What is AI Tinkerers?

Weโ€™re engineers actively building and working with foundation models, such as large language models (LLMs) and generative AI.

(Photo) A man is giving a presentation to an audience in a room. The presentation is displayed on a large screen behind him. Text: Top components * Components: building blocks enabling you to compose reusable interfaces. * Composition: building interfaces by combining components. * State: components can maintain internal state, enabling interactivity. * Props: components can receive data from parent components. * Declarative rendering: React automatically updates the right places when your data changes. Make up from them yet? React lets you compose complex UIs from small and isolated pieces of code called "components". React has a couple of different kinds of components, but we'll start with React components: these are plain Javascript functions. You can think of them as HTML-like elements that you can write yourself. They're similar to Javascript functions, but they work in isolation and return markup. React components are reusable, which means you can use them to build other components.

There's also a presentation screen, but the overall image is a photo of the event.

(Logo) A logo featuring the word "portia" in a modern, sans-serif font, accompanied by a stylized sun or light source icon. The text and icon are rendered in white/light gray with a subtle dark outline, set against a solid black background. Text: portia Colors: #000000, #FFFFFF, #E0E0E0 Note: The image clearly displays a brand name alongside a distinct graphic element, designed for identification and branding purposes, which are the primary characteristics of a logo.

Portia empowers developers to build predictable and controllable AI agents with authenticated tool access. Their open-source SDK enables structured multi-agent planning, seamless execution management, and secure user authentication for accessing third-party software, while their cloud offering simplifies deployment at scale.

(Logo) The image displays a stylized, italicized lowercase letter 'i' in white, set against a solid black background. It appears as a simple, distinct graphic element. Text: i Colors: #FFFFFF, #000000 Note: The image features a single, highly stylized letter 'i' presented as a distinct graphic element. This design is characteristic of a minimalist logo or an icon, intended for quick recognition.
