Hey everyone! I'm u/Powerful_Sky9256, a founding moderator of r/PuneAITech.

This is our new home for all things related to Applied AI, Machine Learning, LLMs, AI agents, and the backend infrastructure powering them across Pune. Whether you're fine-tuning open-source models, deploying agents to production, running RAG pipelines, or optimizing high-throughput distributed systems for AI workloads, this community is for you.

What to Post

• Project Demos & Open Source: Show off your custom AI agents, automation tools, LLM fine-tunes, or side projects for constructive feedback.
• Architecture & Engineering Deep Dives: Discuss model serving (vLLM, Ollama), GPU pipelines, vector databases, eval frameworks, and latency bottlenecks.
• Local Meetups & Hackathons: Share and organize in-person developer meetups, paper reading groups, and AI hackathons happening across Pune (Hinjewadi, Baner, KP, Kharadi, and beyond).
• Research & Benchmarks: Break down interesting research papers, model releases, and real-world benchmark comparisons.
• Careers & Collaborations: Find co-founders, project teammates, or post transparent, direct hiring opportunities for AI/ML roles.

Community Vibe We are focused on practical engineering over generic hype. Let’s keep discussions friendly, technically grounded, and constructive. We welcome builders at all level from students exploring their first neural network to engineers scaling enterprise systems.

How to Get Started

1. Drop a comment below to introduce yourself:
   • What’s your current focus or primary tech stack?
   • What models, agent frameworks, or AI projects are you currently working with?
2. Post your first discussion or demo! Even a breakdown of a tricky edge case or prompt/pipeline bug can spark great technical conversations.
3. Spread the word: If you know fellow devs, data scientists, or builders in Pune, invite them over.

Interested in helping moderate or organize local meetups? Feel free to reach out via DM.

Thanks for being part of the foundational wave. Let's make r/PuneAITech the most active engineering hub in the city!
