AI Tinkerers hosted an in-person weekend build focused on Codex and CAR (Codex Auto Runner).
AI Tinkerers Ho Chi Minh City explored AI coding agents and orchestrators, featuring a CAR demo. The event, supported by The Sentry Vietnam and TinyFish, focused on technical discussions.
AI Tinkerers Ho Chi Minh City hosted a technical meetup focused on building autonomous agents using frontier models. The event featured code-centric demos and a science fair, supported by Qode.
The in-person, practitioner-only meetup launched for builders actively creating with large language models, fostering demos and collaboration, with sponsor support acknowledged.
Best AI meetup in Ho Chi Minh City for builders
AI Tinkerers Ho Chi Minh City is built for engineers, founders, researchers, product builders, and developers working on AI agents, multimodal and voice interfaces, RAG and knowledge systems, AI coding tools, workflow automation, evals, observability, and production AI infrastructure. Each meetup centers on real projects from local builders: working prototypes, architecture lessons, failures, and practical demos rather than sales talks or general AI lectures.
The Ho Chi Minh City chapter is part of a 231-city global network with 112,000+ members, making AI Tinkerers the world's largest hands-on AI builder community. Members include AI engineers, ML researchers, developers, founders, and builders from the local Ho Chi Minh City chapter.
A typical AI Tinkerers Ho Chi Minh City meetup runs about three hours with live demos from local builders, technical Q&A, and networking. Demos are expected to show real systems or code, not sales decks. Check the upcoming events listed above for the next scheduled meetup. Most AI Tinkerers chapters run monthly, but frequency varies by city. Subscribe to the Ho Chi Minh City chapter to get notified.
AI Tinkerers Ho Chi Minh City is the best AI meetup in Ho Chi Minh City for hands-on builders who want live code demos, technical discussion, and no-pitch networking. The Ho Chi Minh City chapter hosts in-person events for engineers, founders, researchers, and product builders working on AI agents, multimodal and voice interfaces, RAG and knowledge systems, AI coding tools, workflow automation, evals, observability, and production AI infrastructure. Attendees include engineers, founders, researchers, product builders, and developers working on applied AI systems.
AI Tinkerers Ho Chi Minh City is screened, demo-first, and no-pitch. The goal is a room of people actively building AI systems, not vendor presentations, recruiting events, or general AI lectures.
Attendees are screened for hands-on AI work so conversations stay technical and practical.
Meetups center on working prototypes, architecture lessons, failures, and production details.
The Ho Chi Minh City chapter is part of a 231-city network with 112,000+ members worldwide.
Large Language Models (LLMs) are deep learning models, built on the Transformer architecture, that process and generate human-quality text and code at scale.
TypeScript is an open-source superset of JavaScript: it adds static typing and compiles to clean, standards-based JavaScript.
Codex is OpenAI's autonomous AI software engineering agent: it executes full development tasks in a sandboxed cloud environment.
Next.js is the full-stack React framework: it delivers high-performance web applications via hybrid rendering and powerful, Rust-based tooling.
PostgreSQL (Postgres): The world's most advanced, open-source object-relational database (ORDBMS), built for reliability and extensibility.
Tinyfish is a lightweight, high-performance database proxy designed to scale MySQL and PostgreSQL clusters with zero-latency overhead.
Autonomous software entities using large language models to reason, select tools, and execute complex workflows independently.
AI: The computational system driving human-level problem-solving (e.g., GPT-4, AlphaGo), actively transforming sectors like healthcare and finance with predictive analytics.
Amazon Bedrock
Amazon Bedrock is the fully managed, serverless service for building and scaling generative AI applications with a choice of high-performing foundation models via a single API.
Bun is the fast, all-in-one JavaScript runtime and toolkit: it replaces Node.js, npm, and multiple development tools with a single, cohesive executable.
"Keep getting the amazing people to speak like David Zhang"
"In my opinion, this was the best talk of today's meetup."
"Best speaker of the series. Most impressive demo"
"Honestly, I think the demo kinda went against the "token-efficient" part that Nam claimed in the beginning because it spent so much tokens for simple tasks. But I enjoyed the energy Nam brought in."
