๐๏ธ Huge congratulations to the team behind "Your Ballot. Your Block." on winning Grand Champion, first place, at Hack for Humanity: Miami, with The AI Collective and DeepStation at The LAB Miami!
๐
The winning team will share their demo at DeepStation's AI Demo Night tomorrow, October 22. Catch them there!
Miami-Dade redrew its districts this year. In under five hours, a team of four built an open-source app that shows you who is really on your ballot, what each candidate has said in their own words, and where you vote on Tuesday, November 3.
You enter your address and talk with an AI interviewer about the issues you care about. It then shows how closely each candidate matches you, with a source for every position.
๐น Gemma 4 reads what you said and records your answer, with voice by Gemini Live.
๐น Every position links to the candidate's own page or recorded vote.
๐น It's a match, never an endorsement, and your address is never stored.
๐ The winning team:
๐น Sharif Amlani, PhD, CTO at HumanAI Ventures
๐น Vania Arredondo, Founder of FOMI
๐น Schneur Werde, Founder & CEO at DBS Studio
๐น Sandy Denis
๐ It was great working with Aman Sharma, Yuliya Thorne, Juliana Drolhe, and Sergio Leon on this hackathon.
๐ Thank you to The AI Collective and Major League Hacking for building this day with us, to our judges, and to The LAB Miami for hosting our community.

๐๏ธ DeepStation Greece in Athens is excited to share the post-event summary and photos from last week on a journey from idea to NeurIPS paper, and how the paper led to an independent AI research lab!
๐ฌ Building and Scaling an Independent AI Research Lab:
Panos Michelakis (Co-Founder and Lead Researcher, Synkrasis Labs) traced it back to an event in Athens, where he and his friend Giannis started talking through an idea they kept building on the side, beyond their day jobs.
That idea became a paper accepted at NeurIPS, which they presented at the poster session in San Diego, and the side project became Synkrasis Labs, now about fifteen people strong. He didn't skip the hard part either: "We asked professors at NTUA. Most said no. We rewrote the framing four times."
Key Takeaways:
๐น Research didn't need an institution: two friends grew into a team of about fifteen, doing it "for the fun and for the love of the game."
๐น In 2024, with tool calling brand new, they set out to measure the whole path an AI agent takes, not just its final answer.
๐น Getting the paper reviewed took longer than writing it, and help came from a stranger on LinkedIn.
Thank you to Panos for sharing the whole journey, rejections included. A huge thank you to Pi55 for hosting DeepStation in their amazing space once again, and to Natalia Vavoula for hosting the night.
Deep and special appreciation to the DeepStation Greece team who made it happen:

๐ Join DeepStation Greece in Athens for "From an Idea to NeurIPS: Building and Scaling an Independent AI Research Lab" featuring Panos Michelakis, Co-Founder and Lead Researcher at Synkrasis Labs!
๐ฅ Everyone says AI research lives inside the academic path. Almost nobody shows you how it gets built outside it, and Panos has: an idea that began when he was still a student became a NeurIPS paper, and the paper became a lab.
๐ก What you'll learn:
๐น How an independent AI research lab gets built outside academia.
๐น What it took to turn a student idea into a NeurIPS paper.
๐น Why how an agent gets there matters as much as whether it succeeds.
๐ค Bio:
Panos Michelakis is a forward deployed engineer, AI researcher, and founder of Synkrasis Labs, an independent research group studying how AI agents behave in real world environments. At Wonderful, he leads a technical team building AI systems for banking and insurance. He was previously a Palantir Foundry Data Engineer at D ONE. His work brings research and production together, with a focus on not only whether AI agents succeed, but how they get there.

๐๏ธ DeepStation is excited to share the post-event summary and photos from AI Demo Night at the AI Center at Miami Dade College, three live demos in one evening from OpenRouter, DreamForge, and Hugging Face!
๐งญ Any model, any agent, a live tour of OpenRouter:
Carlos Arevalo (Product Designer, OpenRouter, formerly Apollo GraphQL and Flow) gave a live tour of OpenRouter: hundreds of models behind one API key, rankings that show what developers are actually building with, and media benchmarks that put every model on the same tricky prompt so quality, price, and speed sit side by side. Then guardrails that set the rules for spend, models, and providers, and Ori Harness launching Claude Code and Codex on any model with a single command.
๐ฎ DreamForge, a playable game that did not exist when the room walked in:
John Krajewski (Cofounder, CEO & CTO, DreamForge, formerly Electronic Arts) and Amar Shivdasani (Cofounder, COO & CFO, DreamForge, formerly Deloitte) introduced Forge, the AI that builds a game with you. One photo of the AI Center, Grant as the director, Sergey Brin as a visiting billionaire, a rogue AI called Aura, and the game that loaded was Ghost in the Deep, set in a 3D version of this room.
๐ค Hugging Face, from a Jupyter notebook to production without the hand waving:
Muntaser Syed (Lead GenAI Engineer, Insight Global, formerly NVIDIA) ran the whole pipeline live from a sixteen minute Colab notebook: DistilBERT fine tuned with LoRA, exported through ONNX, quantized to int8, two candidates at the release gate, one promoted and one blocked. On how models go rogue: "there's a human decision that either places or takes away the safeguards."
Key Takeaways:
๐น Model choice proved swappable, not a commitment.
๐น Making a game took a conversation and a photo of the room.
๐น A release is a gate, and a person choosing to leave it in.
Thank you to Carlos, John, Amar, and Muntaser for building live.
Thank you to the AI Center at Miami Dade College for hosting our community.
Special appreciation to Arewa Ojelade and Joel Sola, who kept every part of the night turning.
๐ Miami keeps showing up for this, and we keep building it for you.

