Mixture of Experts | AI for Science
About the event
The most important breakthroughs in AI often begin long before they become products, companies, or widely accepted research directions.
At Activate, we spend time with exceptional researchers, engineers, and builders working at the frontiers of AI, creating spaces for deep technical exchange, open exploration, and conversations that rarely fit into conferences, labs, or formal research settings.
Mixture of Experts is our private dinner series for people at that exact edge: researchers, research engineers, and technical builders thinking deeply about where AI is heading and what deserves more attention.
This edition brings together a small, curated group of researchers for an evening of candid discussion around emerging research directions, recent breakthroughs, open questions, and the ideas shaping the next frontier of AI. We’ll also dive into select research and system reads from leading AI labs as prompts for deeper conversation.
What to expect
Candid discussion on emerging research directions, open problems, and ideas worth exploring
Honest perspectives on what is overhyped, underexplored, or missing from today’s AI research landscape
A small, curated room designed for thoughtful conversation rather than presentations, pitches, or surface-level networking
