Although a small group, we were super hyped to visit Gather AI last Friday for our Proseminar session! CMU Carnival and other campus activities were happening, but we were happy to squeeze in a visit to their new facility to witness and learn about their awesome technology!
Shout out to Mary for helping to organize our visit, Gather co-founders Sankalp, Daniel and Geetesh and everyone who took the time to share!

Happy holidays from all of us at the Swartz Center! We enjoyed the Escape Room and lunch at Shorty's in Homestead, PA. Some of us cheated and came out of their escape room first...we're not naming anyone...but!! Wishing you all a joyous and prosperous season. See you in 2026! 🎄❄️☃️
