AI Frontiers Dinner (Minneapolis) hosted by Bryel Labs (YC F26)
An intimate dinner in Minneapolis bringing together a small group of people building at the frontier of AI. Just good food and the conversations that usually happen in the hallway: how models see and understand the world, what’s actually working in RL and frontier post-training, and where the field goes next.
Hosted by Kevin Miao (@KJHMiao), co-founder of Bryel Labs (YC F26), who teaches AI at UC Berkeley and previously led post-training at Apple.
Bryel helps companies build their own in-house AI lab, with a focus on visual and perceptual intelligence: models that understand images, reason about space, and work with the visual information businesses depend on. We bring the science of training models to every team, building custom models that are cheaper, faster, and better at the things only your business understands. Our team has trained models at Apple, Framer, and Fortune 500 companies.
