/ About this event
While everyone else is burning tokens and waiting on round-trips to the cloud, your app could be running instantly, offline, and dirt cheap per inference. The teams solving latency, cost, and privacy at the source are the ones pulling ahead — build faster, ship cheaper, stay local.
Join femtoAI for a Developer Happy Hour in San Francisco. We'll kick off with a developer meet-up to connect with founders, engineers, and investors building the next generation of on-device AI — then settle in for a discussion around what it actually takes to build local-first, and how it can be your key advantage.
Developer Meet Up: Grab a drink and bite; connect with developers, engineers, and product innovators shaping the future of local computing.
Topics include: -Model compression — getting frontier-level performance into a fraction of the footprint -Why local computing is a competitive edge, not just a technical one -What femtoAI’s developer platform unlocks for cost-per-inference and latency -Real-world tradeoffs: what to know before building on-device
Speakers: 🎙️ Sam Fok, Founder & CEO, femtoAI 🎙️ Bill Hoppin, Chief Business Officer, femtoAI 🎙️ More speakers to be announced
After the talks, hang out while we give a sneak peek of our newly updated developer program and meet others pushing the limits of what’s possible with local AI.
This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
