Name: How LLMs Like ChatGPT Actually Work and How to Build With Them
Start: 2026-03-30T23:00:00.000Z
Location: Seventh Son Brewing Company

**First meetup of the Columbus AI Engineering group.**

We’ll kick things off with a practical, beginner-friendly discussion on:

**How LLMs like ChatGPT actually work — and how to build real applications with them.**

We’ll cover:

* what’s actually happening under the hood (at a high level)
* why LLMs behave the way they do (hallucinations, prompt sensitivity, etc.)
* how people are building real systems with them today
* where things break in practice

This will be a **short, informal talk (\~15–20 min)** followed by open discussion and Q&A.
Whether you’re an engineer, builder, or just curious about how modern AI systems work, you’re welcome to join.
No slides, no fluff — just real conversation about real systems.
We’ll hang out afterward and get to know each other.
