About this Event


Build AI for Good

Use a next-generation AI system to create AI-powered UI/UX, AI Scientists that can plan experiments, run them, and learn from the results. New kinds of AI-powered social media feeds like Instagram are now possible—but with anything you want in the feed, and where the user is in the driver seat to tell the AI what they want to see.

​At Ai Developer Camp, hundreds of engineers, designers and entrepreneurs will gather to explore the frontiers of machine learning with the Gray Whale AI Platform. During our 48-hour idea competition, attendees will learn about the latest advancements in machine learning from the world's foremost experts in the field. Ai Developer Camp follows the tradition of past events, highlighting inclusion, diversity and empowerment in the developer community. Attendees are encouraged to develop native and web applications during this exciting, cooperative, hackathon-style event.We are thrilled to announce that Gray Whale, Product Genius and Berlinhouse will sponsor us in-person and online, to connect developers around the world.Now is the time to register if you plan to attend. Space online is not capped this year but only those who have registered in advance will be able to attend.

About the Event

Unique to our event is early access to the Gray Whale Platform. It is foundational AI that performs iterative experiments and abstracts principles for successful outcomes. It is unique — and years ahead of the market.

The Gray Whale Platform forces an underlying LLM to become more scientific, more iterative, faster, more compute efficient, and more reliable. This makes it possible to use an LLM to power all sorts of real-time UI/UX interactions and makes it possible to have an LLM learn from large-scale statistical data derived from scientific experiments that it performs and iterates.

One major way to use the platform is that many developers are already using the Genius Platform to make Instagram-like “learning feeds” for all kinds of different types of items and communities. Ideas for new feeds include:

  • ​Product marketplaces
  • ​Person to person matchmaking
  • ​Commercial real-estate property recommendations
  • ​Hotel room and tourist activity booking
  • ​Video, news or other content recommendations
  • ​Music recommendations for listening or practice
  • ​Artwork or craft recommendations
  • ​Social media post feeds
  • ​Job candidate suggestions or jobs listings
  • ​Stock recommendations
  • ​Startup company ideas
  • ​Work task suggestions or summaries
  • ​Robotics and biotech experiments

​Event schedule will include educational sessions on topics such as:

  • ​AI / ML
  • ​Software Engineering
  • ​Product Design
  • ​Security Engineering
  • ​Open Source Toolchains
  • ​Design Thinking
  • ​Apple Intelligence
  • ​Google Gemini

​Our event is open to developers and entrepreneurs with a range of experience and skills. We hope you will join us for this revolutionary experience.

Note: Ticket price includes six (6) full meals, plus snacks and non-alcoholic drinks throughout the weekend.
