🎉 Join us at our Friday Launch Party for an evening of AI talks from other builders! [(RSVP here)](https://jan-launch-party.eventbrite.sg/) 🎉

## Ho Chi Minh City

[Jan's Hacker House](https://jan.ai) is a 4-day event where we host an open AI Hacker House and invite the local AI community to join us. There is fast wifi, free snacks, drinks and pizza.

We also host a series of talks, workshops and social events at night. We usually start off the week with a "Intro to LLMs" that targets local university students, and then progress to more in-depth technical and research areas.

Jan is a fully remote team. We use the money we save from not having an office, to hold Hack Weeks where we meet in a city, eat pizza and work to ship major releases.
