About the Event

Come celebrate Independence Day with us! Except, this one is about being independent of model choice. You are welcome to join us in The Melody, and learn more and discuss building with LLM-agnostic tech stack, optimizing model costs, or the state of open-source models. Expect food, drinks, lightning talks, and great company. The event is for approved-only attendees, and will make sure you really do create meaningful connections beyond networking.
