For our first paper review of 2026, we will have Tom Plunkett lead us through papers that define benchmarks used to evaluate Agentic AI. This will be an hour long deep dive into an Agentic AI benchmark, the Tau benchmark. We’ll start with the 2024 Tau Benchmark paper, then cover the 2025 Tau2 benchmark paper. […]
This second session is supporting LearningQuest to provide an AI-101 class for its members. lquest.org
Jacquelyn Neal is facilitating a workshop at Vanderbilt on AI literacy the first weekend of February. She will do a run through of a hands-on activity and get some feedback from the group. We had a similar conversation about AI Literacy last week with the LearningQuest group. I presented a set of categories and asked for […]
Several folks from Huntsville AI will be giving talks and workshops at the 2026 AI Symposium at the Space & Rocket Center https://www.rocketcenter.com/2026-AI-Symposium/speakers
We’re meeting this Wednesday at 6pm in the executive conference room at HudsonAlpha. The door is on the right as you walk up to the main entrance. We’ll do a rundown of all of the sessions at the AI Symposium that we were able to cover. There were several slots where there were two sessions […]
Join us virtually Wednesday Feb 11th at 6 pm CST to continue our monthly Paper Review series! We will be dissecting SAM 3 (Segment Anything Model 3), a unified model that bridges the gap between geometric segmentation (clicks and boxes) and semantic understanding (text and concepts). While previous versions excelled at “segmenting that thing,” SAM […]
There have been a lot of recent advancements in both models and tools used for AI assisted coding. Some of these tools are more agentic, while others are still chat-based. There has also been a lot of movement by the big AI companies to either acquihire opensource projects or use other approaches to gain an […]
This week, we’ll attempt to cover OpenClaw. Some in the group have used it, but many of us haven’t had a chance – or may just be hesitant based on the potential for hazards. So this week will be a little more of an ad-hoc discussion. If you have used OpenClaw, we would love to […]
This week, we’ll cover a recent blog post by Anthropic: “Labor market impacts of AI: A new measure and early evidence” and combine that with labor statistics from the Huntsville MSA. The Huntsville Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in northern Alabama consists of Limestone and Madison counties, anchored by the city of Huntsville. We will also look […]
Please join us for a discussion on how we study the shapes of biological molecules, leading up to the new AlphaFold 3 AI model from Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs. We will start by talking about the famous protein folding problem and how scientists used to figure out these shapes using older methods like X-ray […]
Good evening! It’s time for our Spring Social! The forecast looks like rain, so we’re going to get together at Back Forty Beer Company. There’s a lot of room inside, and they also have good food.
