Speaker: Dishant G. How Small Language Models (SLMs) are powering the next generation of efficient, privacy-first AI applications. Learn practical strategies to design, build, and deploy lightweight, scalable AI systems without heavy cloud dependence. What you'll learn: - What Small Language Models are and why they matter - Benefits of on-device AI: privacy, low latency, and cost efficiency - Building lightweight GenAI & conversational systems - Architecting scalable solutions with RAG pipelines - Practical demos and real-world implementation insights
Speaker: Kamesh Sampath Deep-dive session on integrating PostgreSQL and PostGIS with Apache-based real-time Change Data Capture (CDC) and open analytics for streaming spatial intelligence at scale. What you'll learn: - Streaming changes from PostgreSQL using WAL-based CDC without custom code - Transforming and enriching PostGIS data for machine learning - Applying real-time predictive techniques to spatial workloads - Leveraging NLP to generate insights from streaming data - Visualizing end-to-end results using a reproducible open source architecture
Progress is reviewed across projects. Contributors receive feedback, mentors refine guidance strategies, and project admins optimize task distribution to maximize impact.
OSCG’26 concludes with a global wrap-up session highlighting achievements, success stories, and opportunities to continue contributing beyond the program.
