”Wow, literally everyone is building something.”

Join us in Los Angeles to connect with fellow AI Tinkerers. Our event is tailored towards technical professionals, machine learning enthusiasts, and entrepreneurs who are dedicated to developing LLM-enabled applications. Join us to network, exchange ideas about pioneering uses of AI, or participate by sharing a kick-ass AI demo or lightning talk.

LA style: We’re hosting it the same night as Venice Art Crawl, where the neighborhood hosts dozens of art installations. We’ll wrap up officially by 8:30pm so you can get out and see some art, if you’d like. Of course, you’re welcome to stick around until 10pm and talk AI.

What is AI Tinkerers?

AI Tinkerers is a meetup designed exclusively for practitioners who possess technical, machine learning, and entrepreneurial backgrounds and 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 are eager to connect with like-minded individuals who share your level of commitment, then this group is the perfect fit for you. With AI Tinkerers meetups taking place in multiple cities, we cater to a dedicated community of practitioners.

Who is this for?

We’re not “AI Enthusiasts”, we are AI Tinkerers. The core essence of AI Tinkerers lies in active collaboration surrounding 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 push the boundaries of what’s possible with AI and LLMs while maintaining a strong sense of camaraderie and mutual support.

Putting it out there: if one of you by some chance is building interactive projection art that uses an LLM, we have a prominent exterior wall with two short cast projectors available.📽
