Sydney’s meetup for people who build with AI.

Talk and Tinker is Sydney’s meetup for people who build with AI.

Our kickoff edition focuses on engineers shipping real products in production, no hype, just hard-won knowledge, live demos, and Q&A.
We’re hosting at UNSW Founders with a room full of tech leads, founders, and researchers from Sydney’s top AI companies.

### What to expect

• Two 15-minute talks from Sydney builders on systems that are live today—covering architecture, evals/guardrails, latency/throughput trade-offs, prompt + tool design, and post-launch telemetry.
• Live demo segment: show us the product, not just the slides.
• Open-mic “lighning pitch”: 2 minutes to explain what you're building and why it's important.
• Serious networking: meet engineers and teams actually shipping—bring your questions and your repo.

### Who should attend

• Senior software/ML engineers, MLEs, infra folks, and product-minded ICs.
• Founders/PMs with technical depth who care about reliability and user impact.
• Researchers translating papers to production (and the reverse).
• Students and others looking to get inspired by the amazing products being built in Sydney.

### Why it’s worth your evening

• Concrete implementation details you can reuse the next day.
• Honest lessons on evals, safety, cost control, and observability.
• Inspiration from the best Sydney has to offer
