​Who Killed the Build? 💀

​A Halloween Meetup for AI Builders & DevTools Murder Mystery with Flox

​The build is dead. The cause? Unknown.

​Join AI Valley and Flox for a Halloween meetup for AI builders, developers, and founders, featuring speakers from Flox, Runpod, Resolve AI, and FriendliAI. Expect talks, demos, an interactive debugging mystery, and a chance to meet others in the AI engineering community.

​Building AI applications depends on more than the model. The software environments, dependencies, and developer tools around it need to work, too. This evening puts those foundations under the magnifying glass—with a Halloween twist.

​Flox will take us through an interactive investigation of a broken development environment. You’ll uncover suspicious dependencies, environment issues, and other clues before making your final guess: who (or what) killed the build?

​Flox is a developer tool that creates reproducible, hash-pinned software environments across laptops, CI pipelines, and production. It eliminates environment drift by using a single configuration file to lock exact software versions everywhere. Flox is powered by the Nix package manager, but simplifies the experience so users do not have to write Nix code directly.

​AI Valley is a community rooted in supporting exceptional first generation builders, founders, and creators. We curate environments where ambitious people meet collaborators, mentors, and opportunities through hackathons, workshops, and intimate gatherings across AI, tech, and the arts. If you care about who you build with as much as what you build, this is your place.
