FOSDEM is the annual event for all things free and open source software in Europe happening over the 1st weekend in February in Brussels. In this episode I want to talk about one "dev room" (developer room) in particular: the one on Open Research, that has been running since 2020.

Over the course of a day, we heard from a variety of speakers on topics ranging from climate change to human choreography in computing.

Curious? Have a listen

Meine Gäste Carina Haupt und Christoph Steinkamp vom DLR beschäftigen sich mit der Frage, inwieweit der Einsatz von Large Language Models (wie z.B. ChatGPT) bei Forschungsprojekten und deren Softwareentwicklung helfen? Große Versprechungen - aber kleine Brötchen?
