Own your AI

​AI is becoming infrastructure. The question is no longer whether you use it — it’s who controls it, who pays for it, and who sees your data.

​Own Your AI is a new engineering group for practitioners who want to own AI, not rent it. Sovereignty over your models, your data, and your costs. Independence from a handful of hyperscalers. Mastery from the token up to the hardware. A community of people who actively build systems and want to exchange notes with peers who do the same.

​Who is this for?

  • ​LLM- und Agentic-Engineers, AI-Platform-Engineers, Hands-on Tech-Leaders

Agenda

📢 Intro: „What’s new in August 2026“ by Andreas and Andreas
A short overview of the latest developments in LLMs and agentic AI over the past five weeks.

​Talks

🚀 „LLMs in Cyber Defense“ by Aaron Kaplan.

​Cybersecurity expert Aaron Kaplan explores the cutting-edge intersection of AI and modern threat defense as well as how AI based tools can help in incident response.

​The topic can be broadly split into :
– AI 4 cyber security
– Cyber security 4 AI
Both aspects will be touched upon.

🚀 „Long-Term Memory Concepts – Which to use for what?“ by Andi Kunar
Andi will present the current and upcoming concepts of long-term memory for agents.

🚀 „How to Build a Fully Autonomous AI Software Factory?“ by Andreas Petersson
Andreas will present an end-to-end concept of a pipeline where AI agents autonomously plan, write, test, and ship software.

​Lightning Talks

​⚡ „Was KI kann“ by Florian Zsifkovics
