โ๏ธโ๏ธ Register above to join us for an evening of kick-ass demos and networking with other active builders. This is an event you do not want to miss!
What is AI Tinkerers?
AI Tinkerers is a meetup designed exclusively for practitioners who possess technical, machine learning, and entrepreneurial backgrounds and are actively building and working with foundation models, such as large language models (LLMs) and generative AI. If youโre deeply passionate about creating LLM-enabled applications, have hands-on experience in building such systems, and are eager to connect with like-minded individuals who share your level of commitment, then this group is the perfect fit for you. With AI Tinkerers meetups taking place in multiple cities, we cater to a dedicated community of practitioners.
Who is this for?
๐ Itโs AI Tinkerers, not AI generalists. We screen attendance to active builders with a shared level of expertise in order to create a collaborative environment ideal for early-stage discovery and innovation.

The goal here is to connect like-minded folks in the Rome area who are actively building a more interesting future with LLMs. We canโt let the folks in Silicon Valley have all of the fun!
