Some of the topics for this month!
Grok 4 just dropped, and it’s already #1 on all benchmarks. We’ll have a lot to unpack!
Apple 🍎 trying to buy Perplexity (WTF?)
Local coding agents: Gemini CLI, Claude CLI, Codex 🔥.
We’ll also discuss new research papers, and dedicate a good amount of time to ML/LLM learning as always.

9:00 PM Networking
AI NYC 🗽🍎 is a community of top-tier researchers, engineers, and founders working on AI. We meet regularly to find signal in the sea of noise of the AI news cycle, we read research papers, discuss about LLMs and about other AI/ML engineering topics.
Some of our past discussions include:
MCP Workshop: we focused the entire event on learning how MCP works and showing demos.
DeepSeek Study Group, we read the R1 and V3 papers and went into the rabbit hole of reasoners and show how to install DeepSeek.
SOTA RAG: integrating search and retrieval mechanisms like HyDE with LLMs for enhanced knowledge retrieval in real-time applications.
