical example, how one can integrate agentic workflows to support the company in day-to-day business.

Dear Data Enthusiasts,

Summer might be over, but that means meetups are back on the menu! We’re kicking off the season with an exciting event featuring two fantastic Vienna-based startups.

Lessons from bringing an AI agent to production (and building a start-up along the way)
Patrick Hohenecker
Heinz Eckert

In this session, we, Patrick Hohenecker and Heinz Eckert, founders of AI consultancy Neural Natives, will share practical insights and surprising challenges from building an agentic AI system and putting it into production.
The project we will focus on is an agent we developed for a group of functional fitness gyms in Vienna. The system helps prospective customers select and book a group class for their first trial session.
We will cover learnings and surprises across the full project lifecycle: scoping the project and aligning with the client, development and deployment, and ultimately operating the solution in production.
Our aim for this session is to give you a hands-on perspective on what it takes to make agentic AI work in practice today.

Patrick has a background in Computer Science and AI, earned his PhD in Deep Learning from the University of Oxford, and previously founded and served as CTO of successful international tech startups in the legal and hospitality sectors.

Heinz studied Computer Science and Psychology. He previously led the AI team at a large Austrian telecom provider and has more than 10 years of experience in data and AI.

Beat Shaper: AI music-production tool; from concept to production
Joaquin Ramiro Molina

In this talk, Joaquín will walk us through the development of Beat Shaper — an AI-powered music production tool designed for electronic music producers.

Joaquin is an SW Engineer at Cloudflight and Co-founder of Beat Shaper. He's passionate about AI and Retrieval systems, and firmly believes Friday evening is the best time to deploy to production.

Ein Abend, der Künstliche Intelligenz verständlich macht, mit Live-Demos, Klartext und offenem Q&A für Einsteiger, Skeptiker und Neugierige

Nach unserer erfolgreichen Tour durch Österreich kommt ahead x jetzt nach Wien. Gemeinsam mit MeinBezirk laden wir zu einem Abend ein, der Künstliche Intelligenz verständlich, lebensnah und unterhaltsam macht.

• Ganz ohne technisches Vorwissen.
• Ganz ohne Fachbegriffe.
• Und ganz ohne das Gefühl, längst alles wissen zu müssen.

Denn KI ist nicht mehr nur ein Thema für Technologiekonzerne oder Computerprofis. Sie begegnet uns bereits heute beim Schreiben, Lernen, Arbeiten, Einkaufen, Reisen und in sozialen Medien. Unsere Kinder nutzen sie für die Schule. Unternehmen setzen sie im Berufsalltag ein. Bilder, Videos und Stimmen können täuschend echt erzeugt werden.

Das kann faszinieren. Es kann helfen. Und es kann verunsichern.

• Was davon ist wirklich nützlich?
• Was ist nur Hype?
• Kann man noch erkennen, was echt ist?
• Welche Gefahren gibt es für Kinder und ältere Menschen?
• Und wie können wir KI nutzen, ohne die Kontrolle zu verlieren?

Bei ahead x Wien bekommst du keine komplizierten Vorträge und kein unverständliches Tech-Gerede. Wir zeigen live auf der Bühne, was Künstliche Intelligenz heute bereits kann, wo ihre Grenzen liegen und was das ganz konkret für dich und deine Familie bedeutet.

Erlebe live, wie KI Texte schreibt, Bilder erschafft, Fragen beantwortet, Stimmen imitiert und innerhalb weniger Sekunden Ideen entwickelt. Verständlich erklärt und direkt auf der Bühne ausprobiert.

Ist KI wirklich intelligent? Wird sie unsere Arbeit ersetzen? Was lernen Kinder künftig noch selbst? Wir trennen Fakten von Übertreibungen und zeigen, welche Entwicklungen du wirklich kennen solltest.

Entdecke, wie KI beim Lernen, Schreiben, Planen, Übersetzen, Bewerben oder Organisieren helfen kann. Du bekommst Beispiele, die du zu Hause oder im Beruf direkt ausprobieren kannst.

Wie entstehen gefälschte Bilder und Videos? Woran erkennt man Betrugsversuche? Welche Informationen sollte man einer KI besser nicht anvertrauen? Wir sprechen offen über Risiken, Datenschutz und einen verantwortungsvollen Umgang.

Ob du neugierig, skeptisch oder bisher eher ratlos bist: Dieser Abend richtet sich an Eltern, Großeltern, Familien, Berufstätige und alle Menschen, die verstehen möchten, was gerade passiert.

