## About

Get ready for a fun, nerdy evening all about on-device AI agents! 🚀
We're bringing together engineers and researchers to explore what it really takes to run powerful AI on tiny devices. We'll kick things off with food, drinks, and some spicy Socratic debates (can a 1B model really compete with a 70B model?! 👀), then dive into technical talks following the journey from Model → Compute → Benchmark. Expect deep technical discussions, big questions, plenty of memes, and zero boring corporate slides. And because the best conversations often happen after the talks, we'll wrap things up at a nearby bar! 🍻
Event Info: https://aisocratic.org/events/on-device-agents
Flow:  Model → Compute → Benchmark
Model: Efficient architectures. Open weights. Models designed for local, agentic workloads.

↓
Compute: NPUs, Qualcomm, and Apple silicon. Quantization, memory, and power. Making inference work on-device.
↓
Benchmark: Measure the deployed system. Quality, latency, and efficiency under real constraints.
