What we’re about
The Brain Wave Collective is a member-owned community focused on learning, growth, and shared successes. We are pioneers who build with the latest AI & ML technologies, but you don't need to be a technologist to participate. All skills and backgrounds are necessary.
Join us to level up and build the future.
The Brain Wave Collective recently released Saddle Stack, an open source project that allows anyone to create novel video from your own existing videos. Join project authors for a demo and deep dive.
NOTE: This tools searches/combines existing video. This is not AI Generated video.
The framework features NVIDIA's AI Workbench for environment management, TwelveLabs for video understanding models, Jockey for agentic AI, and a React app with FastAPI backend for the UI. We will walk through literally everything from setting up cloud GPU to installing and running the server, app, and curating your own video.
The demo and presentation will be for a general audience, but if you want to roll up your sleeves with us there are a number of setup steps that you can do in advance. Going through the prerequisites before the meeting will allow us to workshop challenges and answer questions.

We might have a late start because we will be socializing before the demo. Arrive early to be sure you don't miss anything, and join us for happy hour to sample a variety of incredible non-alcoholic beers.

- PUBLIC BUILD - Yes Chef Robot Tech [Jan 29]Venture X Denver North, Denver, CO
This will not be of our typical build workshops.
Yes Chef! is a winning hackathon project inspired by HuggingFace's LeRobot library 🤗. I will be revisiting with the goal of creating another grumpy robot, and thought I would invite you to follow along.
This session will focus on the technical, not physical aspects of the robot. I already have an assembled SO-ARM100 and will install/configure the related wake word, visual understanding, real-time insult generation, and text-to-speech. Bring your laptop if you want to tinker.
Not familiar with Yes Chef? Watch our submission video on YouTube. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED our grumpy chef is foul mothed and full of insults.
We will start when doors lock at 6pm.
