    Thrilled to introduce Finetune - the easiest way to fine-tune AI agents. We believe there will be more agents than humans within the next decade, and we’re excited to contribute to making this a reality. Finetune allows organizations to deploy their agents into production with confidence. You can now create synthetic users to run against your agents instead of wasting hours of prompting! Free to use for the first week. Learn more: https://finetune.dev/

    Awesome kickoff to the Austin AI Community Hackathon last night! We hosted a team building session, recapped rules and prizes, and got pumped for a weekend of building. My favorite part was hearing from some of the Local AI Infrastructure companies we partnered with on the "Best Local Hack" prize. This prize will go to the best submission built on top of infrastructure from local AI startups. Participating companies include: 🧠 Memary - Julian Saks - Longterm memory and self learning for autonomous agents 🔊 Sindarin - Conversational Speech AI - Brian Atwood - Ultra-low latency human-like voice infra 📊 TensorStax - Aria Attar - Autonomous agents for data and MLOps tasks Really excited to see this come to life and it's been a pleasure for AITX to work with Austin AI Tinkerers. HUGE thanks to our sponsors Antler, Lambda, and Google Cloud, we could not execute this without their support. If you'd like to participate tomorrow but haven't signed up yet - shoot me a DM! Happy to open up registration to a couple more qualified hackers.

    Want to know what's happening in Austin's buzzing AI community? Here are 3 key things to know: 1) The AI revolution is transforming healthcare across Texas. The UT System, powered by $4 billion in research funding and the fastest academic supercomputer at UT Austin, is at the forefront of developing AI solutions to tackle our toughest health challenges. Cross-institution collaboration is critical for advancing AI-enabled tools and positioning Texas as an AI workforce leader. 2) Austin is taking the lead in responsible AI governance. The city established clear guidelines for employees using generative AI for city business. An advisory committee was formed to encourage collaboration, mitigate risks, and ensure transparency and accountability as AI usage scales. Over 300 employees have already been trained on the new AI standards. 3) Elon Musk is making waves in the AI chip market. Emails reveal he prioritized sending 12,000 H100 GPUs to his X and xAI ventures over Tesla, leading to delays and over $500M in missed shipments. This has raised questions about Musk's ability to balance his obligations to Tesla with his other attention-heavy ventures. The great chip redirection of 2023 will have ripple effects. The age of AI is upon us, and Austin is poised to play a leading role. By prioritizing responsible innovation, governance, and talent development, our city and state can harness AI's potential to solve major challenges and drive progress. The future is bright!
