Join us for our revival of LA Ruby featuring guest speaker, Chad Pytel, co-founder of [thoughtbot](thoughtbot.com) and author of *Pro Active Record* and *Rails Antipatterns*.

Curious about Deepseek? Chad will be sharing his experience integrating Deepseek into Rails applications. He’ll discuss setting up the model on your machine, integrating it with your app, making requests, and handling responses, all without relying on external AI services.

After the presentation, stick around for complimentary drinks and a social hour with fellow Rubyists. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just curious about AI integration, this is your chance to reconnect with the LA Ruby community.

Big thanks to [Scout Monitoring](https://www.scoutapm.com/) for being our sponsor. Their support helps make these community gatherings possible. Thank you.
