About

Hacktoberfest events are happening all month long, and DevPev community is bringing Hacktoberfest meetup to Tashkent. We will be talking about open-source artificial intelligence, openwight models and open source ai tools.

DevPev, a developer community in Tashkent, is hosting a Hacktoberfest 2026 meetup on open source AI. We’ll run open-weight models live on a laptop with no cloud and no API key. We’ll also test how well they handle the Uzbek language and build a small agent with open tools. Talks are in English and Uzbek, and the slides and resources are in English. Everyone is welcome, no AI experience needed. The evening ends with networking.

    Best Use of Gemma 4

    It’s time to see how much you can build with a lightweight, open model. Gemma 4 packs multimodal intelligence into an open-weights model that you can access through the Gemini API. So, what can Gemma 4 bring to your project?

    • Multimodal Experience: Work with text and images to create an assistant that understands more of what users share.
    • Focused AI Tools: Build a focused AI tool for learning, creativity, productivity, or your community.
    • Rapid Prototyping: Experiment with an open model while using the Gemini API to move quickly from an idea to a working prototype.

    Bring your idea to life… what will you build with Gemma 4 today?

These are examples within one challenge, and teams may combine them.

    Open-source or open-weight AI must be an important part of the project.

    The project must be published in a public GitHub repository and use an open-source license.
