Tech Lancaster Meetup

We will be upstairs in "The Sanctuary" - when you walk in the main entrance just head up the stairs! We will have signs as you walk in to guide you.
Pizza is provided free upstairs. Beer/wine/soda/etc at the bar downstairs! Please note there is no BYOB this month.

This months speakers:
Jonathan Bowman - What are you Inferring?
An overview of small, local, and open-source Large Language Models (LLMs), how to run them, and where to find them.
Oliver Cox - An Alternative to LLMs for Making Sense of Things
LLMs come with a tantalizing prospectus, offering to organize information for you. But LLMs bring numerous corrosive issues, among them data use and the "black box" problem. HSM's data system, the HYPERCOSM, allows users to express and visualize their ideas in a way that's unambiguous and interoperable. It is thus a viable alternative to LLMs organizing your ideas. Learn more about the design and data structure that powers the HYPERCOSM.
