AI Tinkerers

Join the AI Tinkerers’ global community at its first meetup in The London AI Hub!

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

If you’re deeply passionate about creating LLM-enabled applications, have hands-on experience in building such systems, and want to connect with like-minded people who share your level of commitment, then this group is the perfect fit for you. With AI Tinkerers meetings happening in many cities, they support a dedicated global community.

Not just “AI enthusiasts”, but rather “AI tinkerers”. The core essence of AI Tinkerers is active collaboration around 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 embrace experimentation, foster an atmosphere of trust and innovation, and create world-changing solutions.

🎤 Demo Submissions

This is a technical show-and-tell for builders, by builders. We want to see your messy experiments, creative hacks, and technical discoveries in action. Your demo should answer: “How did you build this interesting thing?” not “Why should someone use this product?” Submissions here!

📌 Remember: This is Homebrew Computer Club for AI. We’re here to geek out over technical implementations, not hear about go-to-market strategies.
