Touch Grass Later is a recurring gathering for people who want to nerd out over research papers in AI.

Every session, we pick 1–2 papers from the AI frontier and work through them together. No lectures, no slides. Just a room of people stress-testing ideas against each other.

Who it's for: Engineers, researchers, and technical founders who want to stay sharp on what's actually moving the field — not just the Twitter takes.

Format: One person leads a 15-min walkthrough of the paper. Then we go long on questions, implications, and what it means for what we're building.The theme of this session will be on how to build agent harnesses that improve themselves.You don't need to have read them cover to cover. Skimming the abstract and intro of each is enough to get you into the discussion.

This event is supported by Shortcut Asia, a custom software development company.
