Bay Area DSPy Meetup

​The Bay Area DSPy Meetup is back, this quarter focusing on lightning talks touching on DSPy features, tips, and tricks. We're optimizing for socializing this time, as every previous session we've had to kick people out who are still chatting. Come, listen, and chat with an incredible community.

​We've got some incredible quick talks planned, including:

• ​Noan Ziems (Notre Dame, MIT, Prime Intellect) will discuss how DSPy and GEPA are being used as training tools by frontier model makers.

• ​Michael Isaac (CMU, CMPND) will talk about dspy.Flex, its goals and how he implemented it.

• ​Josh Purtell (Synth AI) will talk about using DSPy and GEPA while evolving a rubric to match writing tone.

• ​Jialin Zhang (UC Berkeley) will talk about GEPA's new parallel proposals.

• ​Maxime Rivest (CMPND) will talk about DSPy's new LM interface and its design.

• ​Raveesh Bhalla (Orizu) will talk about how optimization is observability problem.

• ​And more!
