Minds Mastering Machines - M3: LLMs im Unternehmen 2026

About

LLMs im Unternehmen is an online thematic day from the Minds Mastering Machines (M3) conference family, organised by iX at Heise Medien together with dpunkt.verlag. Held in German, it focuses on a specific question for organisations adopting generative AI: how to run large language models on their own infrastructure rather than relying solely on external cloud APIs. The event takes place entirely online as a single day of talks, followed by a series of separate hands-on online workshops in the weeks afterwards for those who want practical experience with LLMs. The programme is designed for developers, data scientists, data engineers and AI operations staff who are responsible for deploying and maintaining models inside a company. Sessions at this German-language LLM conference 2026 examine how to choose suitable models, what hardware and tooling are required, and how to approach efficiency, scalability and cost, including comparisons between local GPU inference and API-based usage. Further talks address fine-tuning, embedding models, local coding agents and adapting existing projects to work with self-hosted models. For teams weighing data protection and cost control, the event provides a focused, practitioner-level view of on-premises AI in enterprise settings.
