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 like-minded 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 - Founder demos/talks begin
• 8:00 PM - Networking
• 9:00 PM - Doors close
