At the opening of the Bielik Summit 2025, a collaboration between Bielik.AI and InPost was announced, turning InPost into a patron of Bielik and a co-creator of its business foundation. This marks a turning point where the Polish open-source model shifts from a passion project to a component of a real AI strategy in big business.<\/p><p>The event took place at The Tides in Warsaw. CampusAI was among the partners, and hAI Magazine served as one of the media patrons.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bielik 3.0 launching.<\/h4><p>Another major highlight of the day was the launch of Bielik 3.0, a model now supporting 30 natural languages and increasingly positioning itself as Europe&#8217;s response to global leaders. It&#8217;s clear that its creators are aiming beyond borders: this is a project born in Poland but with the ambition to operate on an international level.<\/p><p>The new version of Bielik represents both a leap in quality and a statement: in Europe, it&#8217;s possible to build our own models based on local data, open licenses and a genuine desire to compete with the giants.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI in practice<\/h4><p>The Bielik Summit 2025 program was crafted around a straightforward motto: <em>&#8220;Show real implementations, not slides&#8221;<\/em>. And indeed, the entire day felt like a walk through different AI worlds, from technology to business and regulations.<\/p><p>On the main stage, speeches unfolded into a coherent story:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>About persistence, intuition, and determination in creating innovations and open-source models.<\/li>\n\n<li>About using AI in business: competitive advantage, implementation strategies and working with data.<\/li>\n\n<li>About AI applications in regulated sectors: finance, energy, health, administration, media and law.<\/li>\n\n<li>About technological sovereignty: for both governments and organizations.<\/li><\/ul><p>Thematic scenes allowed us to dive into specific cases, ranging from automation in logistics and e-commerce, through customer service transformation, all the way to local models used in reporting, analytics and document management.<\/p><p>In the tech part of the event, participants got a peek &#8220;under the hood&#8221;: learning how to train models in Polish conditions, use local supercomputers, integrate Bielik with the existing infrastructure (on-prem, cloud and hybrid), build agents and multi-model systems, as well as smartly use synthetic data and benchmarks.<\/p><p>What was truly remarkable, though, was who stood next to whom. Model creators, tech companies, businesses, the public sector and scientists all filled the same space. It wasn&#8217;t an &#8220;LLM specialists&#8217; club&#8221; but rather a cross-section of the entire ecosystem that will actually need to collaborate if Europe is to build its own AI identity.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety starts with people<\/h4><p>At CampusAI, we wrapped up the day with a panel on AI and security. We presented a perspective that&#8217;s still quite rare: security isn&#8217;t just about legal regulations or system configurations. It starts with people, their skills, habits and understanding of technology.<\/p><p>We highlighted three aspects:<\/p><p><strong>Awareness.<\/strong> Without understanding how AI models work\u2014the differences between LLMs and traditional tools, the role of data, the limitations of generative systems\u2014we can&#8217;t really talk about responsible AI use. That&#8217;s why we focus on educating non-technical people: employees, managers, whole teams.<\/p><p><strong>Tool independence.<\/strong> Our approach isn&#8217;t about sticking to one tool \u2014 it&#8217;s about the ability to navigate between models and providers, understanding the risks, and making informed decisions. In a world where local models like Bielik are growing alongside giants, this skill is critically important.<\/p><p><strong>Habits and practice. <\/strong>Safety doesn&#8217;t come from a single training session. It&#8217;s about the daily choices we make. What we paste into prompts, how we anonymize data, how we share results, where we draw the line on automation. Our programs\u2014both platform-based and advisory\u2014are designed to genuinely transform these habits.<\/p><p>We also talked about Me+AI, the mandatory entry module for every CampusAI client. It&#8217;s a few hours of work, capped off with a graded project assessed by a person. This stage levels out the knowledge base, explains market architecture, legal and ethical issues, and teaches the basics of prompting. Over 35,000 people have already benefited from it, highlighting the need for well-structured education.<\/p><p>Our panel fit right into the prevailing approach at the Bielik Summit: models and infrastructure are just half the puzzle. The other half is people.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shared space, shared responsibility<\/h4><p>Just by looking at the corridors and tables, it was clear something had &#8220;clicked.&#8221; Model creators, startup founders, representatives of big companies, administration employees, scientists, lawyers, educators \u2014 all were talking about AI from different angles but around a common theme: how to do it right, meaningfully, and on our own terms.<\/p><p>It&#8217;s the spontaneous consultations, the sharing of experiences, and stories about what works and what doesn\u2019t that build a real ecosystem around local models. No wonder we felt right at home at the Bielik Summit. For us, it\u2019s a natural environment: a space where infrastructure, models, education and real processes come together.<\/p><p>From the perspective of CampusAI, the Bielik Summit 2025 clearly showcased the direction the European AI scene is heading towards. Local models like Bielik are no longer just curiosities \u2014 they&#8217;re starting to play a real role in company strategies. The ecosystem&#8217;s maturity was also evident in the event&#8217;s format itself: representatives from different communities gathered in one place, discussing in a multi-layered context.<\/p><p>However, the most significant change lies in shifting the focus. Instead of questioning <em>whether it&#8217;s worth<\/em> to use AI, more and more organizations are now asking <em>how to do it responsibly, effectively and safely.<\/em> This is exactly where local models meet human expertise. Systems like Bielik 3.0 and similar solutions need informed users who understand how they work, their limitations and their potential. Meanwhile, organizations need education that allows them to use these models without losing control over their data and processes. Right here, at the intersection of technology and expertise, we see today the greatest opportunity for the European AI market.<\/p><p>Congratulations to the Bielik.AI team and the event partners for boldly committing to a local model and creating a space where serious discussions about it can take place. Special applause for Sebastian Kondracki for his consistency in developing Bielik and fostering a real community around it.<\/p><p>For CampusAI and the readers of hAI Magazine, it&#8217;s a positive sign: European AI doesn&#8217;t have to be just stories about what&#8217;s happening on other continents. More and more, it&#8217;s a narrative we&#8217;re writing right here with our own models, decisions and responsibility.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>InPost as the patron of Bielik, the launch of Bielik 3.0, and a packed room of people eager to discuss real AI implementations and challenges.
