AI Builders and Learners - Seattle

August's book is "Build a Reasoning Model (From Scratch)"! This is a casual-style event. Not a structured presentation on topics. Sometimes, the discussion even drifts away from the chapters, but feel free to grab the mic to help steer it back. Feel free to join the discussion even if you have not read the book chapters! :) Want to discuss the contents during the reading week?

The book tells a clear engineering story: start with a conventional pre-trained LLM, learn how text generation works, build reliable evaluation tools, improve reasoning through inference-time methods, then move into training-based approaches such as reinforcement learning and distillation. The progression is deliberate. Early chapters establish the baseline model and explain text generation, KV caching, and evaluation with math verifiers. The middle chapters show how reasoning can be improved without changing model weights, using chain-of-thought prompting, sampli

AI Automation for Working Professionals: Advanced

EventIn person
18:00
Western Sydney Startup Hub - Spacecubed, North Parramatta, Australia
Western Sydney Tech Innovators

Single-task AI is useful. Multi-agent AI is transformative. Tonight you'll build systems where Claude orchestrates a team of specialised subagents, each handling a part of a complex job simultaneously, while you watch it happen. Then you'll wire those agents into automated routines that run on a schedule, silently, without your input. This is the session where the full capability of what you've been building becomes visible. What You'll Do Assign a complex, multi-part job to a team of subagents working simultaneously, done in an evening instead of days. Build background automations for the tasks you'd rather never touch again, so they just happen. Chain skills, tools, and scheduling into one self-sustaining routine: set it once, forget it. Leave with a clear picture of what's possible, and a working prototype to prove it. What You'll Learn Break a larger job into steps an AI assistant can handle. Use subagents and structured workflows. Assign a complex, multi-part job to a team of AI agents. Build small automations for tasks you do often. Combine skills, tools and scheduling into practical routines. Spot where agentic AI can save serious time in your work. Understand how to move from single prompts to multi-step AI systems. You'll Walk Out With A clearer understanding of AI agents and delegation. A working example of a multi-step AI workflow. Ideas for applying AI to your job, business or side project. An assistant concept that can run whole jobs, not just answer questions. A stronger sense of what to build next. Who This Is For Professionals ready to use AI beyond simple prompts. Founders and operators who want to automate parts of their workflow. Freelancers and consultants who want to build smarter delivery systems. People who want AI to manage repeatable jobs while they focus on higher-value work. Anyone with intermediate Claude Code or AI experience who wants to go deeper. Earlier nights are recommended, but not mandatory. If you a

關於彩虹小聚的「精選Q&A」

 Q:我能參加彩虹小聚嗎? A:有些朋友會好奇,為什麼要叫做彩虹小聚?難道參與者是有限定身分的嗎? 其實前陣子,我在發小聚邀約的時候,曾被果斷拒絕過,對方表示「彩虹一族」的聚會不適合他。不過,彩虹小聚其實歡迎所有的人。不管你是誰、什麼樣的族群、哪種性別、是不是直男直女、有沒有出櫃,只要有一顆友善的心,都可以放心來參加! Q:彩虹小聚的理念? A: Diversity(多元)、Equity(平等)、Inclusion(包容)and Belonging(歸屬感)合稱 DEIB,是 WordPress 社群重要的核心精神。當初三位發起人 Eric Huanyi Chuang、捲毛 Qmoa Liu 和高高,後來又有性別友善的哲北與安誼加入,因為大家剛好都關注性別平等、LGBTQ 議題,或從事相關工作,所以我們希望創造一個安心、自在的小聚氛圍,包括超級新手友善,並讓大家能自由分享 WordPress 之旅 or 個人生命小故事。 Q:彩虹小聚只會講「彩虹」的內容嗎? A:當然沒有囉!我們第一次的彩虹小聚,我們有 2 個長講和 3 個短講,主題涵蓋了如何參與 WP 社群、WP 與 NGO 工作、資安的重要、部落格小技巧和頁面編輯器小技巧等等,其實非常多元!


Q:彩虹小聚能為參與者帶來什麼實際價值? A: 彩虹小聚不僅是一個交流與分享的平台,我們更希望為彩虹圈的朋友提供一個訓練和啟發的機會,幫助他們探索個人品牌與創業的可能性。我們相信,每個人都擁有獨特的故事與才能,值得被看見與放大。在這裡,你可以: 學習如何運用 WordPress 建立專屬網站,為自己的品牌或事業打下堅實基礎。 獲得資源與建議,幫助你將熱情轉化為行動,找到生活的目標與動力。 與志同道合的夥伴交流,分享經驗、互相支持,一起為未來創造更多可能性! 彩虹小聚的初心,是希望每位參與者都能在這裡找到屬於自己的歸屬感與發展方向,無論是建立個人品牌、投入新事業,還是單純收穫一份友善與快樂。歡迎有夢想、有行動力的你加入我們!
