Our next dinner is at Chattahoochee Food Works — a food hall with plenty of options so everyone can eat what they like. Same format as always: small group, real conversation, no pitches. Our dinners are invite-only, so RSVP to request an invitation.

About Our Dinners

Our dinners are small and private to keep things intimate and conversations honest. No sponsors, no sales pitches, no ulterior motives. Just people who work in AI sitting down together and having a real meal.

Friends' Event
Building a Mini-Software Factory using Pi.dev and Local LLMs
Wednesday, July 22, 2026 · 6:00–8:00pm

Our friends at AI Ship & Social are hosting a talk from Pratik Patel on building autonomous software with pi.dev — an open-source, terminal-based agent harness — running entirely on local LLMs. He'll walk through configuring it with minimal tools to architect, generate, and test applications end-to-end. Networking from 6:00–6:45pm, the talk from 6:45–7:15pm, and informal discussion until 8pm. Free to attend — grab some food and drinks while you're there.
