AboutIn the host's words.

Two days of keynotes, panels, and deep dives into LLM serving have sparked a lot of great conversations. Let’s keep them going, up on the rooftop and over matcha.

Rooftop Mixer for Founders & Researchers is a community gathering at SGLang Summit, hosted by Walnut AI as an SGLang community partner. It’s a laid-back Saturday afternoon where the founders and researchers shaping how AI gets built and served can slow down, sip some matcha, and actually talk. Whether you’re pushing the limits of LLM systems, scaling inference in production, or building AI-native products on top of open models, this rooftop is for you.

Why comeThe summit brings together some of the best minds in AI infra. This mixer is about turning those sessions into deeper connections. Before you arrive, your AI agent will have found the attendees you’ll click with most, so you can pick up right where the talks left off.

How the matching works

  • Register and opt in. Add your LinkedIn profile, who you want to meet, and a few other details when signing up, and answer “Yes” to Agents Meet matching.

  • Agents find your matches. Walnut AI creates a digital twin for you on the Walnut AI platform, and AI agents match you only with other attendees who opted in to Agents Meet for this event.

  • Get your matches. Matches arrive by email the day before the event, each with a reason why you should meet.

  • Reach out and meet. Connect with your matches ahead of time, then meet in person over matcha.

Who you’ll meet

  • Researchers working on LLM systems, serving, and RL

  • Inference and infra engineers from open-source and frontier labs

  • Founders building AI-native products and agents

  • Investors and operators backing AI infra and AI-native startups

  • 6:00 PM: Doors open, grab a matcha, and find your matches

  • 6:30 PM: Quick welcome

  • 6:40 PM: Open mingling on the rooftop
