75th Deep Learning Meetup: AI Manipulation / Scaling LLM Infrastructure

Vienna, 🇦🇹 Austria

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!

Language of the Meetup: ENGLISH 🇬🇧

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.

Startup Highlight - AI Agents and GenAI Music producing

Vienna, 🇦🇹 Austria

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.

ahead x wien - KI erleben & Zukunft verstehen

Vienna, 🇦🇹 Austria

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

KI verändert unseren Alltag. Zeit, sie wirklich zu verstehen.

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.

Das erwartet dich Staunen, was heute bereits möglich ist

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.

Orientierung in einer Welt voller Schlagzeilen

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.

Praktische Ideen für deinen Alltag

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.

Risiken erkennen und sicherer werden

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.

Ein Abend für die ganze Familie

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.

Wien, bist du bereit?

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.

AWS Meetup Vienna #52 - hosted by Enspired

Vienna, 🇦🇹 Austria

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.

Make AI Do Your Work!

Vienna, 🇦🇹 Austria

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.

​What it is

​✅ 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

❌ 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.

​About the Instructor

​"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

​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.

​What it is

​✅ 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

​What it is NOT

​❌ 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!

Microdosing JS errors: Why we got rid of Microfrontends

Vienna, 🇦🇹 Austria

Hi everyone,

following the summer break, we'll start into autumn with a talk from the trenches: Marita and Felix from Rail Cargo Group will talk about the challenges they faced with a microfrontends architecture and the path they chose going forward.

We'll open doors at 17:30 and start the talk at 18:00. Space is limited, so please register if you plan to come. This time, the location is provided by Rail Cargo Group and OEBB.

See you there!
Fabian & Gottfried


The talk: Monorepos promise speed, autonomy, and happiness. We believed them.

With NX, Module Federation, and split deployments, every team could ship independently, at least in theory. What we got instead: 40-minute CI builds, 4-minute local builds, thousands of duplicated assets, broken security fixes, and a lot of "works on my machine".

In this talk: why we consolidated to one UI, one build, one shared release. The architect on why technical autonomy without organizational alignment breaks down. The Ops engineer on how builds went from 40 minutes to 1: mostly deleting things, plus some optimization.


Marita Klein is a Solution Architect and passionate advocate for modern software engineering at Rail Cargo Group. As a software enthusiast and communicator, she bridges the gap between developers and management, promoting better quality, stronger engineering practices, and a healthy software culture. Her focus areas include software architecture, DevSecOps, testing, platform governance, and organizational transformation.


Felix Klein (not related) is a Site Reliability Engineer and dislikes writing bios.

Nobody Touched the Code - Reliability engineering for non-deterministic software

Vienna, 🇦🇹 Austria

One line disappeared from a system prompt during an ordinary week of edits. The tests stayed green. The JSON stayed valid. And the classifier quietly began routing almost every request to the wrong specialist — a production failure nobody caused by touching the code.

This evening is about the failures that look correct: behavioural drift in LLM systems. Output that a human reader would sign off on, that passes every schema check, and that safe fallbacks quietly paper over — so a mis-routed request can go unnoticed for days. We'll look at why the usual answers (add validation, write more evals) don't catch it, and what testing, observability, and plain engineering discipline actually look like when your software is non-deterministic.

Then we open it up: a panel on who owns reliability when the code didn't change — system prompts as code vs. config vs. content, safe fallbacks vs. loud failures, and whether an LLM feature can ever earn the same trust as deterministic code.
Developers and architects running LLM features in production, or about to — this one's for you.

Schedule
• 18:00 — Doors, drinks & networking
• 18:30 — Welcome & housekeeping
• 18:35 — Talk "Behavioral drift: the silent bugs in LLM workflows" + Q&A
• 19:15 — Short break

[ONSITE] Move over, WPF! Avalonia for X-Plat Desktop Apps (with AI help)

Vienna, 🇦🇹 Austria

This event is for people who join the event in person at Lean-Coders

If you join the event remotely, please RSVP here: https://www.meetup.com/dotnet-austria/events/316062272

This meetup is organized by DotNetDevs.at (https://dotnetdevs.at/).

Abstract

[ILSpy](https://github.com/icsharpcode/ILSpy/) started its life in 2011 as a ramshackle application on .NET Framework and made its way through one major UI refactoring up to .NET 10, all the while using WPF as its UI framework. Third-party projects (forks) built frontends using other UI frameworks, but we stayed put. Until... you'll hear that story in the talk.
Replatforming your UI on a different framework doesn't start with coding, it starts with evaluating your options, analyzing the pros and cons, the community, the strengths and weaknesses and what it ultimately comes down to, your preferences. It is a big investment you are making, and you don't want for it to come back and haunt you.
Once you have settled on a framework of your choice, modern tooling takes center stage: coding agents, which are really good at porting work and frontends in general. But is one-shotting a good idea? What surprises do they have in store for you? Where do they really excel? Costs? And that is not the end of it... What happens with platform idiosyncrasies? Your CI system? The deployment story?
You will get a first-hand experience report with all the oopsies and facepalms, not protecting the guilty, who are your speakers today!

