PLEASE REGISTER ON LUMA TO BE ACCEPTED.

We're back for an evening or real code, real problems, and real pipelines.

"Too many ML/AI projects die in demo land. This meetup is for the engineers building the ones that don't"

​Join us for a night of hands-on, code-first talks from builders who ship—no theory, no fluff, no “high-level” hand-waving. Just deep dives into real-world systems, architecture decisions, failures, hacks, and the weird stuff nobody writes about but everyone runs into.

​Whether you’re fine-tuning latency-sensitive agents, parsing 100+ page PDFs, or debugging hallucinations in production—this one’s for you.
