Ask an AI Expert: Founder Edition
Got a product idea, a research question, or something you're building, but want to know if it actually holds up? This is your chance to sit down directly with experienced AI researchers and engineers and ask them anything. Honest, technical conversations with people who've built and researched the things you're trying to figure out. How it works: A small group of founding teams join for the evening — teams are preferred, though strong individual applicants are also welcome you'll rotate through expert tables — each staffed by a researcher and an engineer — for focused, one-on-one conversations Ask about feasibility, technical approach, research direction, or anything you're stuck on Whether you have a fully formed idea or just a strong pull toward becoming a founder and a specific problem you want to dig into, this is built for you. Apply as a team where possible. Snacks provided.

European AI Summer Research Program
Submit your AI research. Get it read across Europe. The European AI Summer Research Program is a pan-European research initiative for AI researchers, running across multiple universities and student communities under the EuroTech network. If you're working on a serious technical question in AI, machine learning, or optimisation for ML, this is your chance to get it in front of researchers and practitioners beyond your own university, lab, or country. Who can apply Undergraduate, Master's, and PhD researchers, solo or in a team.

Research Talks: Introduction to Superintelligence Alignment
Most AI safety research today, such as the work from Anthropic, OpenAI and others that our reading group usually covers, focuses on empirical methods applied to the current frontier, hoping the resulting understanding also applies to future systems. But alignment likely has to work on the first try with systems that may be qualitatively different. An alternative approach starts with the properties we want future systems to have and breaks these into fundamental questions about agency, reasoning, self-modification or optimisation. In our next research talks, Ouro, an AI safety researcher working with Orthogonal and co-organising the AFFINE theoretical alignment seminar, will discuss the properties of superintelligence, overlooked alignment perspectives, evaluate present approaches, and introduce mental models for reasoning about alignment at the limit of capability.

Talk
Failup Ventures: AI founders. Sauna. Sea.
Two hours. Ten founders. One very hot room. The day after YC Night in Helsinki, we’re bringing AI and deep-tech founders together at Löyly for sauna, sea, and honest conversations. No program. No panels. No pitch decks steaming up the room. Just founders, builders, researchers, hot sauna, cold Baltic water, and the kind of conversations that are better without a LinkedIn post attached. Building something technically difficult? Thinking about YC? Still processing last night’s hot takes? Come sweat it out. Bring a swimsuit. Bring your ambition. Leave the deck at home. Towels, lockers, showers, shampoo, and access to the sea are included. PS: The sea dip is optional. Hosted by Failup Ventures

LLMs and Alignment. Research Talks: Dr. Shantipriya Parida
The Research Talks by LLMs and Alignment continue. At our third event, Dr. Shantipriya Parida will present his research: LLMs for All: Building Inclusive Models for Low-Resource Languages In a world of approximately 7,000 languages, the benefits of Large Language Models (LLMs) remain concentrated on a small subset, leaving most low- and ultra-low-resource languages underserved. Even for many of these languages, LLM performance is constrained by data scarcity, limited tooling, and insufficient technological support. This talk addresses a central question: how can we design AI systems that truly serve all languages? The talk addresses the challenges and end-to-end process of building Large Language Models (LLMs) for low- and ultra-low-resource languages. We explore this problem through two representative case studies: Odia (an Indic language) as a low-resource language and Sámi (an Uralic language) as an ultra-low-resource language. Drawing from these examples, we discuss practical approaches such as multilingual pretraining, transfer learning, tokenization strategies, and community-driven data development. The talk highlights key technical and practical challenges, design decisions, and lessons learned in building inclusive language technologies. We conclude with a vision for scalable and equitable AI that extends the benefits of LLMs to all language communities.

Catastrophic Risks from AI
Vili Kohonen, Technical Expert at Tutke, the Finnish Center for Safe AI, will talk about the most severe risks posed by increasingly capable AI systems, from misuse to misalignment. The talk surveys current thinking on existential and catastrophic risks, the empirical evidence behind them, and what is being done to mitigate them. Mia Hopman, Member of Technical Staff at Apollo Research, will then discuss the concept of scheming in AI agents, introducing how it manifests in today's models, what current detection and mitigation approaches look like, and the open challenges and directions for future work.

Vibe & Verify - Capture the Flag
A practical continuation of the LLMs and Alignment reading club's sessions, AaltoAI presents its second Vibe&Verify Research Sprint—an event series where participants come together to replicate and expand on LLM research. Description: While reading an article, the focus is typically on high-level topics. However, familiarizing oneself with the internal dynamics of a language model is a great way to build intuition. Next time in the Vibe & Verify series, we will be taking a qualitative look into LLMs through mechanistic interpretability tooling, in the shape of Capture the Flag-styled puzzles.

LLMs and Alignment. Research Talks: Francesco Croce
At the second event in the “Research Talks” series by LLMs and Alignment, Professor Francesco Croce will present his research on Multimodal Chain-Of-Thought Reasoning Generalization. Description of the talk: Integrating reasoning in large language models and large vision-language models has recently led to significant improvement of their capabilities. However, the generalization of reasoning models is still vaguely defined and poorly understood. In this work, we present an evaluation framework to rigorously examine how well chain-of-thought (CoT) approaches generalize on a simple planning task. The versatility of the task and its data allows us to fine-tune model variants using different input representations (visual and textual) and CoT reasoning strategies, and systematically evaluate them under both in-distribution (ID) and out-of-distribution (OOD) test conditions. Our experiments show that, while CoT reasoning improves in-distribution generalization across all representations, out-of-distribution generalization remains very limited in most cases when controlling for trivial matches with the ID data. Surprisingly, we find that reasoning traces which combine multiple text formats yield the best (and non-trivial) OOD generalization.

LLMs and Alignment. Research talks: Eric Malmi
LLMs and Alignment is launching a new series of recurring events—“Research Talks”—featuring invited speakers. At our first event, Professor Eric Malmi will present his research: Test-time scaling for mastering board games with LLMs. Test-time scaling is increasingly recognised as an effective paradigm for enhancing the capabilities of large language models (LLMs). This talk describes an ICML 2025 paper from Professor Eric Malmi’s team that introduces and contrasts two test-time search strategies for board games (Chess, Chess960, Connect Four, and Hex). In the external-search approach, an LLM steers Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) rollouts and evaluations without relying on an external game engine. In the internal-search approach, the model is trained to generate, in context, a linearised search tree and then produce a final move selection. Together, these methods demonstrate strong test-time scaling, culminating in state-of-the-art chess performance among LLM-based systems.
