AI Valley – Where Machines Learn and Ideas Fly

Welcome to AI Valley, our theme world for everyone who wants to go beyond understanding AI and start actively shaping with it. This is where the role of the developer evolves – from a traditional engineer to a creator, building new kinds of software, workflows, and products together with AI.

The journey starts with strong foundations in modern AI development. Sessions like “Building with Open Source AI: A Crash Course” and “RamaLama: Making Working with AI Models Boring” focus on making AI reliable, reproducible, and ready for everyday use – less hype, more substance. From there, you’ll dive into building secure, data-grounded agents using Google’s ADK and the MCP Toolbox, and learn how to run browser-based AI that is privacy-first and offline-ready.

Productivity and collaboration take center stage as we explore how the GitHub Copilot Agent can significantly boost your coding efficiency, how AI-assisted refactoring transforms legacy code into structured, reusable knowledge, and how constraint programming enables a paradigm shift: describing problems instead of hand-ccripting every solution.

We also take a critical and practical look at current trends and economics. The AI Vibe Check helps separate real value from buzzwords, while “You May Be Entitled to Cheaper (and Faster) LLM Costs” reveals how to reduce LLM expenses without sacrificing performance.

You can also look forward to our interactive “AI Challenge” where up to 10 teams develop innovative AI solutions in various categories.

AI Valley is where we create the next generation of software together with AI – secure, open, efficient, and focused on delivering real impact.