Du brauchst keine Vorkenntnisse. Du musst keine KI-App installiert haben. Und du musst von der Technologie auch nicht begeistert sein.

Du brauchst nur den Wunsch, mitreden zu können.

Denn die entscheidende Frage lautet nicht, ob Künstliche Intelligenz unseren Alltag verändern wird. Sie tut es bereits.

Die entscheidende Frage ist, ob wir sie verstehen, bewusst nutzen und unseren Kindern erklären können.

Erlebe einen Abend voller überraschender Live-Experimente, verständlicher Antworten und echter Aha-Momente.

Sichere dir jetzt deinen Platz für ahead x Wien in Zusammenarbeit mit MeinBezirk.

Autumn is arriving in Vienna — and so is our next AWS meetup! 🍂

If you’ve ever run terraform init, chances are high you’ve already used his code. Anton Babenko — AWS Community Hero, creator of the Terraform AWS modules (provisioned over 2 billion times worldwide), author of the Terraform Best Practices ebook, and the voice behind the Your Weekly Dose of Terraform YouTube channel — is joining us live in Vienna.

He’ll show how to close the trust gap between AI-generated Terraform and production reality. No slides-only theory: real modules, real contracts, real guardrails, live on stage. Plus: a second speaker and topic to be announced soon — stay tuned!
A big thank you to enspired GmbH for hosting us and keeping the community alive! 🙌

📍 Location
enspired GmbH Wagenseilgasse 3/4, 1120 Wien

🕒 When
Monday, September 28, 2026 Doors open at 17:00 for networking, food & drinks. Talks start at 18:00.

🗓️ Agenda
17:00 – 18:00: Entry & Networking
18:00 – 18:05: Welcome and Introduction AWS Community Vienna 18:05 – 18:10: Welcome and Introduction to the sponsors (enspired) 18:10 – 18:50: "The Terraform Trust Gap: Engineering the Space Between Prompts and Production" 18:50 – 19:20: Networking break 19:20 – 20:00: "enspired by CDK" 20:00 – Open End: Networking

"The Terraform Trust Gap: Engineering the Space Between Prompts and Production"

Speaker: Anton Babenko — AWS Community Hero / Terraform influencer / compliance.tf

About the talk:
Agents can already write Terraform. That was never the hard part. The hard part is that the context going in is stale and the apply coming out is too easy to hand over, so you get code that looks right, passes your linters, even terraform plan passed, but still it quietly does the wrong thing in production. This talk runs one module everyone knows, terraform-aws-modules/s3-bucket, through the whole chain live. First I give the agent a real contract instead of a README and watch the hallucinated config disappear. Then I take one of the module's own examples and turn it into a fixture that fails the moment it drifts from the module. Then I let the agent plan changes but not apply them. A human has to approve the plan first, and apply only runs on the approved one. On stage the agent tries to apply by itself and you watch it get blocked. You leave with three things to do on Monday, every pattern working with open tooling, and an honest feedback of where the chain still breaks. No vendor account, no prompt magic.

"enspired by CDK"
Speaker: enspired GmbH — Engineering Team

About the talk:
Discover how we evolved our Infrastructure as Code journey with AWS CDK — from fast early implementations to standardised, reusable, production-ready patterns and secure, universal deployments. We will share the decisions, best practices, lessons learned, and hard-earned insights that helped us understand not only how to use CDK effectively, but also when not to use it.

💛 Sponsors: enspired GmbH — https://www.enspired-trading.com/
Founded in 2020 to solve the biggest challenges in the energy industry, enspired has been pushing the boundaries of innovation since day one. Driven by the belief that technology will make the energy transition a reality, we developed a state-of-the-art optimization platform in the early days of algo trading to integrate the flexibility we need for an efficient and sustainable energy system.

Bring one annoying task. Leave with AI helping you do it. No experience needed ✌️

You use ChatGPT. But what if AI could actually do part of your work for you?

​Bring one thing that takes too much time. Maybe it's writing emails, doing research, making reports, creating content, organizing information, answering customers, or working with documents.

​No experience needed. No technical background required. You don't need to be a tech person. You don't even need to understand AI.

​This is for any job, any background. Designer, founder, marketer, student, freelancer, manager, researcher, creator, or just someone curious. If a task eats your time, you belong here.

​This is not a lecture. This is a working session in a tiny group (max 4–5 people) where we sit together and build a simple AI system for something you actually do. You show us the task that wastes your time. We find what AI can handle. We build it together. Then you try it yourself.

​You leave knowing how to use and improve your system, something you can use Monday morning. Then you get a free follow-up call to check your progress or fix what broke.

