​Welcome to the very first Decoding Tech meetup.

​Decoding Tech is a community for students, developers, founders, and curious builders exploring AI and emerging technologies. Through workshops, founder talks, podcasts, and networking events, our goal is simple:

​Learn together. Build together. Grow together.

​For our first session, we'll explore one of the most important technologies shaping the future: Large Language Models (LLMs).

​Whether you've only used ChatGPT a few times or you're already building with AI, this workshop will help you understand how modern LLMs work and how to use them effectively for studying, software development, research, and everyday productivity.
