Hendrik Klug is joining us to give a talk on the work he has been doing at Synthara to enable their in-memory compute IP using an MLIR-based stack. As usual there will be pizza, snacks, beer, and soft drinks after the event for participants, sponsored by Prof. Zhendong Su and the Advanced Software Technologies (AST) Lab at ETH Zurich. **Abstract:** Licensing custom accelerators as IP to chip makers comes with all sorts of challenges for the compiler. In particular, compute-in-memory hardware moves computation into the memory hierarchy, which requires a different kind of scheduling than conventional compilation pipelines usually perform. Synthara's computeRAM is an in-memory compute IP that is integrated into a wide range of targets, from smartwatches to datacenter accelerators, and each chip maker brings their own toolchain. So computeRAM has to come with a compilation pipeline flexible enough to plug into whichever platform compiler the chip maker is developing, schedule the memory hierarchy and compute capabilities exposed by the hardware, and stay maintainable as the IP evolves. MLIR's dialect and transformation model lets us integrate into the customer's compilation pipeline rather than replace it, and the same pipeline can be retargeted as the integration surface changes from one chip maker to the next. In this talk we walk through the MLIR pipeline we have built around computeRAM at Synthara: the hardware and the platforms it integrates into, the lowering pipeline to both LLVM and EmitC, and the optimizations we do for computeRAM. Throughout, we share what we learned: the good, the bad and the ugly of what's available upstream. **Location:** The event is taking place in the room G51 in the CAB building of ETH Zurich at the Zentrum campus. Enter from Universitätstrasse 6.

Hey Zürich, we are not slowing down! Angular Zürich is back with another evening of exciting talks exploring the future of Angular, modern developer experience, and where the framework is heading next. And for the first time ever, we’ll have three speakers sharing their insights, ideas, and real-world experiences with the community. **Talks:** *Even moar Angular skills for agentic development* *by Tomas Trajan* AI agents are quickly becoming part of the Angular development workflow - generating components, refactoring code, writing tests, and even orchestrating full features. But getting reliable results requires more than good prompts. In this talk, I’ll share the Angular patterns, architecture decisions, and tooling techniques that make agentic development actually productive at scale. You’ll see how strong typing, standalone APIs, signals, and clear project structure dramatically improve AI-generated code quality, and learn practical workflows for collaborating with coding agents without sacrificing maintainability or developer control. \-\-\- *From Typos to Type Safety — Building a Typed Router for Angular* *by Dominic Bachmann* Route enums, path constant objects, flat route trees to avoid nesting complexity — Angular developers have invented all kinds of workarounds to bring some safety to navigation. But they all share the same problem: a second source of truth that you maintain by hand. In this talk, I'll share how I built angular-typed-router, a drop-in replacement that infers every valid path directly from your route configuration. You'll see the developer experience in action — full autocomplete, compile-time validation — and learn how interface augmentation, template literal types, and recursive conditionals make it work at zero runtime cost. \-\-\- *Angular 22: The Great Simplification* *by Mateusz Halada* Angular has spent the last few releases removing complexity piece by piece - and Angular 22 takes that vision even further. In this talk, we’ll explore how the framework is evolving toward a leaner, more intuitive developer experience with simpler APIs, stronger defaults, and less boilerplate across everyday application development. You’ll see what’s new, what’s been streamlined, and how modern Angular patterns around signals, control flow, routing, and reactivity fit together into a much more cohesive mental model. By the end, you’ll understand not just the new features, but the bigger direction Angular is heading in. **Agenda** * 18:00 - 18:15 – **Intro** * 18:15 - 18:45 – **Tomas Trajan** \- Even moar Angular skills for agentic development * 18:50 - 19:30 **Dominic Bachmann** \- From Typos to Type Safety \- Building a Typed Router for Angular * 19:35 - 20:05 – **Mateusz Halada** \- Angular 22: The Great Simplification * 20:05 - 21:00 – **Networking**

**Important Update: June Event** Please note that our **17th June meeting will not be our usual Entrepreneurs Circle Zürich Business Growth Event**. This month we are doing something different: a small, informal **social networking evening** for existing registered attendees. The event will **not take place at Coworking Lounge Tessinerplatz**, so please do not go to the usual venue. Nothing will be happening there this month. Because this is a small restaurant-based social event, places are limited and we are now full. If you are already registered, please wait for the updated location details and confirm whether you still plan to attend so we can book the correct table size. If this would have been your first EC Zürich event, the better first experience will be our next proper Business Growth Event, where we will return to our usual format with structured networking and a practical business growth session. Thank you for understanding. Roberto

AI is changing the way we develop software. Mattia’s talk takes a fresh look at **Type-Driven Development** (TDD), and how types facilitate not only the work of human developers but also **LLM reasoning**. The talk with be hands-on with code examples and open discussions Agenda: * What is Type-Driven Development * An overview of F#’s type system * How TDD facilitates human developers with AI tools * LLM Tooling with types * LLM reasoning with types * Compositionality and reasoning traces Mattia is a data scientist fighting a losing battle: replacing Python with languages featuring richer type systems. As the co-founder of Entropy42, a Zurich-based startup, he specializes in the verification of ontologies and mathematical optimization programs. There, Mattia leverages type systems and provers to sharpen the performance of specialized small language models. Mattia will use F#, but his talk does not require any prior experience with the language.

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

In this local meeting, you will discover knowledge that you can use to get over the past. The key to improving your personal motivation, self-confidence, and happiness is to get over your painful memories. When you become free of your past, you will be free from stress, anger, anxiety and depression. Studies show that negative emotions can affect your health. By being free of negative emotions, believe it or not, you will most likely even look younger, feel more energetic, and become healthier! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is brought to you by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.
