Fin de journée, on a bien bossé et bien mangé 🍜 Petit évent organisé par @AISocraticOrg dans le cadre de muShanghai. On build en // et l’énergie ici est vraiment cool :)

I've updated the AI blog post of May with a lot of news: aisocratic.org/blog/ai-socra…

Join us in Shanghai on the 25th at a hip coffee shop to talk about open source AI models and coding agents, with local and global engineers and founders working on frontier AI luma.com/ai-shanghai-2.0?v=3

Anissa and I are die hard New Yorkers, but Shanghai 上海 vibes are on another level... do what you can and come visit China 🇨🇳 it will shift your world view. We had an incredible AI Socratic event at the @AlibabaGroup HQ with 60 guests from local and global AI startups, tons of good discussions around Chinese open source models, the recent Trump - Xi meeting and its implications on AI (so far looks very positive for both countries), Dawkins Wolfram on AI consciousness, and we ended with the usual round of demos. Kudos to @themu_xyz team, @sunbh_eth, Sunny, @misspurple, and @isqueeniee for organizing #MuShanghai, a month long conference packed with events in AI/robotics/longevity/culture, world class Chinese companies, and over 500 guests from all over the world. Thank you for hosting us!!! Thanks to @saturn_cloud for sponsoring the @AISocraticOrg world tour and thanks to Alibaba Group for sharing the amazing venue. Our next event will be on May 25th with @DevSodhi. We'll invite engineers, researchers, and products leads from @Alibaba_Qwen, @Kimi_Moonshot, Z.ai GLM, @midjourney, @deepseek_ai, @Xiaomi, @UnitreeRobotics, @BYDCompany — and we'll focus on open source models, coding agents, harnesses, and research. Our vision is a Solarpunk world in which humans can flourish (China so far is the closest to this I've seen). Our mission is to decentralize AI and to push open source local AI models.

I'm in Shanghai for the full month. My mission is to push local open source models. I'd love to meet AI engineers and researchers from the local AI startups scene. @teortaxesTex @deepseek_ai @Kimi_Moonshot @Xiaomi @Alibaba_Qwen @Zai_org @Xiaomi

The first Lisbon AI Socratic 🇵🇹 happened yesterday, @paulofonseca and @alinalatinina are going to continue running it. After London, @rstagi_, Giacomo Nicoli, Anissa and I brought the @AISocraticOrg format to Lisbon. This time the event attracted a mix of software software engineers and founders from the Agentic AI hackathon, as well as creatives and founders. The topics were the same as the event we had in London just 3 days ago, with some web3 angles to it: aisocratic.org/blog/ai-socra… Presentations: - Alexander Temchenko shared his AI agents setup with Hermes to generate - Carlos Leon introduced us into the academic of Cyberpsychology - Alina Latinina showed us how she built her clothing brand using Lovable, GPT Image 2, and Claude Code - Andrey Oleksiuk showed how he manages his life with ChatGPT projects Big thank you to forestlabs.ai for hosting this and the future AI Socratic events, and a huge thank you to 🥇 @saturn_cloud for sponsoring food & drinks.

At Agents Days with @pcbo, great turnout of talents. I thought May first was a major holiday, but AI never sleeps! After this at 7pm @paulofonseca @rstagi_ Anissa and I will run the AI Socratic event.

Who's in Lisbon today? We're running our first @AISocraticOrg event in Portugal 🇵🇹 we'll discuss the latest in the AI ecosystem and maybe a thing or two about decentralized autonomous AI agents We'll have a very curated list of guests, and NOT goblin mode. #Lisbon #AI #Web3‌‌ #erc8004 #erc8183 #x402
