What is AI Tinkerers?

AI Tinkerers is a meetup exclusively for practitioners with technical, machine learning, and entrepreneurial backgrounds who are actively building and working with foundation models, such as large language models (LLMs) and generative AI. If you’re deeply passionate about creating LLM-enabled applications, have hands-on experience in building such systems, and want to connect with like-minded people who share your level of commitment, then this group is the perfect fit for you. With AI Tinkerers meetings happening in many cities, we support a dedicated global community.

Who is this for?

We are not just “AI enthusiasts”, we are AI tinkerers. The core essence of AI Tinkerers is active collaboration around early-stage discovery and innovation, which requires a high degree of experimentation, vulnerability, openness to sharing challenges and learnings, and collaboration among individuals with a shared level of expertise. This unique environment allows us to embrace experimentation, foster an atmosphere of trust and innovation, and create world-changing solutions. 🌍

🎤 Demo Submissions

These will be short, casual talks. We encourage all attendees to demo what they’re working on. Talks will be limited to 5 minutes. Pitch decks are not allowed - we want to see your work in progress! Please note that capacity is limited, so we’ll prioritize those who are able to present a demo.
