About us
We're a community of builders focused on the practical engineering challenges of deploying AI in production. Whether you're working with LLMs, embeddings, RAG systems, or inference optimization, this meetup is about sharing real-world experiences building AI-powered applications.
We explore the entire AI engineering stack - from lightning-fast inference with Groq and edge deployments on Cloudflare Workers, to vector databases like Supabase and Pinecone, to scalable data layers with PlanetScale and ClickHouse. We're vendor-agnostic and technology-curious, embracing everything from open-source models to API-based solutions.
Our sessions cover:
- Building production RAG systems and semantic search
- Optimizing inference performance and cost
- Edge AI and distributed inference architectures
- Vector databases and hybrid search strategies
- Prompt engineering and fine-tuning workflows
- Observability and monitoring for AI applications
- Multi-modal applications and agent architectures
- Real-world case studies and architecture deep-dives
Whether you're deploying your first LLM application or architecting enterprise AI systems, join us to share knowledge, tackle engineering challenges, and build the next generation of AI-powered products.

Talk Title: Automating your house with PAF (Partner Approval Factor)
Talk Summary:- Walkthrough of my Home Automation setup including High Availability/ redundancy. This includes security cameras, lights, irrigation, power, HVAC.
- Walk through what I've learnt, how i keep my partner happy/ oblivious
Decoupling your tinkering from your time, how i run multiple projects 24/7 without constant supervision.
- Walkthrough of the principles behind autonomous coding agents/ agent factories
- Walkthrough of how i do this, and make it availible via iOS for decoupled supervision
About our Sponsor:
Synadia is the creator and maintainer of the low-latency opensource messaging fabric NATS.io. Teams like NVIDIA, Replit, & Browserbase chose NATS.io because it makes AI architectures simple, resilient, and fast — run inference anywhere, route intelligently, respond in real-time. "Inference.net uses NATS.io to power the world's largest distributed GPU cluster spread across 73 countries".Got an interesting talk for this or furture meetups? DM me!
Remember to bring along some great questions! See you all there...
