Causal World Model Happy Hour @CVPR | Aether AI
Aether AI is hosting a small (~30p), closed-door happy hour near the CVPR venue — food, drinks, and the kind of unhurried conversation about world models, causality, embodied AI, and the decision brain of Physical AI that doesn't happen on the show floor.
About the Happy Hour
This is a invitation-only evening. We're hand-inviting a group of researchers and engineers whose work we follow — and we've opened a limited number of additional seats to apply for here.
Because the room is intentionally small, every RSVP is reviewed. If you're approved, you'll get the exact location by email.
Who this is for
People who think about world models, causality, embodied AI, and the decision brain of Physical AI etc. — and would rather have one real conversation over a drink than collect ten business cards.
What we're building
Aether AI is building causal world models — a new class of AI systems that understand mechanisms, reason under intervention, and operate reliably in real-world systems. We believe the next leap in AI won't come from simply scaling up to ever-larger models, but from paradigm-level innovation.