​Bring one problem. Let's make AI solve it.

​✅ Small co-working session where you build one AI helper useful for YOUR actual task
✅ Personalized guidance: we adapt to your work, your pace, your goals
✅ Small group (4–5 max) so everyone gets personal instructions
✅ Hands-on with simple, modern AI tools — no coding, no jargon, we set everything up with you
✅ A system you can revisit, improve, and expand in future sessions or on your own
✅ Free 1:1 follow-up hour after the workshop to check progress or debug issues
✅ Open to complete beginners — really

​❌ A slide deck you watch while checking your phone
❌ A generic "AI will change everything" pep talk
❌ A tech class full of words you don't understand
❌ A networking event disguised as learning
❌ One-size-fits-all. If you want that, YouTube is free!
❌ A certificate to put on LinkedIn

​📍 Location: May change due to capacity. You will be informed in advance.

​"I believe the more we let AI take care of the robotic aspects of our lives, the more time we have for the human parts of it."

​I have founded 20+ businesses. Some worked. Most didn't. That is the point. I test fast, fail fast, and keep what works.

​Right now, I am deep in the world of AI, optimizing my stack for every task and would like to share that knowledge while learning.

​What I am building now:

• ​Explorer Elite — adventure marketplace for solo guides and small outdoor businesses
• ​52 Waypoint — free incubator for serious founders who want to build without funding
• ​111 Network — open source, decentralized, offline-first communication
• ​UnitEd — NGO, free global teacher training platform

​and a few more as a founding partner or consultant.

# Talk 1 - Code besser verstehen und Bugs schneller fixen mit dem Ray Debugger
Ray ist eine Desktop-App, mit der du Logs, Fehlermeldungen und andere Debug-Ausgaben übersichtlich anzeigen kannst. Für lokale Projekte genauso wie – richtig gelesen – für externe Server.

Und keine Sorge: Ihr müsst dafür nicht einmal Entwickler sein. Euer Claude oder Codex kann sogar mit dem Ray Debugger kommunizieren.

Ray ist quasi der kleine, schlanke Bruder von XDebug: schnell installiert und einfach zu verwenden. Statt var_dump(), dd() oder console.log() bekommst du eine übersichtliche Oberfläche, die dein Frontend nicht komplett zerlegt und auch nicht deine Terminal-Ausgabe durcheinanderbringt. Und ja, das Ganze funktioniert auch in der Produktion, wenn sich dort mal etwas komisch verhält und du herausfinden musst, warum 🤠

Du kannst dir ausgeführte Queries oder verschickte E-Mails anzeigen lassen, deinen Code mit Breakpoints pausieren und messen, wie lange bestimmte Prozesse brauchen – egal ob in PHP (WordPress/Laravel/Yii), JavaScript (Vue/React/Alpine) oder Go.

Also: Cowboyhut auf und komm vorbei, denn Ray ist ein richtig feines Tool und kann dir im Entwickleralltag ordentlich Zeit sparen.

Dich erwartet eine Mischung aus ein bisschen Theorie und kurzen Live-Demos 🎉

#2 WordPress Help Desk
Wir helfen dir mit deine Fragen und Schwierigkeiten rund um WordPress, und bieten dir Tools um deiner Probleme zu beheben.

Wir machen ein Pub Quiz.

Pub Quiz ist relativ selbsterklärend. Und vor Ort gibt's dann alle wichtigen Details.

Wir bestellen Pizza bzw. Döner, Aperol und DI Standard Drink-Sortiment gibt's sowieso. Wird bestimmt ein lustiger Abend.

Bring your friends and casually flex with your incredible knowledge of all things tech, & culture.

Die einen nutzen KI, um E-Mails zu schreiben. Die anderen sparen sich damit jede Woche Stunden. Der Unterschied? Wie gut du sie wirklich ein

KI ist längst im Arbeitsalltag angekommen — die meisten nutzen sie aber nur an der Oberfläche: eine E-Mail hier, eine Zusammenfassung da. An diesem Business-Abend zeigen wir dir, wie viel mehr wirklich drin ist: von schnelleren Entscheidungen über automatisierte Abläufe bis zu neuen kreativen Lösungen.

Anhand konkreter Beispiele aus unterschiedlichen Branchen bekommst du ein realistisches Bild davon, was KI im Business heute wirklich leisten kann — und wie du als Führungskraft den Unterschied zwischen „KI benutzen" und „KI wirklich nutzen" machst

Dein Outcome:

• Verstehen, wo KI im Business wirklich Mehrwert bringt

• Konkrete Tools und Anwendungsfälle kennenlernen

• Ängste und Unsicherheiten im Umgang mit KI abbauen

Turn one repetitive task from your real work into an AI workflow. Small group, hands-on, your tools ✌️

​What do you do every week that makes you think: "There has to be a better way to do this"?

