What we’re about
Hands-on project-oriented data science, with a heavy focus on machine learning and artificial intelligence. We're here to get neck-deep into projects and actually do awesome things!
Join our new discord https://discord.gg/xtFVsSZuPG where you can:
- discuss more AI/ML papers
- suggest/plan events
- share and discuss github projects
- find and post jobs on our jobs channel
- buy/sell used local gpu/server equipment
- scroll our social media aggregators for the latest AI research news across Bsky, X, Reddit, Youtube, Podcasts, and more
The meetup consists of:
- recurring study groups (if you want to start one, just notify Ben to be made a meetup co-organizer).
- intermediate/advanced working groups (starting in 2019)
- occasional talks and gathering (aiming for at least quarterly starting in 2019)
Upcoming events (4+)

Silicon Valley Generative AI has two meeting formats:
1. Paper Reading - Every second week we meet to discuss machine learning papers. This is a collaboration between Silicon Valley Generative AI and Boulder Data Science.
2. Talks - Once a month we meet to have someone present on a topic related to generative AI. Speakers can range from industry leaders, researchers, startup founders, subject matter experts and those with an interest in a topic and would like to share. Topics vary from technical to business focused. They can be on how the latest in generative models work and how they can be used, applications and adoption of generative AI, demos of projects and startup pitches or legal and ethical topics. The talks are meant to be inclusive and for a more general audience compared to the paper readings.If you would like to be a speaker or suggest a paper email us @ svb.ai.paper.suggestions@gmail.com or join our new discord !!!
