What is AI Tinkerers?

We’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.

Testimonials 💬

“None that I could think of... Keep this going, please don't stop, haven't come across anything in London that quite meets this approach and wish for this to grow substantially. Events designed for Engineers connecting with Engineers is so absent in London's event landscape. Good job team!”