About Christoph Wille:

[Christoph Wille](https://github.com/christophwille) has written the first-ever book on C# in 2000 that was handed out to all attendees at the Professional Developers Conference where .NET was revealed. He has contributed ever since to various communities and open source projects (e.g. ILSpy), and in his day to day work is helping companies build large enterprise and/or Internet-facing solutions with .NET and Azure.

About Siegfried Pammer:

[Siegfried Pammer](https://github.com/siegfriedpammer) is a core developer on the ILSpy project since its early days in 2011. He knows his ways around just about every part of the project, even the ones no one really wants to touch. In his day to day work, Siegfried is working on static code analysis tools for Qt/Axivion.

Women Build With AI

Vienna, 🇦🇹 Austria

A hands-on AI build day for women who want to grow their business across borders. Not a conference — a working session.

Stop hesitating. Start building.

One day. Your real business as the context. You leave with something that works and a clear path to grow beyond your home market.

This is the only hands-on AI build day for women who want to grow their business across borders. Not another AI conference — a working session. Hosted at WKÖ by Ajala Digital, in partnership with AUSSENWIRTSCHAFT AUSTRIA.

What you take home:

  • Your own content engine: a system that produces 100+ pieces of content a month in under 2 hours of your time, in your voice, built on real research
  • At least one more workflow automated live in the room
  • Your own market-expansion AI agent, built with you during the day
  • A personal AI setup that fits how you actually work
  • A personal accountability AI agent with a 90-day roadmap
  • Real connections with other women building the same things
What makes this different:

This is not a tool demo. You won't leave with a list of apps to try sometime. It's also not theory that hands you ten more to-do's and leaves you alone with the implementation. You spend the day building actual automations for your own business, ready to run by the end, with real guidance.

And you build them with one lens the others miss: how to use AI to reach clients, enter markets, and grow beyond Austria, guided by two women who have done it.

  • Women only.
  • Held in English, on purpose. Your clients and your ambitions aren't confined to one country, so neither is this room.
  • Built on internationalisation and global growth, backed by Austria's official trade promotion organisation.
  • All practice. No slide decks you've seen before. No panels where everyone agrees on how important AI is. You get to work.
Who this is for:

Women who are professionally active, want to put AI to work in their business, and want to grow beyond a single market. Founders, executives, and specialists from marketing, HR, finance, and consulting. Women who already feel buried under their daily to-do's and have too little time to chase yet another shiny object, but who are ambitious about where their business goes next and want concrete guidance.
Not for developers or data scientists looking for technical ML content.

💼 Want your company to cover it?
Most professional-development budgets absorb this easily. Download a ready-to-send letter for your manager, it lays out the value in one page and makes approval a one-word yes:

[English version] · [German version]

Your hosts:

Pamela Wagner, founder of Ajala Digital and Hustle Less & Live More, Forbes 30 Under 30, X-Google. She has helped over 3,000 businesses worldwide with tailored growth strategies and has expanded her global marketing company to help business owners use AI more efficiently over the last 2 years.

Renate Schnutt, Ecosystembuilder & Superconnector, Business Facilitator for Austrian Startups and SMEs worldwide. She empowers Austrian companies and scale-ups to expand globally through strategic innovation, technology adoption, and international business networks.

Before the day:

This is a build event, not a sit-back one. About two to three weeks ahead you'll get a short prep pack so you walk in ready to build, not ready to watch. Bring a few simple inputs about your business and you'll leave with a working engine, not notes. Everything you need to prepare takes under an hour.

Photos and videos:
Photos and videos will be taken at this event and may be used for documentation and marketing by Ajala Digital and AUSSENWIRTSCHAFT AUSTRIA. By registering, you acknowledge this. If you prefer not to be photographed, let us know at check-in and we'll make sure of it.

A short note on privacy:

The public guest list is hidden. Luma collects your details for registration and event communication, but this information is not shown to other participants or externals.

Payment by invoice/direct bank transfer: only possible for group registrations. If that is preferred, please send an email to billing@ajaladigital.com and let us know how many people you'd like to register. We'll then issue the invoice and register you separately once we've received your payment.

Tickets are non-refundable. Please note that Eventbrite adds a service fee to the ticket price. Alternatively, you can also buy your ticket on our Luma page, where no service fee is added.
