What is AI Tinkerers?

AI Tinkerers is a meetup designed exclusively for practitioners with technical, machine learning, and entrepreneurial backgrounds who are actively building and working with foundation models, such as large language models (LLMs) and generative AI.

If you’re deeply passionate about utilizing AI, creating new use cases, developing LLM-enabled applications, or have hands-on experience in building such systems, this group is the perfect fit for you. Join us to connect with like-minded individuals.

Who is this for?

👉 It’s AI Tinkerers, not AI enthusiasts. We screen attendance to active builders and hands-on users of AI with a shared level of expertise in order to create a collaborative environment ideal for early-stage discovery and innovation. The goal here is to connect like-minded individuals in Hong Kong who are actively building a more interesting future with LLMs and Diffusion Models.
