January 2026 Meetup

The January BangPypers meetup was a fantastic start to the new year, hosted at Cloudsek, where we had three insightful sessions covering Recursive Language Models, Causal Reasoning Engines, and a deep dive into Python’s GIL.

Jayita Bhattacharyya started the proceedings with her talk on Recursive Language Models. She explored how these models build upon themselves to achieve more complex reasoning and generation, showcasing their potential to tackle problems that are difficult for standard models.

Recursive Language Models

Soumya Ranjan Das presented the Causal Reasoning Engine. He introduced a framework for building systems that can understand cause and effect, moving beyond correlation to true causal inference. Soumya demonstrated how this is a critical step towards more robust and explainable AI.

Viraj Sharma then took the stage to unravel the mysteries of the Global Interpreter Lock in his talk, Unlocking Python’s GIL: Myth, Magic & Multicore. He demystified the GIL, explained its impact on concurrent programming in Python, and explored modern techniques to work around it for true multicore parallelism.

We also had two engaging lightning talks:

Abhishek Prasad delivered a lightning talk about Datastar, a lightweight frontend framework with native support for Server-Sent Events (SSE).

Archit Gupta presented a lightning talk on Cyber Security Basics, providing essential insights and practical tips for securing digital assets and understanding common threats.

Community Announcements

Looking ahead, we’re excited to collaborate with SciPy India for our SciPy India x Bangpyers Feb Meetup.

We are community partners for two upcoming events: PyConf Hyd 2026 happening on March 14-15, and the CloudxAI Conference on March 14.

A big thank you to all our speakers — Jayita, Soumya, Viraj, Abhishek, and Archit — as well as to our wonderful attendees and our venue partner Cloudsek for making this meetup a success. Stay tuned for more events and knowledge sharing in the months to come!
