​Join us for the second Open Source Science Dublin meetup, where cutting-edge scientific research meets open-source technology, AI, and cloud-native infrastructure.

​Expect technical deep dives, cross-disciplinary conversations, and (of course) pizza 🍕.

The event is hosted by IBM Research, and we thank PyData Ireland for being our community partner.

NOTE: The event is limited to 150 people on a first-come, first-served basis.

In this event, we're exploring Generative Computing: the practice of writing programs that call models the way they call functions, with the same expectations of structure, testability, and governance we apply to the rest of our software.
LLM calls today are too often ad-hoc prompts glued into application code — brittle, hard to test, and impossible to audit. Generative Computing reframes them as first-class program elements: typed, composable, verifiable, and governable.
You'll see how this plays out in practice through Mellea, an open-source Python library for building predictable generative programs; FactReasoner, a real-world port that gained reliability and speedups by moving onto Mellea; and the Mellea Skills Compiler, which turns plain-language skill specs into governed, certified pipelines.

Talks

Talk 1: TBD

Talk 2: Generative Computing with Mellea: Programs That Call Models Like Functions

• Speaker: Rahul Nair, IBM Research
• Description: An introduction to Mellea (mellea.ai) an open-source Python library for building predictable generative programs. We'll cover the core abstractions — instructions, requirements, sampling strategies, and verifiers — and show how treating model calls as structured, testable operations changes what you can build. Live coding, real examples, and a look at how Mellea composes with the rest of the Python ecosystem.

Talk 3: FactReasoner: Porting a Probabilistic Factuality Assessor to Mellea

• Speaker: Radu Marinescu, IBM Research
• Description: FactReasoner (paper , code) is IBM's probabilistic long-form factuality assessor — it decomposes generated text into atomic claims and reasons over their support against retrieved evidence. This talk walks through the port from a bespoke implementation to Mellea, the reliability improvements and speedups that came out of it, and what porting an existing system teaches you about where Generative Computing pays off in practice.

Talk 4: The Mellea Skills Compiler: From Plain-Language Specs to Governed Pipelines

• Speaker: [TBD], IBM Research
• Description: The Mellea Skills Compiler takes a plain-language skill specification and compiles it into a governed, certified generative pipeline — with evaluation harnesses, requirement checks, and provenance baked in. We'll show the compiler end-to-end on a worked example and discuss what "certification" means for LLM-backed skills, and how this closes the loop between rapid iteration and auditable production deployment.

Welcome to an evening with IBM Research where we discuss Generative Computing, Mellea, and the practice of writing programs that call models the way they call functions.

Bring a symbol that means something to you and turn it into a layered wooden piece, painted and assembled by hand.

Bring a symbol that means something to you and turn it into something you can make with your hands.

It could be the crest of your favourite football, rugby or GAA team, your family crest, a club emblem, a badge or simply a symbol you like.

Before the workshop, send us an image of what you would like to make. We’ll prepare the design and laser cut all the wooden pieces in our studio, so when you arrive everything is ready for you.

Then it’s your turn.

You’ll choose your colours, paint the different pieces and put everything together layer by layer.

While we make, we’ll also show you how we took your image and turned it into something physical using digital design and laser cutting.

You don’t need to know anything about laser cutting or design before coming. We prepare the technical part so you can enjoy making the piece.

If you’re not sure what you want to make, we’ll also have some designs in the studio for you to choose from.

All materials, paints and tools are included.

At the end, you’ll take home your own wooden emblem, made by you and ready to hang, display or give to someone.

Send us your image or reference at least 48 hours before the workshop, so we have enough time to prepare your pieces.

A cinema-style book club series on AI, power, and what comes next—from The Coming Wave to Empire of AI.

We’re not just reading about AI anymore.
We’re living inside it.

From breakthroughs to disruption, AI is reshaping how we work, think, and lead.

But beneath all the innovation lies a deeper question:

👉 Who is shaping this future and who truly benefits from it?

This is the second session of a 2-part live series on AI, power, and society.

We go deeper into the bestseller book Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman’s OpenAI by Karen Hao , unpacking the ambitions, power, and contradictions behind the race to build AI.

🎬 THE EXPERIENCE

This is not a typical book club. It’s a curated space for thinking, questioning, and understanding what comes next.

Hosted at Odeon Point Square Cinema, one of Dublin’s most iconic cinematic venues, this is far from your typical book club experience.

👉 Think:

• cinematic setting
• immersive conversation
• curated, intimate experience

Written by award-winning journalist Karen Hao, one of the leading voices covering artificial intelligence and the tech industry, Empire of AI pulls back the curtain on the rise of OpenAI, Sam Altman, and the race to build machines powerful enough to reshape the world.

Drawing from deep reporting and insider access, the book explores the dreams, ambitions, and growing tensions behind the companies driving the AI revolution.

