SUMMARY:vLLM\, New SBIR Topics\, Helene Response
DESCRIPTION:We have a few topics that we will cover this week\, led by Josh Phillips (vLLM) and Gary Turner (Helene Response). We will also cover the list of AI related SBIR topics that were released last week. \nvLLM\nIn this session\, we will demonstrate how easy it is to deploy vLLM on RunPod using an A40 GPU instance (approximately $0.40 per hour for 48GB of VRAM). We will be deploying the new LLama 3.2 11B vision model to showcase vLLM’s deployment simplicity and performance capabilities in a cost-effective environment. This hands-on example will provide practical insights into getting started with vLLM and show the real-world benefits of using a platform like RunPod for efficient model serving. \nHurricane Helene Response\nGary and I have been having a running conversation about the chaotic response in the Eastern TN and Western NC mountains. This will be a short brainstorming session to see if there’s anything we can do to assist. \nSBIR/STTR\nAccording to the announcement on the DoD SBIR/STTR website: “New DoD SBIR & STTR topics will be released on the first Wednesday of every month.” To align with this schedule\, we will stop planning our normal sessions specific to SBIR and cover new topics as they come in. From the list of topics that dropped last week\, the AI related topics are: \n\nAF244-0001: Interactive Knowledge Graphs for Situational Awareness\nAF244-0004: Securing Legacies: Developing an AI-Enhanced Privacy Architecture for Military Family Knowledge Systems\nAF244-D002: Automated Correction of Optical Distortions in Canopy Transparencies\nAF244-D006: Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Design Rule Checker\nAF244-D016: Develop next-generation autonomous tracking\nOSD254-P001: Generative AI BAA Open Topic\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLinks: \n\nvLLM – https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/\nRunPod – https://www.runpod.io/\n\n\nDetails: \n\nDate – 10/09/2024\nTime – 6-7pm\nLocation – HudsonAlpha\nAddress –  601 Genome Way Northwest\, Huntsville\, AL 35806\nZoom –https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89843812772?pwd=YS6OlaDTMKKkwzuRvd7uk6oLIQ2Qce.1

SUMMARY:Fall Social
DESCRIPTION:Our next meetup with be a social at Stovehouse\, where we can get to know each other a bit better. We had a large group last week and it’s difficult to catch up and learn what everyone is doing with AI in such a short period of time. \nIf you’re new to the group\, or haven’t been to a meetup\, this is a great way to get involved and see who is doing fun things with AI. \nFrom last week – the video is posted along with a transcript – see the Links below. It’s always interesting to see what the transcription engine does with terms in a southern accent. This time it’s “BLLM” instead of “vLLM”. \nIn other news – there is a “Huntsville AI and Machine Learning Technology Exchange and Expo” coming up on November 13 at the Westin Hotel. While it’s not affiliated with this group\, it is a really good conference with good speakers. It’s free to go\, and if you would like to register as part of Huntsville AI\, let me know and I can get you the name & address to use. You should be able to register personally for free as well. \nLinks: \n\nvLLM\, SBIR Topics\, Helene Response – https://hsv.ai/2024/10/09/vllm-sbir-topics-helene-response/\nHuntsville AI and Machine Learning Technology Exchange and Expo – https://meetingsevents.reg.ext.hpe.com/event/0144e3b2-0951-4eea-b9a9-21be49da3441/summary\n\n
