We could use LLMs for good — or to create a conspiracy theory website inspired by the Call of Cthulhu universe! Help wanted to incorporate user interactions and create a suspenseful story (web development and advanced AI workflows).

Daily Insights by @an_klowait
Inspired by daily "cards" from a Mental Health Awareness marathon, this lightweight applet uses few-shot-prompted LLM calls to deliver quick 10-second mindfulness tips. Coded for fun over a weekend!

Distilling Pretrained LLMs Into Recommender Systems by @nikis14
Distillation pipeline that uses pretrained LLMs to improve accuracy of a recommender system without a fine-tuning overhead.
P.S. We're already preparing several new events for you — stay tuned!
