VAST Data Launches Cosmos: A Community for AI Practitioners

As companies race to adopt AI and transform their operations, data scientists, engineers, and AI specialists face complex challenges that require constant learning and adaptation. With the rapid pace of technological change, staying on top of the latest advancements alone can be a daunting task. Recognizing these obstacles, VAST Data is excited to announce the launch of Cosmos, an online community built to connect AI practitioners across industries.?

At VAST Data, we work closely with individuals and organizations who are constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Many of them are building the tools and systems that will shape the future of enterprise AI. Cosmos will provide a community where these AI practitioners can connect, share best practices, and learn from each other. With real-time discussions, hands-on labs, and a library of resources, Cosmos is designed to help you succeed in your AI projects, no matter how complex.

The Core Components of Cosmos

Real-time interaction

Cosmos brings AI professionals together through Discord. Whether you’re troubleshooting an issue, seeking advice on a new method, or simply looking to connect with others in the field, Discord provides a dynamic space for conversation. Here, you’ll be able to chat with peers and experts, share experiences, and get timely advice from people who are navigating the same challenges as you. It’s a fast, easy way to tap into collective knowledge and make valuable connections.

Labs and Certifications

Learning by doing is often the best way to master new AI tools and techniques, and that’s where Cosmos Labs comes in. These hands-on training sessions give you the opportunity to dive into real-world examples, guided by experts who understand the practicalities of AI deployment. Whether you’re experimenting with a new framework or working through a challenging model, the labs are designed to help you deepen your skills in a supportive, interactive environment.

Knowledge Sharing

To bring everything together, Cosmos features a Discourse forum that acts as the community’s central hub. It’s the go-to place for long-form content, including in-depth articles, knowledge sharing, event calendars, and a vendor showcase. This forum provides a lasting space for discussions, allowing members to revisit valuable insights and share resources that can help others in their AI journey. This is where Cosmos evolves into much more than a chatroom—it’s a library of knowledge built by the community, for the community.

Your Invitation to the Cosmos Community

Cosmos is for the AI practitioners who are in the trenches, designing and deploying the systems that will shape the future. If you’re a data scientist, data engineer, AI specialist, or hold any role where you’re responsible for building and implementing AI solutions, Cosmos is for you. It’s a community of peers who understand the complexities and challenges you face—people who, like you, are navigating a landscape that changes faster than ever before.

But let the record show: Cosmos isn’t just for those who are already experts. Whether you’re leading an AI team, a student interested in how AI will impact your future career, or just beginning to deploy your first model, Cosmos offers a space where you can learn, collaborate, and grow. By joining, you’ll have access to practical advice, hands-on labs, and the collective experience of a vibrant community that wants to see each other succeed. We’re inviting you to come be part of a community that’s here to support you, wherever you are on your AI journey.
