Generative Media TLV returned on June 15 for a second edition, hosted at the Nebius offices in Tel Aviv. The meetup brought together researchers, engineers, founders, and builders working across video, image, multimodal AI, physical AI, and world models.

The goal stayed the same: a research-driven evening for the people actually building generative media systems, with technical talks, and direct conversation.

Talk lineup

The second edition brought together a broad set of generative media perspectives, spanning model optimization, continuous control, driving world models, and multimodal agents at scale.

Tomer Avlakosh, Regional Sales Lead at Nebius, opened with The Ultimate AI Cloud.

The rest of the evening featured:

Decart Optimization Stack - Orian Leitersdorf | Chief Scientist & Co-Founder @ Decart
Beyond Text: Continuous Control in Generative Models - Or Patashnik | Assistant Professor @ Tel Aviv University
BADAS-2.0 - Nexar Driving World Model - Roni Goldshmidt | Senior AI researcher @ Nexar
Multimodal Generative Agents At Scale - Aviad Dahan | AI Researcher @ ZyG

It was a deliberately mixed lineup: startup research, academic work, driving simulation, and agentic multimodal systems all in one room.

A recurring technical room

What made the second edition important was not only the speaker list. It was the proof that there is a recurring technical room in Tel Aviv for generative media: people working on systems, models, product, research, infrastructure, and evaluation, meeting around the same set of hard problems.

Generative Media TLV is meant to keep that room high-signal. The format is simple: bring together people building the future of generative media, let them share real work, and make space for the conversations that happen around the talks.

Thanks to Nebius for hosting the event, and to everyone who joined, spoke, asked questions, and helped make the second edition feel like a community that is starting to compound.
