This month we'll be featuring a talk by Luis Serrano, an expert on machine learning from Cohere, who is also our sponsor for this month.

The event will be **in-person** and hosted at the **Cohere** office (171 John St 2nd Floor, Toronto, ON M5T 1X3). We'll have drinks, food, and great conversation to boot.

**Topic:** Large Language Models: What Are They And How Do We Use Them?

**Speaker**: Luis Serrano

I have a belief: math, science, machine learning, etc., are all easy to understand!

Why do they look so hard, then? Because very often, beautiful concepts are hidden behind layers upon layers of abstraction, making them unnecessarily complex.

My goal is to pull the curtain and demystify these topics by explaining them with real-life concrete examples, and showing that most complex algorithms and formulas reduce to common sense when viewed from the right angle.
