The aim of this group is to facilitate deep dives into LLM research topics, harnessing the skills of Toronto's vibrant AI ecosystem and promoting intellectual rigor. To this end, for each session we assemble a team of top Toronto AI scientists and practitioners to conduct an in-depth study of an emerging topic that is expected to go mainstream 6 months from now. The team presents their findings along with jumping-off points for future research at a meetup session, held at Toronto's top AI companies. Eventually we aim to spawn off community open-source research projects this way. 📧 Mailing List Thank you so much for your interest. We’re thrilled to see so many of you sign up for this event! We’ll be collecting emails to invite you to future editions of the meetup, but if you’d prefer not to be on the mailing list, just let us know.
