What is AI Tinkerers?

AI Tinkerers is a meetup and global network 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?

👉 It’s AI Tinkerers, not AI enthusiasts. 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.

Please read the FAQ

The goal here is to connect like-minded folks in the Portland area who are actively building a more interesting future with LLMs. We can’t let the folks in Silicon Valley have all of the fun!
