Frankfurt Local AI Soirée
Local AI Night Frankfurt
Last week, Anthropic pulled OpenClaw from its Claude subscription. Less than 24 hours notice. No transition period. Just gone.
It’s a sign of where things are heading. Cloud AI made sense for a while, but control, privacy and cost are pushing more and more companies in a different direction. Away from the cloud. Towards owning their own stack.
That’s exactly why we’re bringing together developers, IT professionals and AI enthusiasts for an evening around one of the most relevant topics in tech right now: local and private AI.
From running your own models on local hardware to building autonomous AI agents with frameworks like OpenClaw, the space is moving fast. This evening is about exploring exactly that. Expect talks, live demos and honest conversations about what local AI looks like in practice and where it is heading.
