Now what?* by Chris Ford, in English 🎤 7:20 PM — *The parrot is eating the harness: how LLMs are being trained and what it means for your AI applications* by Gabriel Mesquida, in English 🤝 8:00 PM — Networking **\*\*\*** **🎙️Talks** **Code is Cheap: Now what? (In English)** Coding agents like Claude Code make a big difference to how individual developers do their job. Some activities, in particular those relating to making code, are a whole lot faster. Coding agents also make a big difference to how we run engineering organisations, because they have traditionally been shaped by the constraint that code was very expensive to produce. Examples of how organisation-level processes change include how we treat legacy code, how we design architecture and how we decide whether to buy something off-the-shelf or build it ourselves. The changing economics of software will reshape the context within which every software developer works. If you understand these dynamics, you have a better chance to take advantage of the opportunities. *By Chris Ford, Technology Director at Thoughtworks. He's the author of the upcoming O'Reilly book 'Agentic Engineering at Scale', which is all about getting value from coding agents beyond developers' personal productivity.* **The parrot is eating the harness: how LLMs are being trained and what it means for your AI applications (In English)** In this presentation we will review what LLMs are and how they have been evolving. From the initial transformers to the latest evolution trained with Reinforcement Learning and with more efficient latent attentions. At some point, they needed to be incorporated into a wider, integrated system to make them useful, managed by code. And that’s when harnesses were born: crewAI, strands, openclaw and also our beloved Claude Code. They all have something in common: they ride the parrot so that the LLM does what we want, in the way that we want, adding instructions, identity, guardrails, memory, persistence. Include in the list of harnesses any AI application that your startup, or your company is building on top of an LLM. But, where did harnesses come from and what do they do? Now for the main premise: training by Reinforcement Learning is so powerful that, in the last few months LLMs have been evolving incorporating functions that harnesses used to do for them. What has happened exactly and what does this mean for us, AI developers and AI entrepreneurs? *By Gabriel Mesquida, course facilitator and teaching assistant at Stanford Engineering Center for Global & Online Education* **\*\*\*** We’d like to thank our sponsor, **Runroom** 🙌, for providing the space, snacks, and drinks! 🍕🧃 Don't miss it! 🎉 \-\-\-\-

**Scientific Paper Reading Club: Beyond Transformers & Multimodal Frontiers** This is part of the scientific paper reading club. This Saturday, we are expanding our horizons beyond standard LLMs! Following our recent discussions, we will be diving into points 3 and 5 from our reading list presentation: **Alternative architectures (SSM/RNN)** and **Multimodal foundation models**. To make it even more exciting, we will be connecting these topics to some of the freshest breakthroughs presented at the recent ICLR conference ([https://iclr.cc/](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Ficlr.cc%2F)). **What to expect:** Our presenter, Maxim Musin, will guide us through these two major frontiers in modern AI: 1. **Alternative Architectures (SSM/RNN):** Transformers are incredibly powerful, but their computational costs remain a massive bottleneck for long contexts. We will discuss why State Space Models (SSMs) like Mamba are emerging as the next big leap. We will look at fresh ICLR[[1](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Fvertexaisearch.cloud.google.com%2Fgrounding-api-redirect%2FAUZIYQGC4niR9aCGjHBT9LMF4wz46OkiGKU9B7nghuo3OzbRQCWNy4fGizlUydBsvuhZgYay8Y31rCTrfquWnuEHjAibPui0IrBi71JMXQG59U0rk5DKa-hzJg%3D%3D)] insights, such as "Mamba-3: Improved Sequence Modeling using State Space Principles" [https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.15569](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2F2603.15569) and "MambaSL: Exploring Single-Layer Mamba for Time Series Classification" [https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.15174](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2F2604.15174) 2. **Multimodal Foundation Models:** We will explore how AI is learning to "think" natively across different continuous spaces and complex interactions. We will touch on standout ICLR papers like "Massively Multimodal Foundation Models: A Framework for Capturing Interactions with Specialized Mixture-of-Experts" [https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.25678](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2F2509.25678) and "Theory of Space: Can Foundation Models Construct Spatial Beliefs through Active Exploration?" [https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.07055](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2F2602.07055) You don't need a heavy math background to join—Maxim will break down the intuition behind these complex architectures so that the core concepts are easy to follow for everyone. **Meeting Details:** 🗣 **Presenter:** Maxim Musin 💬 **Language of the meeting:** English 🎟 **Entrance donation:** 10 eur 📍 **Location:** Maui coworking (Note: For some reason, Meetup maps sometimes wrongly point to other addresses. Here is the exact address: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/fjx9t4zG8GnEmXLr9?g_st=ac](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Fmaps.app.goo.gl%2Ffjx9t4zG8GnEmXLr9%3Fg_st%3Dac) ) Looking forward to a great discussion this Saturday! Aparently there is no way of fixing meetup's markdown mess, sorry for this guys, just use your abstract imagination and experience with latech to read anouncement, this markdown render problem seem so be some kind of bug, i cleaned it in the redactor but with no effect, probably copying and pasting it clean into editor will solve it, but generating clean landing page with similar capabilities in claude code would also solve it in a way, so i didn't bother, see you at saturday

No slides. No speaker. No agenda. Just developers talking shop over a cold one. This is an informal gathering for engineers, founders, and builders who are deep in the agentic coding trenches — using tools like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, OpenCode, or rolling their own agent pipelines. Come swap what's actually working, what blew up in production, and what you're excited about right now. We'll be at Barcelona, and the format is simple: show up, grab a drink, and share what you know. Bring a laptop if you want to show something, but it's not required. WhatsApp Group: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/GVS0bHMPIzID3Ch9lt6YsU?mode=gi_t](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GVS0bHMPIzID3Ch9lt6YsU?mode=gi_t) **What we talk about (but not limited to):** \*Agentic coding workflows and tooling * Prompt engineering & context engineering in practice \*Multi-agent architectures and orchestration * AI-native product building \*What's broken in the ecosystem and how you're working around it **Who should come:** Developers, technical founders, and AI engineers who build with (or on top of) LLMs. All levels welcome — senior devs with war stories and curious beginners both make the conversation better. **Format:** Open conversation, round-table style. Everyone teaches, everyone learns.

AWS Cloud Club swag included\! 🚀 Join us for a beginner-friendly hands-on workshop where you will build an AI-powered task tracker using AWS. In this workshop, you’ll learn how an AI agent can understand natural language requests like “Add assignment due on July 25 for Digital Principles,” extract the important details, create a task, store it, and respond back. You will: * Explore core concepts such as AI agents and tool/function calling * Build and deploy serverless workflows * Connect AI with AWS services like Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and Amazon Bedrock * Understand how autonomous AI agents work from the ground up > **Note:** By the end of the session, you'll have a practical cloud-based app that can be extended into a to-do list, study planner, productivity assistant, or workflow automation tool. **See you there - let's build and deploy!**

Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. We’ll cover: * Why “it looks good” is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. 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.

You can sleep in on the Semiquincentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
