CTO's Meetup II: The Science Behind LLMs
We won’t spoil the surprise — but Friday’s session is going to be one of our most sharp, technical, and genuinely useful deep-dives yet.
Mihai has been preparing a talk that goes far beyond the usual “LLM 101” material. Expect insight, clarity, and a look into areas of LLMs that most engineers rarely get to explore, like RAG, vLLM & structured recoding, evaluation methods, and much more.
And with a panel anchored by Corneliu, Cosmin, and Roland, the discussion will go exactly where senior builders and CTOs want it to go.
If you work with AI, build products, lead tech teams, or you’re simply curious about how these systems really work under the hood, you’ll want to be in this room.
