AI Dinner 12.0 — Entering the CLI war
Tons of updates as always! Starting from Apple 🍎 trying to buy Perplexity (WTF?), to the new local coding agents: Gemini CLI, Claude CLI, Codex. We'll also discuss a few research papers and dedicate a good amount of time to ML/LLM learning as always.
Agenda

9:00 PM Networking
AI NYC 🗽🍎 is a community of top-tier researchers, engineers, and founders working on AI. We meet regularly to find signal in the sea of noise of the AI news cycle, we read research papers, discuss about LLMs and about other AI/ML engineering topics.
Some of our past discussions include:
MCP Workshop: we focused the entire event on learning how MCP works and showing demos.
DeepSeek Study Group, we read the R1 and V3 papers and went into the rabbit hole of reasoners and show how to install DeepSeek.
SOTA RAG: integrating search and retrieval mechanisms like HyDE with LLMs for enhanced knowledge retrieval in real-time applications.
Sponsors
Contact us to host and sponsor one of our events. Humble bragging, we're the hottest AI engineering community in NY at the moment.

👉 Important
The AI NYC community is exclusive to researchers, engineers, and founders who are 100% focusing on AI/ML. We review every application and only approve who brings real value to the event. Note: we are NOT a web3 community!