๐ Join DeepStation for AI Demo Night! Third spotlight: "Any Model, Any Agent: A Live Tour of OpenRouter" featuring Carlos Arevalo, Product Designer at OpenRouter (formerly Apollo GraphQL & Flow).
๐ฅ Hundreds of AI models, one account, and the coding agent you already use. Almost nobody knows where their model spend actually goes. Carlos shows you, down to a single request, live.
๐ธ The Demo
A live tour of OpenRouter: finding the right model in a multimodal catalog from leading labs and providers, rankings that reveal what developers are actually building with, and media benchmarks that test models on the same tricky prompts so you can compare quality, price, and speed side by side. Then into chat to try those models live with a custom prompt.
You'll also see guardrails that set the rules for spending, models, and providers, solo or as a team, and how those rules follow you into Ori, a suite of tools for AI agents, where Ori Harness launches Claude Code, Codex, and more with a single command.
๐ก What you'll learn:
๐น How to pick a model by quality, price, and speed instead of habit
๐น How guardrails control spend, models, and providers for a solo builder or a team
๐น How to launch Claude Code, Codex, and other agents with one command through Ori Harness
๐ค Speaker Spotlight: Carlos Arevalo
Carlos is a Product Designer at OpenRouter, where developers access hundreds of AI models with one API key; his work spans the platform, from multimodal experiences to enterprise products and terminal-based agents. He started out studying architecture at Miami Dade College and has spent more than ten years in design since: as a Staff Product Designer at Apollo GraphQL he shaped tools for companies using GraphQL at scale, and as a Lead Product Designer at Flow he built AI systems and operator tools for managing buildings around the world. Originally from Barranquilla, Colombia, and a longtime Miami local, he loves the beach, exploring new places, video games, and Lord of the Rings lore.

๐ Join DeepStation for AI Demo Night! Second spotlight: "Bringing the Heat: Supercharging Your ML Pipelines with HuggingFace" featuring Muntaser Syed, Lead GenAI Engineer at Insight Global (formerly NVIDIA) and hosted at Miami Dade College!
๐ฅ The Hugging Face Hub made foundation models easy to reach. Almost nobody shows you the road from a Jupyter notebook to a production deployment. Muntaser walks it, live.
๐ธ The Demo
A deep look at the Hugging Face ecosystem: end-to-end ML workflows that scale from constrained edge devices to multi-GPU clusters, using the full stack (accelerate, peft, and optimum) for parameter-efficient fine-tuning, strict evaluation metrics, and faster inference. Whether you run massive cloud pipelines or ship quantized models to the edge, you leave with a framework for treating AI as robust, scalable engineering rather than an API call.
๐ก What you'll learn:
๐น Parameter-efficient fine-tuning with accelerate, peft, and optimum
๐น Evaluation metrics strict enough to trust before you ship
๐น Inference that scales from edge devices to multi-GPU clusters
๐ค Speaker Spotlight: Muntaser Syed
Muntaser is Lead GenAI Engineer at Insight Global and a former Technical Lead in AI at NVIDIA. A computer engineering PhD researcher, he builds AI, robotics, and large-scale ML systems, with deployment experience across banking, DevOps, and multi-agent systems. He is a researcher, practitioner, and developer working in ML and AI across industry and academia, and no stranger to the DeepStation stage: he brought MCP best practices in January and explainable AI in March.

๐๏ธ DeepStation Greece is excited to share the post-event summary and photos from our Athens meetup, โAI Smart Agriculture and Business Growthโ ๐ฌ๐ท
๐ค Building Neuroagro with ML and Agentic AI
Pavlos Dimadis, Founder & CTO of Neuroagro4.0, presented a practical look at how AI can move from data to real-world agricultural decisions and actions.
His core message was clear: AI in agriculture matters only when farmers can trust it and use it in the field.
He explored:
โข The challenges facing modern agriculture, from rising input costs to climate instability and yield pressure
โข Neuroagroโs closed-loop approach: Measure โ Predict โ Recommend โ Act
โข How IoT sensors, agronomic models, ML, and automation work together
โข Why messy, seasonal, and fragmented farm data makes real-world deployment challenging
โข How agentic AI can help small teams scale sales, customer support, reporting, and operations
โข The role of agentic ERP systems in coordinating inventory, installations, payments, and customer workflows
โข How Chatagro can provide farmers with explanations, guidance, and support while escalating complex issues to human agronomists
๐ก Key takeaways:
๐น Applied AI requires more than powerful modelsโit needs reliable hardware, quality data, agronomic expertise, simple UX, and clear ROI.
๐น AI becomes truly valuable when it connects sensors, decisions, and actions in a complete operational loop.
๐น Agentic systems can multiply the capacity of small teams without replacing human expertise.
๐น Trust is essential: farmers need to understand not only what action is recommended, but also why.
A special thank you to ฯ55 for sponsoring the venue and supporting DeepStation Athens, and to all the volunteers who helped make the event possible. ๐
Thank you to everyone who joined us. Weโre looking forward to sharing more about our next event soon! ๐ฏ
