Exclusive meetup for AI practitioners
Recently LAB42 hosted the AI Tinkerers event, in collaboration with Fireworks.AI. AI Tinkerers is an exclusive meetup for practitioners with technical, machine learning and entrepreneurial backgrounds who are actively working with foundation models, such as large language models (LLMs) and generative AI.
Companies from LAB42 participated, showcasing their work alongside other attendees who also presented their current projects. The event provided great opportunities to network and engage with like-minded individuals.
