Beyond Prompts — Bangalore Builders Meetup | From Fine‑Tuning to Shipping LLMs
Our first virtual workshop drew 195 sign‑ups, 50 live builders and 60 deep‑tech questions.
On 16 May (5–8 PM) we’re taking the conversation offline so Bangalore’s engineers, product hackers and AI‑curious founders can trade code, pitfalls and wins face‑to‑face.
