View event on Luma ↗Cerebras presents Cafe Compute Meetup: Santiago, hosted by Cerebras Ambassador Luis Felipe Abarca. A welcoming space to share ideas, good food and projects with other people building with AI.
Bring your laptop and charger. Come with a project, a question or a willingness to learn.
Entry requires an approved Luma registration. Have your ticket QR code ready. Check Luma for your registration status and any event updates.
A space for people building with AI
Cafe Compute brings together people who want to code, share ideas and collaborate in a welcoming setting. Whether you are exploring AI or already working on a project, use the meetup to meet others and build alongside them.
What to expect
The public invitation promises good food, community and space to code and build. Luma does not publish a session-by-session agenda or a talk lineup: check it for updates rather than assuming additional times.
CAFE COMPUTE / SANTIAGO
Before you arrive
Your equipment
Luma asks you to bring your laptop. We also recommend a charger, a code editor and a small idea to try.
Your account
To complete Luma registration, you need a Cerebras Cloud account and your Org ID from Settings. Submit the Org ID only through the Luma form, never your API key. Exploring the playground is optional.
Your ticket
Registration requires approval. Capacity is limited; check that your request is approved and have your ticket QR code ready.
02 / Start building
The meetup ends. The ideas keep going.
Keep this page handy: official links and a first API call to help you keep building after the meetup.
Your first API key
Open Cerebras Cloud
Create an account or sign in at cloud.cerebras.ai. Registration and key management happen there, never on this page. Current Cerebras documentation says the standard self-service trial requires a verified payment method to activate API and playground access. This does not establish the terms of any access arranged by the event sponsor. Review your current account terms and ask the organizers if you expect that access; purchasing credits is not required for Luma registration.
Create your key
In the Cerebras Cloud dashboard, open API Keys and create a key. Store it privately; never share it in chats, screenshots or repositories.
Try it in your terminal
On macOS or Linux with Bash, run the example. The first command asks for your key without displaying it; paste it and press Enter. Never use a key in browser code.
read -rsp "CEREBRAS_API_KEY: " CEREBRAS_API_KEY; printf '\n'
export CEREBRAS_API_KEY
curl --fail-with-body https://api.cerebras.ai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $CEREBRAS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "qwen-3.8-27b",
"messages": [
{"role": "user", "content": "Suggest one small AI project for a community meetup."}
],
"reasoning_effort": "none",
"max_completion_tokens": 1024
}'
unset CEREBRAS_API_KEYKeys belong in your terminal or server only. This website does not call the API or receive your key.
This example uses qwen-3.8-27b, listed in the public model catalog. Availability, limits and pricing can change: check your account and the documentation.
Something went wrong?
401: check your key and environment variable. 404: check the model ID and your account access. 429: wait and review your limits before retrying.
After your first response
Try one capability at a time: show tokens as they arrive, connect a tool or return JSON with a defined structure. These are learning resources, not a workshop agenda.
Practical questions
Does requesting to join guarantee entry?
No. Luma requires organizer approval. Check your status in Luma before travelling; the QR belongs to your approved ticket.
Do I need a finished project?
The invitation is to code, collaborate and build. We recommend bringing a question or a small idea; you do not need to prepare a demo to use these resources.
Is free compute available?
Luma invites you to explore free compute at Cerebras.ai. The current catalog offers models subject to free-trial limits and terms. Check your account: this page guarantees neither a credit amount nor unlimited access. Current Cerebras documentation says the standard self-service trial requires a verified payment method to activate API and playground access. This does not establish the terms of any access arranged by the event sponsor. Review your current account terms and ask the organizers if you expect that access; purchasing credits is not required for Luma registration.
Which model should I start with?
The example uses qwen-3.8-27b, verified in the current Cerebras catalog. Luma still mentions GLM 4.7; for code, always use current identifiers from the documentation.
What if I use Windows?
This page’s example requires Bash. Use WSL or follow the Windows instructions in the official quickstart. To try without a terminal, open the Cerebras Cloud playground.
How do I ask about the venue or accessibility?
The published venue is Hotel Fundador, Serrano 34, 8330098 Santiago, Región Metropolitana, Chile. For access requirements or other questions, email contact@arca.computer before attending.
