🔥 Save the date: Wednesday, September 18th from 6:00pm - 9:00pm.

Join us for an exciting evening of hands-on demos, talks, and networking at our September meetup hosted at Betaworks! Connect with fellow technical AI innovators and share your work in a 5-minute talk/demo, or simply engage in discussions with like-minded builders.

What is AI Tinkerers?

AI Tinkerers is a meetup designed 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 and want to connect with fellow builders, this group is the perfect fit for you.

Who is this for?

We are not just “AI enthusiasts”, we are AI tinkerers. Our gatherings are meant for those who are actively tinkering on LLMs and generative AI. If you’re looking to network without a technical focus or seeking to market your services, this event may not be suitable for you.

Event Schedule:

• 6:00 PM - Doors open
• 7:00 PM - Talks/Demos begin
• 8:00 PM - Networking
• 9:00 PM - Doors close

👑 Sponsors

The event is generously sponsored by Betaworks - Betaworks has been a foundational part of the NYC tech ecosystem for the last 15 years – first, as a startup studio building brands you know and love like Giphy, Tweetdeck, Bit.ly, and Dots, and more recently as a pre-seed and seed-stage investor in companies like HuggingFace and Stability AI, among many others.

Bloomberg Beta - Bloomberg Beta is an early-stage venture firm backed by Bloomberg L.P., investing out of a $75M seed fund focused broadly on the future of work. (We are now investing out of our fourth fund, which is the same size and focus as the first three funds, as well as a $75M “opportunity fund” that invests at later stages in companies we’ve already backed, so we now have $375M in total under management.) While we focus on general areas of interest to Bloomberg, we choose our investments independently, without preference for companies who have or want a relationship with Bloomberg. We invest for financial return. We do see Bloomberg as a template for startups — founded on a powerful idea, bringing transparency to markets, achieving global scale, with a strong and open culture that embraces technology, led by its founders for decades. To serve our founders, we seek — like the rest of Bloomberg — to bring different worlds together (business, technology, culture, the public sector, among others).