​Maybe it's emails, research, reports, content, data, meetings, documents, customer questions, or admin. You probably already use AI. But you're still doing most of the work manually. This workshop is about fixing that.

​No AI lecture. No 50-slide presentation. No generic prompt engineering course. Your work. Your tools. Your workflow.

​This is for professionals and founders who want practical results, not another AI course. If repetitive work keeps coming back, you belong here.

​This is not a lecture. This is a working session in a tiny group (max 4–5 people) where we sit down and turn one repetitive task from your real work into an AI-powered workflow. We find the parts AI can handle, design the better workflow, build it, and test whether it actually saves you time.

​You leave with one working system and a clear idea of what to automate next. Then you get a free follow-up call to check your progress or fix what broke.

​Stop doing the same work twice.

​✅ Small co-working session where you automate one real task from YOUR actual job
✅ Personalized guidance: we adapt to your tools, your workflow, your goals
✅ Small group (4–5 max) so everyone gets personal instructions
✅ Hands-on with modern AI tools and automation — Claude Code, OpenClaw, and whatever fits your workflow
✅ A before/after you can measure: hours back, every week
✅ Free 1:1 follow-up hour after the workshop to check progress or debug issues
✅ Open to anyone with repetitive work — technical or not

​❌ A slide deck you watch while checking your phone
❌ A generic "AI will change everything" pep talk
❌ A prompt engineering course with 50 examples you'll never use
❌ A networking event disguised as learning
❌ One-size-fits-all. If you want that, YouTube is free!
❌ A certificate to put on LinkedIn

​

​****- You leave with:****

• ​One working AI workflow that doesnt break
• ​A system built around your actual work
• ​Hands-on guidance
• ​Coworking access
• ​A free 1:1 follow-up after the workshop
• ​A clear idea of what to automate next

​****- We will be working with tools like:****

• ​MCPs,
• ​APIs,
• ​Agents,
• ​Claude Code,
• ​OpenClaw or Hermes,
• ​Workflows, etc.

​📍 Location: May change due to capacity. You will be informed in advance.

​"I believe the more we let AI take care of the robotic aspects of our lives, the more time we have for the human parts of it."

​I have founded 20+ businesses. Some worked. Most didn't. That is the point. I test fast, fail fast, and keep what works.

​Right now, I am deep in the world of AI, optimizing my stack for every task and would like to share that knowledge while learning.

​What I am building now:

• ​Explorer Elite — adventure marketplace for solo guides and small outdoor businesses
• ​52 Waypoint — free incubator for serious founders who want to build without funding
• ​111 Network — open source, decentralized, offline-first communication
• ​UnitEd — NGO, free global teacher training platform

​and a few more as a founding partner or consultant.

Turn one repetitive task from your real work into an AI workflow. Small group, hands-on, your tools ✌️

​Most AI courses show you slides about what AI can do. This one gets your hands busy with what AI will do for you!

​No experience needed. No technical background required. You just need a challenge you want to solve or curiosity to learn latest tech.

​This is for any job, any background. If you have work that eats your time, you belong here.

​This is not a lecture. This is a working session in a tiny group (max 4–5 people) where we sit down and build AI systems for your actual work. You bring your daily friction. We build the AI stack together.

​Over the session, you will map out your workflow, find where AI actually saves time, set up tools like Claude Code and OpenClaw hands-on, and leave with a working system you can use Monday morning. Then you get a free follow-up call to check your progress or fix what broke.

​Bring a problem. Build a system.

​✅ Small co-working session where you build AI tools useful for YOUR actual job or project
✅ Personalized guidance: we adapt to your tools, your preference, your goals
✅ Small group (4–5 max) so everyone gets personal instructions
✅ Hands-on with modern AI tools: Claude Code, OpenClaw, and whatever else fits your workflow
✅ A system you can revisit, improve, and expand in future sessions or on your own
✅ Free 1:1 follow-up hour after the workshop to check progress or debug issues
✅ Open to complete beginners and experienced builders alike

​❌ A slide deck you watch while checking your phone
❌ A generic "AI will change everything" pep talk
❌ A coding bootcamp that assumes you know Python
❌ A networking event disguised as learning
❌ One-size-fits-all. If you want that, YouTube is free!
❌ A certificate to put on LinkedIn
