The Toronto LLM Meetup Group - No More LLMs: Decision Models & Other Primitives
Welcome to the 8th session of the 4th edition of the Toronto LLM Meetup Group. We really appreciate the growing interest in our events and will continue to ensure equitable access for all participants.
We are sorry to have disappeared for some months due to busy schedules, but we are back! And this time, we’ll be exploring decision models and non-LLM primitives. To make this extra fair (or unfair), we will be using a decision model to approve/reject your request to attend. Bonus points if you've built your own Jev-like system and are willing to live benchmark it with us. 🖤
Special thanks to Gordon Gibson and Ada for providing the lovely event space in Silicon Alley and Hudson Labs for their support and resources.

👋 About Us
The Toronto LLM Meetup group is founded by Suhas Pai, CTO and Co-founder of Hudson Labs, and Lily Ren, Senior AI PM at Telus Health. The aim of this group is to facilitate deep dives into LLM research topics, harnessing the skills of Toronto's vibrant AI ecosystem and promoting intellectual rigor. To this end, for each session we assemble a team of top Toronto AI scientists and practitioners to conduct an in-depth study of an emerging topic that is expected to go mainstream 6 months from now. The team presents their findings along with jumping-off points for future research at a meetup session, held at Toronto's top AI companies. Eventually we aim to spawn off community open-source research projects this way.
📧 Mailing List
Thank you so much for your interest. We’re thrilled to see so many of you sign up for this event! We’ll be collecting emails to invite you to future editions of the meetup, but if you’d prefer not to be on the mailing list, just let us know.
