AI Tinkerers Seattle: May Demo Night

Join AI Tinkerers Seattle on May 21st for a technical show-and-tell focused on the “how” behind the build. This is a high-signal environment for engineers, researchers, and developers to share messy experiments, technical discoveries, and functional code in the realm of foundation models and generative AI.

We are currently seeing a massive surge in agentic capabilities and infrastructure scale. From the autonomous execution benchmarks of GPT-5.5 to the efficiency leaps in Meta’s Muse Spark, the frontier is moving fast. This meetup is the place to see how these advancements are being implemented in local workflows and production environments.

We’ll be joined by technical experts from Oracle & NVIDIA who will be showing off the latest and greatest in build & deploy infrastructure for enterprise AI.

What to Expect

AI Tinkerers is a “demos first, code deep-dives, and absolutely no fluff” community. We follow the Homebrew Computer Club ethos: we want to see your stack, your agentic workflows, and your context-engineering setups.

• Live Demos: 5-minute technical walkthroughs. No slides, no product pitches—just code and working software.
• Science Fair: Interactive, decentralized demonstrations during networking for deep technical exchange on experimental projects.
• Vetted Networking: Connect with a curated group of 150 active builders who are popping the hood on LLMs.

Call for Demos

We are looking for presenters to showcase their work. Whether it is a specialized cybersecurity model like Claude Mythos, a 1-bit quantization breakthrough like Bonsai 8B, or a custom multi-agent orchestration pattern, we want to see it.
