High-impact AI is quite fast. And before we reach AGI, lets take a look at some of the most interesting Uses of AI.
Together with leading national voices from Austria's AI ecosystem, we dive into advanced use cases, technical breakthroughs and the practical lessons learned when building, deploying and scaling AI – from medical imaging and semiconductor simulation to AI-assisted coding and company-wide AI enablement.
Hosted by Ruben Hetfleisch (AI Austria).

GenAI Community – Codeforce Edition (Virtual)
·OnlineOnlineThe Codeforce Returns: Beyond LLMs! 🔢 🛠️
Generative AI is about much more than chatbots and text generation. This edition of the Codeforce explores how foundation models can work with structured data, how Austria’s AI Factory supports real-world projects, and what happens when highly capable models escape their intended environments. This time, three external speakers bring three very different perspectives:
🔢 Tabular Foundation Models & Prescriptive Maintenance
Felix Saretzky will introduce foundation models designed for tabular data. He will show how these models can support prescriptive maintenance: moving beyond predicting what might fail to recommending what action should be taken.🏭 AI Factory Austria
Daniel Lehner will give us a quick introduction to AI Factory Austria. What is it? Which infrastructure, expertise, and services does it provide? And how can companies and researchers benefit from it?🔓 How Serious Are AI Model Breakouts?
Daniel Noszian will examine OpenAI’s recent model breakouts, including the Hugging Face incident. How serious are these events? What do they reveal about increasingly capable models? And could the story also be a very smart marketing move?Our regular online meetup brings together makers, researchers, developers, and thought leaders to unpack what is new, what matters, and what comes next. Join us for an evening of technical insights, practical examples, and open discussion.
🌐 What to expect:
📈 Trend Talk: The latest developments and community hot takes from the AI frontier
🔢 Technical Talk: Tabular foundation models for prescriptive maintenance with Felix Saretzky
🏭 Quick Pitch: The services and opportunities offered by AI Factory Austria with Daniel Lehner
🔓 Security Deep Dive: OpenAI model breakouts, the Hugging Face incident, and the line between real risk and smart marketing with Daniel Noszian
💬 Open Floor: Bring your questions, experiences, projects, and opinions. Everyone’s voice counts!
🎯 Who should join?
Developers, data scientists, researchers, AI engineers, security professionals, manufacturing experts, and anyone curious about applied AI beyond regular LLM use cases.Let’s exchange ideas, challenge the headlines, and explore where AI is heading next.
See you at the GenAI-Codeforce.
