“Wow, literally everyone is building something.” 👀

The first AI Tinkerers event in LA was a big success; we almost reached capacity. We kicked off the evening with an opening demo from AUTOGRAF, who hopped on a plane to perform a DJ set that very night! Throughout the event, we witnessed a series of incredible technical demonstrations, ranging from newly published Python packages to 24-hour prototypes. Additionally, we head from several promising startups showcasing refined products. Afterward, a small group came together for a tour of the legendary Venice Art Crawl.

We’re excited to maintain this energy and momentum with our next event, which will be located Downtown! Once again, we have a signature LA location as our host: Two Bit Circus. This venue boasts the world’s greatest urban theme park, combining both public and private spaces, including a factory floor dedicated to research and development. We invite you to join us.

If you’d like to showcase your project, please apply for a demo slot. Although slots are currently available, they are filling up rapidly.

Date: September 28 Time: 6:00 PM (Arrival) - 6:30 PM (Demos Start) Official end time: 8:00 PM, but feel free to stay at the venue as long as you’d like.

Venue: Two Bit Circus!

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.
