SUMMARY:DeepSeek-R1 and Other Topics
DESCRIPTION:This week we will be back at HudsonAlpha in their classroom. This is a new room for us\, which I believe is on the opposite side from the large conference room we have been using. \nHudsonAlpha Tech Challenge \nWe should have Tyler Clark stop by for a few minutes to discuss some changes to HATCH and how we can get involved. Otherwise\, I can cover based on what I know. The main change from the past challenges is that this will be a one day challenge occurring on Saturday\, March 1st. \nDeepSeek-R1 \nWe’ll be discussing DeepSeek-R1\, which has been unavoidable in most conversations over the last week – and rightly so. We will cover the architecture\, the approach used for training\, as well as the distilled models based on the Llama and Qwen architectures. We have several folks in the group that already have DeepSeek-R1 running locally\, so if you need help getting it running or would like to connect directly please let me know. \nFor part of the discussion\, you may want to refer back to the Mixture of Experts talk that Josh Phillips led during one of our meetups in October 2023. You can find the link below. \nPaper Review Series \nThis year we are going to start a review series to look at published papers in-depth. These will be a monthly\, virtual-only meetup to start with but may shift based on interest. The first paper review will be on Wednesday\, February 12\, led by Josh Phillips to cover the DeepSeek-R1 paper (also linked below). \nSBIR/STTR Topics? \nThe next round of SBIR/STTR Topics are supposed to drop on Wednesday. Given the issues with funding being stopped for NSF grants and other changes driven by the new administration\, I don’t know if we will see new topics drop or not. \nAI Symposium \nWe’ll take a few minutes to talk about how the AI Symposium sessions went.  The organizers are interested in feedback for the quality of the sessions and any suggested changes for next year.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLinks & Other Events: \n\nDeepSeek-R1 on GitHub – https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1?tab=readme-ov-file\nDeepSeek-R1 Paper – https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.12948\nMixture of Experts Discussion – https://hsv.ai/2023/10/25/mixture-of-experts-harnessing-the-hidden-architecture-of-gpt4/\nIntroduction to AI Slides – https://github.com/HSV-AI/presentations/blob/master/2025/250116_Introduction_to_AI_LearningQuest.pdf\nUses of AI Slides – https://github.com/HSV-AI/presentations/blob/master/2025/250123_Uses_of_AI_LearningQuest.pdf?raw=true\n2025 HATCH – https://hudsonalpha.org/techchallenge/\n2025 BSides – https://nac-issa.org/events/bsides/\n\nDetails: \n\nDate – 2/05/2025\nTime – 6-7:30pm\nLocation – HudsonAlpha\nAddress –  601 Genome Way Northwest\, Huntsville\, AL 35806\nZoom –https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82283427713?pwd=PCuFpoeIIYQGhAWDain4YK4FoRbETU.1
