The first Wild AI San Francisco meetup was August 5, 2026 at Frontier Tower. Arsalan Zafar, a cofounder of Deep Render (acquired by InterDigital), walked through test-time training, including the equations and a recipe for improving models at test time. Joe Fioti (Luminal) spoke about pushing inference toward hardware limits with accelerated compilers, and Lukas Valine (Attentio) showed an IDE that visualizes transformer architectures in real time. Maanas Taneja was the MC and produced the night with Purab Shingvi.
