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 youโ€™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?

๐Ÿ‘‰ Itโ€™s AI Tinkerers, not AI dabblers. We screen attendance to active builders with a shared level of expertise in order to create a collaborative environment ideal for early-stage discovery and innovation.

AI Tinkerers is designed exclusively for active builders who are building and shipping products professionally with foundation models and generative AIโ€”including engineers, developers, researchers, prompt engineers, creative technologists, and โ€œvibe-coders.โ€ If you can demo working code (or a live serverless flow), dissect the technical choices behind it, and swap hard-won lessons with peers doing the same, youโ€™re our people.

Our gatherings are NOT for:

  • People just starting to explore AI
  • Investors looking to source deals
  • Recruiters, marketers, or consultants pitching their services
