AI Native Netherlands holds its thirteenth edition at AWS's Amsterdam office, with two talks on matching compute to the task. Christian Melendez, a principal specialist solutions architect at AWS, presents on choosing CPU or GPU, on fine-tuned small models for classifying, routing, embedding and reranking, and on a CPU-first agent on Amazon EKS that calls an LLM only when needed, including what the team measured and which assumptions proved wrong. William Rizzo, global field CTO at Mirantis, gives a second talk whose subject is still to be confirmed. Food, drinks and open networking close the evening.