This session will unpack:

• The hidden power dynamics shaping the future of AI
• The tension between idealism, profit, and control
• What the race toward AGI means for creativity, work, and society
• Whether AI is being built for humanity or simply becoming another empire

This event is Part 2 of a curated AI series:

Part 1 — The Coming Wave (April 30)
→ Understanding the scale and speed of AI disruption

Part 2 — Empire of AI (September 30)
→ Who holds the power behind AI systems
(based on Empire of AI by Karen Hao)

👉 Attend one or both but together, they tell the full story.

This event is part of My SafeSpace , a platform rethinking how we engage with books.

We don’t just recommend or summarize books. We turn them into experiences, conversations, and perspective shifts.

👉 Think Blinkist or Audible meets real-life dialogue but deeper, human, and interactive.

✔️ A guided breakdown of key ideas from the book
✔️ Real conversation on AI, power, and society
✔️ A curated, intimate setting (not a crowded event)
✔️ Open discussion — your perspective matters
✔️ Networking with curious, forward-thinking people

• Professionals trying to understand AI beyond the headlines
• Leaders navigating change

Reliable Agentic Systems on Snowfalke: A Cortex Agent Deep Dive, Anastasiia Stefanska, Snowflake Data Superhero

Building a Cortex Agent is easy. Building one that is reliable, observable, cost-effective and maintainable in production is a different challenge.

In this session, we go beyond the standard Cortex Agent configuration and look at the engineering patterns that become important as agentic applications grow in complexity. We will explore how to evaluate agent behaviour rather than just final answers, how to use traces and AI observability to understand what an agent is actually doing, and how to monitor and control the cost of agent execution.

We will then move beyond the individual agent and look at agentic harnesses and orchestration patterns - including when to rely on the Cortex Agent's built-in reasoning loop, when to introduce deterministic control around it, and how multiple specialised agents and tools can be combined into larger workflows.

Anastasiia Stefanska is a Berlin-based data leader, Snowflake Data Superhero, and co-founder of the Women on Snowflake user group. She works as a lead of a data team and specialises in managing data products using Snowflake and Tableau. She is an active speaker and contributor in the data community, recently sharing insights on Cortex Agents and presenting at Snowflake Summit events regarding AI-ready data, AI agents, and careers in the AI age.

Infrastructure and the Weather: Climate Resilience and Ireland's Role in Europe's Digital Construction

Build Digital National Conference 2026 – I**********nfrastructure and the Weather: Climate Resilience and Ireland's Role in Europe's Digital Construction Transformation

How Ireland plans, delivers and operates infrastructure under changing environmental conditions.

Resilient infrastructure is built on good information.

Ireland’s infrastructure is being asked to perform under increasingly complex environmental, economic and delivery pressures. Building resilience will require not only better physical assets, but better information, better decision-making and more connected ways of working across the full infrastructure lifecycle.

The Build Digital National Conference 2026 will bring together leaders from government, infrastructure, industry and the digital construction community to explore how Ireland can respond to these challenges. The conference will consider the relationship between climate resilience, digital transformation and information management, and how these areas can combine to support more effective planning, delivery and operation of the infrastructure Ireland depends on.

It will also look outward, examining how Ireland can both contribute to and benefit from wider European and international developments in digital construction, standards and emerging technologies.

• The morning session addresses climate-resilient infrastructure and the systems required for Ireland's infrastructure network to both withstand and respond to changing environmental conditions. It considers how the sector can deliver that infrastructure more effectively through digital technology and structured information workflows, and how the Irish BIM mandate, aligned with ISO 19650, is improving delivery, governance and lifecycle asset management across public projects.

• The afternoon turns to Ireland's international engagement, and the value of connecting the Irish construction and infrastructure sector to global digital transformation work. Sessions will cover Ireland's participation in the EU BIM Task Group, the European open, BIM Forum, the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), buildingSMART UK & Ireland and buildingSMART International, alongside emerging European standards for artificial intelligence in the built environment.

The conference is delivered by Build Digital, the national programme supporting digital adoption across Irish construction and the built environment under Project Ireland 2040, working through its three hubs: Digi Adopt, Digi Implement and Digi Innovate.

Who should attend

• Public sector infrastructure clients and policymakers
• Engineers, architects and contractors
• Information managers and digital construction leads
• Technology providers working in the built environment
• Researchers in climate resilience and digital construction

Informal, meet founders & tech people, talk tech, network: hang out with people who are both excited about the future and building it.

Aimed at recreating the tech cafe environment in Silicon Valley, Tech in a Circle is an intimate "networking" event where a founder or tech developer shares an exciting project he or she has been working on. It's not a pitch, not a sales stunt, not transactional. We all sit in a circle (even the speaker), and the speaker shows a demo of what he or she has been working on. Like a meeting between friends where one friend has an exciting project to show off. As he or she shows the demo, people can ask any question at any time or make comments; it's a conversation. After the demo is done, we all hang out. The ultimate goal of Tech in a Circle is to bring the magic of The Valley to the EU, one event at a time.
