**Our first outdoor meetup of the year! With a new location.** We are getting together to talk about whatever science fiction, new and old, got us excited lately! Movies, books, games; everything goes. This is an outdoor meetup. Feel free to bring your own picnic blanket, food and drinks. We'll be gathering near the tallest trees. **IF IT RAINS: We'll coordinate an alternative meetup space on the WhatsApp Group and update this page.** If this is your first meetup with this group: There is no fixed subject or theme, just feel free to discuss whatever you would like to share about anything Science Fiction. The lingua franca is English, as it is the language we all have in common. However we also switch languages, whenever convenient. We look forward to meeting you. We have a closed chat group on WhatsApp. Not a member? Ask for the invitation link. See you soon!

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.

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.

Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
