Open Source AI Summit SF
KryptoPlanet is hosting its 9th Open Source AI Summit back to SF where it all started! This time we are going to The House by Edge & Node.
Open Source AI Summit is a one day seminar focused on navigating opportunities on how AI and Web3 technologies can complement each other. We look forward to hearing insights from founders and builders in respective fields.
The summit is co-hosted with NEAR Protocol, sponsored by Gensyn, Self Protocol, and Hashed. Talks will be concentrated towards the broader vision of open source AI. We will have F&B provided and a cute photo booth!
