AI Strategic Initiative Upcoming Events

[Karl Moll]

Hi AI/LLM Interested FINOS Community,

We are excited to announce two more upcoming FINOS event series for the AI Strategic Initiative:

FINOS LLM Exploration:

A follow-up to the kick-off call from two weeks ago where we had 104 attendees! We will be responding to feedback which was brought up on the call, as well as doing a deep dive on the existing work of several of the initiatives in the projects which are being explored as infrastructure for a potential open source LLM for financial services:

Topic: Open Source LLM Exploration in FS Follow-up to Kick-off
When: Wednesday, June 12 @ 10am ET / 3pm BST
Agenda: Overview of existing work & initiatives, how they fit with future work for specific use cases, and what tools/MLOps make sense to collaborate on to support their usage

Event details: Attached, or at calendar.finos.org
