The world of AI is moving at an incredible pace, and the infrastructure powering it is more critical than ever. This unique event, brought to you by the GDG Cloud Brussels community in collaboration with NVIDIA, will pull back the curtain on the hardware and cloud platforms that fuel the AI revolution. We'll explore the powerful synergy between Google Cloud and NVIDIA, providing insights into how industry leaders are tackling the most demanding AI workloads. Whether you're training large language models or deploying inference at scale, this session will equip you with the knowledge to build the future. You will learn more about Google's AI accelerators (incl. TPU’s), AI Hypercomputer and NVIDIA's NIMs for optimized inference, NeMo for building custom models and the emerging field of Physical AI.

18:00 - 18:30: Doors Open & Drinks

18:30 - 18:35: Welcome

18:35 - 19:05: Introduction to AI Hypercomputer - Google

Learn about how you can access Google's AI accelerators (incl. TPU’s) and AI Hypercomputer, a state-of-the-art supercomputing system designed specifically for the immense demands of training and serving large-scale artificial intelligence models. Rather than just assembling powerful components, it represents a co-designed system where hardware, software, and networking are built to work in concert.

19:05 - 20:00: Accelerating AI with NVIDIA and Google Cloud - NVIDIA Jeremy Wietrzykowski

Explore how NVIDIA and Google Cloud are bringing together hardware and software to power AI innovation, with a focus on NIMs for optimized inference, NeMo for building custom models, ready‑to‑use blueprints to accelerate development, seamless GKE integration for scale, and the emerging field of Physical AI. The session highlights how this partnership leverages capabilities to streamline the journey from experimentation to production deployment.

20:00 - 21:00: Networking, Pizza & Drinks
