A student-focused talk introducing machine learning compilers, run by the Waterloo OpenAI Campus Leads with WAT.ai. Vijay Goyal covers why compilers exist and how they help large language models run faster, starting from the basics before moving into more technical material and worked examples. No prior compiler knowledge is assumed, and the session is pitched at both technical and non-technical students. A follow-on Studio Hour offers one-to-one help applying OpenAI tools to attendees' own projects; check-in and check-out are required for the ChatGPT subscription offer and a book giveaway.
