Constrained Autonomy: AI Models, Memory, and Retrieval at the Edge

​This session examines the practical engineering challenges of deploying AI to constrained physical systems and edge devices. By breaking down the on-device stack into models, memory, and retrieval, the event covers the economics of local LLM inference, the design of agentic memory harnesses for continuous state management, and the implementation of embedded vector search for offline autonomy. Designed for engineers working in robotics, applied ML, and embedded systems, the talks focus on building resilient agentic behavior that functions reliably without cloud dependencies.

AI in Life Sciences: Protein Representation and Autonomous Labs

This event explores the intersection of applied machine learning, computational biology, and wet-lab automation. The sessions will cover three critical layers of modern in silico research: representation learning for aligning molecules and proteins in a shared vector space, genome-scale language modeling capable of interpreting sequences over a 2-million base pair context window, and agentic platforms that synthesize fragmented scientific literature into actionable experimental layouts. Designed for researchers, engineers, and technical product managers in drug discovery and applied ML, this meetup will highlight current technical capabilities and address where physical wet-lab validation remains the core bottleneck.

Engineering self-improving AI systems

AI agents are now part of real systems. The hard part isn't building one—it's building everything around it: the workflows, boundaries, and infrastructure that decide what it can do, where it stops, and how it improves.

Vector Space Meetup: Retrieval in the Age of Agents with Qdrant, n8n, Cognee, deepset, LlamaIndex
