SUMMARY:AI Symposium Recap
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWe’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 and one workshop all going at the same time\, so it’s only possible to cover the entire schedule by dividing and conquering. \nWe’ll also capture comments that we can flow back to the organizers to prepare 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\nComing Up: \nNext week we will have a virtual paper review led by Josh Phillips. 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). I’ll get more details out later this week. \nThere’s also a new monthly meetup at UAH I2C that Carl Holden (Zellus Marketing) and the ARC are starting. They are starting off with a demo of Lovable that should be interesting\, as well as providing food & drinks. There is no cost for this meetup. More info at the cool Lovable site that Carl thew out there – https://ai-after-hours.lovable.app/\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\nAI Huntsville Workforce Development Committee: \nWe met in January to start planning for the year and see how we can impact the workforce in the Huntsville area. The strategy that I’m advising here is that we find a way to measure the AI Literacy of the greater Huntsville workforce. Then we can put together a strategy to “move the needle” to drive adoption of AI tools that will make us more productive\, while watching the risk of tasks being replaced by AI driven automation. \nIf you have thoughts in this direction\, please let me know. We’re doing a working lunch this week to try to put together a session for March.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLinks: \n\nI was going to link to the SRC AI Symposium page\, but I get an access denied 🙁\n\nDetails: \n\nDate – 02/04/2026\nTime – 6:00 – 7:30 pm\nLocation – HudsonAlpha – Executive Conference Room\nAddress – 601 Genome Way Northwest\, Huntsville\, AL 35806\nGoogle Meet – https://meet.google.com/qbz-ehjb-qij

SUMMARY:Virtual Paper Review – SegementAnything3: Segment Video with Text
DESCRIPTION: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 3 introduces Promptable Concept Segmentation (PCS)\, the ability to find\, segment\, and track all instances of a specific concept (e.g.\, “striped cat” or “red apple”) across both images and videos. \nTopics we will cover :\n\nPVS vs. PCS: The evolution from Promptable Visual Segmentation (points/masks) to Promptable Concept Segmentation (noun phrases/exemplars).\nLocalization-Recognition Conflict: Why forcing a model to know “where” something is often conflicts with knowing “what” it is\, and how open-vocabulary detection has historically struggled with this.\nData Engine Basics: The role of human-in-the-loop vs. model-in-the-loop pipelines for generating massive-scale segmentation datasets.\nArchitecture: How SAM 3 fuses an image-level DETR-based detector with a memory-based video tracker using a shared Perception Encoder (PE) backbone.\nPresence Head: A look at the novel “presence token” that decouples recognition (is the concept in the image?) from localization (where are the pixels?)\nSA-Co dataset (4M unique concepts).\nVideo Disambiguation: Strategies for handling temporal ambiguity\, including “masklet” suppression and periodic re-prompting during tracking failures.\n\nLinks: \n\nPaper:\nhttps://ai.meta.com/research/publications/segment-anything-model-3-sam-3/\nCode:\nhttps://github.com/facebookresearch/sam3\nDemo:\nhttps://segment-anything.com\n\nDetails: \n\nDate – 02/11/2026\nTime – 6:00 – 7:30 pm\nLocation – VIRTUAL\nGoogle Meet – https://meet.google.com/drf-dydt-mgn

SUMMARY:Vibe Coding Tips and Tricks
DESCRIPTION: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 advantage. \nFor this session\, we will share our successes and failures with using these tools. I know that we will likely have folks in the room actively using Claude Code\, Codex\, Cline\, OpenCode\, and maybe a few others. If you would like to come and share your setup\, that would be appreciated as well. \nHere are some of the concepts that we will try to make sense of. Each tool seems to have its own set of terminology which may or may not overlap with others. \n\nPrompts\nSpecs\nTasks\nSkills\nAgents\nHooks\nMemory Bank\n\nHopefully we will come to some sort of collection of practices that others entering this phase of development can use as a starting point. \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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLinks: \n\nI don’t know what Zencoder is\, but this is a pretty good intro for spec driven development – https://docs.zencoder.ai/user-guides/tutorials/spec-driven-development-guide\n\nDetails: \n\nDate – 02/25/2026\nTime – 6:00 – 7:30 pm\nLocation – HudsonAlpha – Executive Conference Room\nAddress – 601 Genome Way Northwest\, Huntsville\, AL 35806\nGoogle Meet – https://meet.google.com/krb-aizx-fja

SUMMARY:Intro to OpenClaw
DESCRIPTION: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 hear about your experience. \nOpenClaw is a free\, open-source\, self-hosted AI agent designed to act as a 24/7 digital employee rather than just a chatbot. \nIt can read/write files\, run terminal commands\, and control a web browser. You interact with it via apps you already use\, such as Telegram\, WhatsApp\, or Discord\, rather than a proprietary web portal. It remembers your preferences\, past conversations\, and long-term goals\, evolving into a tailored assistant over time. It can be programmed to work while you sleep—monitoring GitHub repos\, checking flights\, or even conducting business outreach autonomously. \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\n\nLinks: \n\nhttps://openclaw.ai/\n\nDetails: \n\nDate – 03/04/2026\nTime – 6:00 – 7:30 pm\nLocation – HudsonAlpha – Executive Conference Room\nAddress – 601 Genome Way Northwest\, Huntsville\, AL 35806\nGoogle Meet – https://meet.google.com/xyk-amgy-ojt

SUMMARY:Virtual Paper Review: AI Labor Market Impacts
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWe will also look at the latest results for GDPval provided by the latest drops of GPT-5.4 and Sonnet 4.6. \nMy schedule for this week and last are very crazy\, and there is a chance that I will be away from keyboard for this call. If that’s the case\, we will dial in an have a discussion using the links below. \nI also plan to present some personal findings with using the COCOMO II estimation model to reverse the SLOC and complexity of the Ag Tech project that I’m working with to show the estimated hours to build the same code that I’ve generated.\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: \n\nhttps://www.anthropic.com/research/labor-market-impacts\nhttps://huggingface.co/datasets/Anthropic/EconomicIndex\nhttps://www2.labor.alabama.gov/oes/OESTab.aspx\nhttps://huggingface.co/datasets/openai/gdpval\n\nDetails: \n\nDate – 03/18/2026\nTime – 6:00 – 7:30 pm\nGoogle Meet – https://meet.google.com/oxb-khub-fid

SUMMARY:AlphaFold 3
DESCRIPTION: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 crystallography and Ramachandran plots. From there\, we will quickly review how the first AlphaFold and AlphaFold 2 models were built and why they were such a big deal for science. \nNext\, we will dive into what makes AlphaFold 3 a major step forward. While older versions mostly focused on proteins\, this new model uses an updated design and a diffusion network to predict the 3D shapes of almost all of life’s molecules\, including DNA\, RNA\, and drug molecules. It is much more accurate at showing how all these parts interact with each other. \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\n\nLinks: \n\nhttps://deepmind.google/science/alphafold/\nNature Publication for AlphaFold 3\nGithub Repo for AlphaFold 3\n\nDetails: \n\nDate – 03/25/2026\nTime – 6:00 – 7:30 pm\nLocation – HudsonAlpha – Executive Conference Room\nAddress – 601 Genome Way Northwest\, Huntsville\, AL 35806\nGoogle Meet – https://meet.google.com/fyi-oqjg-fiz
