Join us for the very first AI Tinkerers TLV meetup - an evening for engineers, researchers, indie hackers, and curious minds shaping the future of AI. Whether you’re fine-tuning models, prototyping copilots, or building infra, this is your place to connect with others who are actually doing the work.

No fluff, no hype - just real people sharing real projects, ideas, and lessons learned.

We’re coming off the energy of last week’s hackathon, and we’re excited to keep the momentum going. If you’re building with AI (or want to be), come hang out.

We’ll wrap up with an informal afterparty - good vibes, music, and plenty of time to connect.

Who Should Attend

This event is 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 you’re 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.

Our gatherings are not suitable for those looking to enter the field, individuals seeking to market their services like SaaS sales, consulting or recruiting, angel investors aiming to connect with prospective founders, or professionals looking for early stage clients If you attend AI Tinkerers, it is because you’re actively tinkering on LLMs and generative AI and you’ve built something you’re eager to share with other like-minded builders.

We maintain that cultivating a concentrated group of practitioners helps to establish a climate of trust, transparency and cooperation. Such an environment is which essential for driving meaningful progress in the realm of AI-powered applications.
