I LARP as an AI researcher

Doing things @65labslah

[kaspar @aimuggle]

Play with representation engineering from a free tier Colab notebook!

Inspired by @NeelNanda5's TransformerLens notebooks, @ivanleomk and I made a notebook to get up and running with @voooooogel's repeng library in just a few minutes with GPUs available on Colab's free tier.

@brianchew Get a bit more ram but don’t max it out. Can’t run models that are good enough and fast enough to make sense unless you’re working offline most of the time

[kaspar @aimuggle]

@ivanleomk You say this but have you tried green monster?

[agrim singh @agrimsingh]

I’m meeting more YC founders at @aiDotEngineer Singapore than in SF

[Stefania Druga @Stefania_druga]

Heading to Singapore 🇸🇬 to speak at @aiDotEngineer ! I'll be sharing how we're approaching sovereign AI at @SakanaAILabs toward culturally-aligned and sustainable models for Japan. Can't wait to see old friends & connect with the local builder community.

Thank you @SherryYanJiang & @swyx <3

[Jeremy @jeremysoojk]

in sg for aie, building agents/robots? let's meet

[agrim singh @agrimsingh]

Where in the world can you find a senior government leader with a personal AI stack published on GitHub?
How many would be willing to talk about it in a room full of builders?

Which is why we are so incredibly honoured to welcome Singapore’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, to the lineup of speakers for @aiDotEngineer Singapore.

A few weeks ago, Minister Balakrishnan casually dropped a technical writeup of his personal AI system online.

Raspberry Pi. Claude. Local embeddings. Knowledge graphs. A full architecture breakdown.

And the global AI community noticed because it reflected something bigger: a willingness to engage with these systems directly, publicly, and practically.

To kick off AIE Singapore, Minister Balakrishnan will share his experience experimenting with open-source AI tools and building a “second brain” workflow, alongside broader reflections on how AI may reshape global dynamics, and the way people work, think, and manage information.

In a role that demands navigating enormous volumes of information and constant context-switching, his reflections will set the tone for the conference in exactly the way we hoped:

That meaningful conversations about AI should not stay abstract.

They should involve understanding its parameters through practical engagement with the technology.

And that Singapore has become the place where that kind of engagement happens seriously.

[PicoCreator - AI builder @ ✈️🌉 @picocreator]

AI is concentrating, in a few countries, a few companies, a few chips.

Open-source AI is the only real check on that. And it only works if the infrastructure to run it actually exists.

Today, we're announcing our Series A, $20 M, to make this a reality.

[Gabriel Chua @gabrielchua]

Hi Singapore 🇸🇬, meet Codex 🩵

we are beyond stoked to have @ryolu_ head of design at @cursor_ai speaking at @aiDotEngineer singapore!

ryo is the mind behind so many of the interface decisions that make cursor feel like magic - and one of the most thoughtful voices in ai-native design right now.

before cursor, he was founding designer at notion, and held design roles at stripe and asana.

see you in a few weeks at https://t.co/13SQyOwilT
