SUMMARY:Vancouver AI Operators — Open Coffee
DESCRIPTION:An informal monthly meetup for Vancouver-area operators running AI workloads in production. Last Friday of every month\, 8 to 10 in the morning\, at Pallet on Carrall. \n\n\n\nNo agenda. No speakers. No name badges. Bring whatever is broken in production\, or whatever is working and worth comparing notes on. People who run their own GPUs\, people running on rented compute\, people debating whether to migrate either direction\, people thinking through procurement\, observability\, eval\, or hiring. All welcome. \n\n\n\nFree. No RSVP. Look for the table with the most laptops open. If you are visiting Vancouver and the dates line up\, drop in.

SUMMARY:On-Prem LLM Deployment Workshop — H100 to vLLM in 3 hours
DESCRIPTION:A three-hour\, hands-on workshop where you take a 70B-class open-weights model from cold disk to a stable production endpoint. You bring a laptop and a willingness to read logs. We provide remote H100 hardware\, the model weights\, and a working reference repository. \n\n\n\nThe agenda is deliberately narrow. We cover quantization tradeoffs\, vLLM configuration for sustained throughput\, KV cache sizing\, request batching\, and the observability you actually need on day one. By the end of the session you will have served real traffic against your own endpoint and you will leave with a runbook that documents every command\, file\, and config value that produced it. \n\n\n\nThis is not an architecture overview. It is a working session for people who are going to deploy a model next month and would prefer to skip the first ten failures. $250 CAD. Capped at twelve attendees so screen-shares stay readable.
