Build with AI Antananarivo 2026 is an immersive, community-driven technical workshop designed to bridge the gap between AI theory and real-world deployment. Building on the success of previous years, this 2026 edition—organized in a massive collaboration between GDG Antananarivo, WTM Madagascar, and GDG on Campus ESTI—shifts the focus toward building production-ready intelligent systems.

This year, we go beyond simple prompts. Participants will dive into the next generation of Google’s AI frontier, mastering:

• Advanced Gemini Models: Utilizing ultra-low latency and multi-modal capabilities for complex reasoning.

• Open Models with Gemma: Fine-tuning and deploying lightweight, high-performance open models.

• Vertex AI & AI Studio: Leveraging enterprise-grade pipelines to move from prototype to local impact.

• AI Agents: Building autonomous workflows that don't just "chat," but "act."
