What is AI Tinkerers?

AI Tinkerers is a meetup designed for practitioners with technical, machine learning, and entrepreneurial backgrounds actively building and working with foundation models, such as large language models (LLMs) and generative AI. If youโ€™re deeply passionate about creating AI 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 perfect for you.
