Coffee meets AI: How Open Source boosts AI products?

​Coffee meets AI is an easygoing afternoon in Singapore for founders, builders, and curious minds who want to talk about how open source is shaping real AI products ☕🤖

​Speakers:

• ​Lauren Ye: Spotify (Aleph) Client Partner Lead, China Export

• ​Hong Chen: Founder of MemU, Ex-Bytedance

• ​Siyuan Liu: Founder of Revor.ai, Ex-DiDi & Ex-Baidu

• ​Xinghan Wu (Albert): Founder of IGNITE MEDIA TECH

​Expect honest conversations about what it actually takes to build with open models, open tooling, and fast-moving ecosystems, from early product decisions to scaling what works. If you are figuring out where open source gives you leverage, where it creates complexity, and how to turn experimentation into something users love, you will have plenty to dig into.

​We will get into the practical side of building, including speed to market, model flexibility, infra choices, cost tradeoffs, and how open source can influence product strategy. Founders will find plenty to think about around differentiation, defensibility, and shipping quickly without getting boxed in by a single vendor. Builders can expect conversations around workflows, stack decisions, and the small technical choices that quietly shape product outcomes over time.

​Come by for coffee, sharp ideas, and relaxed conversations with people actively building in AI 🚀 Whether you are validating a new product, improving an existing one, or just want better instincts on where open source fits into the picture, you will leave with useful perspectives and a few new angles to explore.
