Lossfunk is a research lab based in Bangalore, India, focused on exploring general intelligence in all its glory. This research showcase brings together Lossfunk researchers to present their ongoing projects, offering a curated evening for those working across the wide spectrum of frontier intelligence science.

Who Should Attend

Researchers and practitioners in AI, machine learning, and cognitive science
Founders, builders, and operators interested in cutting-edge AI research
Anyone curious about the future of intelligence, consciousness, and transhumanism

Agenda Highlights

Sushrut Thorat will trace Lossfunk's research journey since inception, share where the lab is headed, and conclude with a glimpse into an esoteric project exploring the nature of consciousness.
Sukanth K will introduce his fascinations with transhumanism, tracing his early work on cognitive augmentation using AI and smart glasses and his deeper shift into sensory augmentation—exploring whether AI can become a new sense. He will also outline the role transhumanism plays in a post-Singularity world and how his current research at Lossfunk contributes to that future.
Dhruv Trehan and Abhinav Kumar will share findings from their work on LLMs for Science, including documenting why LLMs are not scientists yet, measuring research taste, studying attractors in autoresearch systems, using evolutionary search such as AlphaEvolve to discover RL interfaces, and building an agentic research mentor. Together, these projects reveal both the potential of LLMs in research and the biases and failure modes that shape how they explore, judge, and conduct science.
Ayush Nangia will talk about his work on context compaction in agents. Every agent that runs long enough has to compress its own memory, and almost everyone judges that compression by how much information survived it. But he thinks that is the wrong question, and he is measuring a different one: whether the agent still does the same thing after you compress its history.

Event Context This event is part of Basecamp, a community-powered tech week in Bengaluru bringing founders, builders, and operators together. Basecamp is free for the community and powered by the community. Lossfunk is a research lab based in Bangalore, India, focused on exploring general intelligence in all its glory.

Registration Spots are limited, so early registration is encouraged. Join us for an evening of deep insights and networking with fellow researchers.
