Copenhagen Local AI Meetup

Join our Discord: https://local-ai.dk/

A meetup for developers, researchers, makers, and AI enthusiasts who want to run, build, and optimize AI systems on their own hardware.

This community is focused on local and self-hosted AI: running large language models, multimodal models, agents, and supporting infrastructure without relying on external APIs. Whether you're experimenting on a laptop, running models on a workstation, building a GPU server, or operating a homelab, you'll find people working on similar challenges.

Topics include:

Running local LLMs with Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, SGLang, LM Studio, and Open WebUI

Self-hosted AI infrastructure and inference servers

Model optimization, quantization, fine-tuning, and distillation

GPU performance, memory optimization, and hardware setups

Agent frameworks and local-first AI applications

MCP servers, tooling, and developer workflows

Evaluation harnesses, benchmarks, testing, and observability

Open-source AI ecosystems and emerging local AI tooling

Privacy-preserving and offline AI deployments

The format is simple: technical talks, lightning talks, demos, benchmarking sessions, and open discussion. Bring your projects, experiments, benchmarks, failures, lessons learned, and questions.

This is not a startup-pitch meetup or a prompt-engineering meetup. We're here to discuss the practical realities of building and running AI systems locally: squeezing performance out of hardware, evaluating models rigorously, sharing infrastructure knowledge, and pushing open-source AI forward.

Whether you're running a 7B model on a laptop, benchmarking agent frameworks, building custom evaluation harnesses, or serving frontier open models from your own GPUs, you're welcome.

Come meet others building the future of local AI in Copenhagen.
